I love that he took advantage of the empty arenas during Covid and honed his craft and created this character of the Tribal Chief. He became a much better and overall phenomenal performer!
Yeah this guy is a good heel who knows his game...
He did no doubt but I've always found Roman captivating and interesting to watch! He's the man got me back into wrestling! Hadn't watched since I was a child!
Well said, the lack of fans truly allowed Roman to shine with the Tribal Chief character.
I missed that time, could you tell me how he benefited from no fans in arena?
You often hear guys talk about ‘doing the little things’ in the business such as facials, body language and feeling the crowd’s energy/playing on their emotions. I don’t think anybody to date does any of that better than Roman Reigns.
WWA-BJCDE
he's definitely a pro
He refined his craft to a masterful level.
He'd do so well in Hollywood after his time as Tribal Chief
Absolutely 100% facts.
John Cena.
Our Tribal Chief! so proud of Roman, been a fan since day one. Win or lose, he'll always be a legend especially to some of us, he's our childhood.
Well said
5:17 how do i become the sun 🔥🔥🔥🔥 roman is very well spoken . Mic skills on another level
Roman gets finally the recognition he deserves from Fans to marks ☝️☝️☝️
taking his health into consideration, it's pretty understandable he drops the title at mania his done more then enough for wwe roman made smackdown watchable again definitely put the company on his back took it to new levels
Without Roman there's no point in me watching anymore! He's the reason I watch! He's always captivated my interest since his days in developmental thru the Sheild and his singles titles but we've never done or seen anything like the Tribal Cheif before! Everything else pales into insignificance very meh!
Host is smooth and you can see how his guests would warm to him
This is why Roman Reigns is the Face of WWE. They trust him to carry the company...even almost 4 years since he came back during the pandemic. The Tribal Chief and his Wiseman did what no one else did: created compelling storytelling with no fans in attendance. To this day, the Head of the Table and the Bloodline are still the most must-see performers in all WWE. Anyone who gets involved in their storyline also gets elevated...It's still all by design. Roman Reigns continues to be The One in WWE. For this reason, Roman Reigns will retain his title on Night2 and then move on to breaking Hogan's championship record. Acknowledge Him! ☝🏽
Anyone else notice that over the years Reigns' speech patterns have changed? Before he sounded like a shy young dude trying to find himself. Then he started talking like a College jock. Now he talks like an experienced adult 👍
Rock vs Roman storyline they need to continue their story
not with the title though
@@Thomas-zs5wt Roman was not dropping the title to Rock anyway
Cody wins at WM. Rock "betrays" Roman for failing to bring home the title, attacks him and becomes the new tribal chief and leads the bloodline. Roman becomes "injured" from the attack to take a long deserving break due to his condition. Rock vs Cody late in the year and wins the title. Roman returns and wins the Royal Rumble to challenge the Rock for tribal chief status and the title at WM 41. Rock vs Roman WM 41.
@@ur.ummays I'm digging this concept
@@ur.ummays are you secretly a writer at wwe
Roman is a future HOF☝🏼🩸
Come on heavy, everyone already knows that
Love you Roman 😊😊
The pandemic era really helped Roman hone his character. 4 years of incredible work. Great interview.
Tessitore is the man. Dude could interview a tree and make it a good interview.
His rise has been phenomenal!
Proud of you Roman! ☝🏾
We are shocking the world again at WrestleMania ☝️☝️☝️☝️

It's gonna be a sad day tomorrow when my Tribal Chief looses 😢😢 Acknowledge him and what he's done for us
Well if he retains, majority will be angry
@@shikuri3178 I was in that building last year I was one of few that wanted him to retain that energy was something I never experienced before I'm over here yelling at all these people to acknowledge him
He’s winning against Cody. Mark this down
@@holdmyweight3597 That would be AWFUL, it's time for him to lose the title, it was time last year, but now it's REALLY time.
@@JB825_shut up

Roman❤❤❤
Thanks for everything Roman. Hope your vacation is good and am excited for the Roman vs Rock match at mania 41
Cody is not winning 😂
He has changed and evolved
Love Romans confidense. Hes so smart and articulated but i wanted the guy to ask Roman about the retirement rumours about Roman going round right now. Way i look at it if Roman leaves am done watching. Hes the only interesting and captivating thing on it!
Best storyline in a long time
The GOAT will retain.
We got it weekend ☝️☝️
If roman loses im done he is the reason im watching wwe again
I agree 😊

Thank you My Tribal Chief☝🏾
Respect
Honestly Roman was outshined in the build to Mania, it feels more like Rock vs Cody.
Everyone Was Outshined Cody, Seth & Roman
@@AKmohanrajj1 Naaa, its clearly Rock from the heel side and Cody as the babyface.
Rocky outshined everyone in that feud, Cody was made look weak,and treated like a skurnk Seth was the afterfourth, and Roman was not active made take take back seat for the rock,
the Rock was made look stronger and superstar in the feud ...
But I love how they tried to fix it ...last Monday at Raw...They made Roman look more dominant when he saved the rock and layed smackdown on Cody and Seth, and at the end when they raised the titles Roman looked dominant with the championship and Rocky looked like a sideman of Roman ... exactly how they should have build the feud as tag match not focusing only on one person, i feel like Rocky overbooked himself, and almost ruined everything during the build, like he was making everything about himself until triple H fixed on the last Monday night Raw before WrestleMania.
I mean the Rock is one of the most famous people in the world for a reason
Perfection from the beginning ☝️🩸
Cody wins at WM. Rock "betrays" Roman for failing to bring home the title, attacks him and becomes the new tribal chief and leads the bloodline. Roman becomes "injured" from the attack to take a long deserving break due to his condition. Rock vs Cody late in the year and wins the title. Roman returns and wins the Royal Rumble to challenge the Rock for tribal chief status and the title at WM 41. Rock vs Roman WM 41.
Yep
rock wouldnt be going over for the title period. He has already shown you can have the best match on the card without the title.
Roman Reigns vs The Rock if that happens at WrestleMania 41 it's not going to be a mid card it will be for the undisputed WWE universal Champion
@@triggatrey15thgasup did I say mid card? You don't need a title for a main event match. That's been proven time after time.
@@MrML4L this is a new era kid, John cena and the Rock didn't need it the first time but they had to the second time, ROMAN REIGNS DO NEED TO KEEP THE BELT TO FIGHT THE ROCK TO BE A PART OF FINISHING HIS STORY. you think rock vs Roman going to close Wrestlemania with no title on the line 🤣
Roman beat Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40 Cody crybabies
Hope he keeps the belt and chase records Cody Rhodes to me is boring. He is not championship material and he will lose that belt as soon as he gets it. Which will make Roman's run with the belt meaningless.
Smash Rhodes once and for all and make history.
Honest question, don’t Roman and Heyman have involvement in creative? What about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as he sits on the board of TKO. How long have The Rock and Roman and Heyman known who’s leaving WM 40 as champ on Sunday night? And did The Rock have any say in who wins?
I watched the documentary and it seems like he has a big involvement in his own creativity because behind the scenes he's the one to include the usos, solo sikoa and Sami Zayn into the storyline. I don't think he chooses the outcome of his matches but I'm pretty sure he knows the results before hand
Roman and Paul are behind the creative, with the bloodline story,him and Paul Call the final decisions on how Roman and the bloodline story is presented, I'm not sure if him and the company decided to have him retain or not, but if he want to retain it possible because he calls the shot with the creative of the entire WWE backstage since 2020, when it come to the bloodline story.
I think the Rock is limited with board of directors not with the wwe, he has nothing to do with in staff and creative teams of wwe.
One of the greatest championship runs in the history of the company. Salute!
❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
ROMANN REIGNSSSS ALL DAYYY!!! ☝🏾☝🏾🩸🩸🩸😤😤😤☝🏾🩸
I stopped watching wrestling years ago. However he brought me back .
Solo will be the next in line ❤
It's obvious that Roman loves him and he named Solo the Tribal heir because he know that Solo deserves it and can handle the business 💪🏼
Nobody deserves to be the face of WWE more than Solo 😍💪🏼
Era of the Villain ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾😈😈😈😈😈😈

his last full day as champion
i hope roman wins on night 2 and continue his reign as champion
Im proud of Roman Reigns
Cody Rhodes fans : Roman is a paper champion, he always needs help to win 😡
Also Cody Rhodes fans : John Cena and Stone Cold will help Cody win 😊
The joke writes itself. Clowns
Acknowledge Him!!!!
Roman Reigns is my favorite wrestling i don wanted him to loses at Wrestlemania 40 it will be sad😢
They way everything is being built and the hype it’s making me nervous about night two and is making me feel like Cody might get the W because they’re giving Roman a lot of well deserved flowers. Which makes it feel like the end of his reign.
☝️☝️☝️
My Tribal Chief.. 🩸☝🏼
Roman loses in front of all of the bloodline and his family. Rock then beats him down and is acknowledge as Tribal Chief and the next year leads up to Rocks vs Reigns.
ROMAN REIGNS FANS ASSEMBLE HERE ❤️❤️😍😍❤️😍❤️😍❤
