On WWE RAW's Netflix debut show, Roman Reigns finally reclaimed the Ula Fala around his neck by defeating Solo Sikoa in a Tribal Combat match. The match saw multiple interferences from both the OG Bloodline and new Bloodline members.
In a surprising twist, Kevin Owens stunned the OTC, but Reigns still managed to defeat the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief. Post-match, The Final Boss also appeared and placed the Ula Fala around the neck of the former Undisputed WWE Champion.
In this article, we will discuss three reasons why Roman Reigns defeated Solo Sikoa on tonight's show.
#3. To end his rivalry with Solo Sikoa & new Bloodline
One reason behind the victory of the Original Tribal Chief could be that WWE might want to end his rivalry with Solo Sikoa and the new Bloodline. Reports suggest that a match between Reigns and CM Punk is under discussion for WrestleMania 41.
To open new directions and fresh storylines for the OTC, WWE might have decided to end his rivalry with the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief by having him defeat Solo in a Tribal Combat match and reclaim the Ula Fala.
#2. To turn Roman Reigns into a babyface star completely
Since his return to the company at SummerSlam, Roman Reigns has shown a slightly heroic character. However, one thing that made fans question his babyface turn was the concern that he would become corrupt again once Roman reclaimed the Ula Fala.
WWE may have planned to finally turn Roman into a babyface star by giving him the Ula Fala back, showing that despite regaining his power, he was no longer corrupt.
#1. Roman Reigns is always the real Tribal Chief of The Bloodline Saga
Another reason behind Roman Reigns' victory over Solo Sikoa in the Tribal Combat match is that he has always been the true Tribal Chief in this family drama. The only reason Solo claimed the Ula Fala was due to the absence of the Original Tribal Chief and to facilitate Reigns' turn into a babyface star.
Now that Reigns is back and seemingly a full-fledged babyface, WWE decided to give him the Ula Fala, which has belonged to him from the start. Additionally, with the company soon kicking off its Road to WrestleMania 41, the Head of the Table is expected to appear more frequently on television.
All these factors provide WWE with a compelling reason to return the Ula Fala to Reigns by having him defeat Solo Sikoa in the Tribal Combat match.
