Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa will put their strengths to the test during the Tribal Combat match. The bout will take place on January 6 when WWE RAW moves to Netflix.
The OTC’s team won the match at Survivor Series: WarGames, following which he challenged Solo Sikoa to a battle for the Ula Fala and the recognition as Tribal Chief of the Anoaʻi family. Sikoa accepted the challenge, and it would be difficult for him to compete in a match without his Bloodline to help him out.
Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa probably won’t have members of their respective groups present for the bout. However, three surprise debuts could potentially shake up the contest.
Check out the three realistic debuts that could happen at the Tribal Combat Match on WWE RAW’s Netflix premiere.

#3. Journey Fatu could show up at WWE RAW's Netflix premiere
Jacob Fatu has been ripping it up on SmackDown while working under Solo Sikoa’s leadership. He had a good 2024, and fans could see him become a top star in 2025.
His brother, Journey Fatu, is also waiting to be noticed and join the same company. He could do so during the Tribal Combat match on WWE RAW’s Netflix premiere.
Journey could debut to help Sikoa since his brother also works with the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief. He could even end up helping Roman Reigns instead and come as a babyface. He could later try to convince Jacob Fatu to join The OTC’s side.
Debuting on RAW’s Netflix premiere would give him a platform to become a top name almost immediately. It would also allow Roman Reigns or Solo Sikoa to win without denting the other star’s value.
#2. Roman Reigns could get some help from Zilla Fatu
Zilla Fatu recently started his wrestling career and gained prominence in Game Changer Wrestling (GCW). The 25-year-old worked with the promotion for several months before taking a break.
Many believe that he could be moving to WWE soon. Roman Reigns could call upon his cousin for some help during the Tribal Combat match.
The WWE Universe could see Solo Sikoa break his promise and bring in Jacob Fatu or Tama Tonga to interfere in the contest. That could see Paul Heyman call out Zilla Fatu to make his WWE debut and help Reigns even the odds.
The Usos and Sami Zayn are involved in different storylines, and that could keep them away from the ring during the contest. Therefore, having someone like Zilla debut on the big stage would make him an instant star.
He has already stated that he hopes to see The OTC win the Tribal Combat on RAW’s Netflix premiere. Triple H could make him play a major role to make that happen.
#1. Hikuleo could join Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline during the Tribal Combat
Hikuleo is silently waiting on the sidelines to make his WWE debut. The real-life Bloodline member signed with the company last year and is looking to make an impact at the right time.
Many believe Hikuleo will make it through NXT before moving to the main roster. However, the big match on Monday could take him to the main roster immediately.
Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa’s real-life brother could show up at a crucial point in the Tribal Combat when Roman Reigns is on top. He could distract or attack the top star, helping Solo Sikoa win the contest.
Having Hikuleo join the same side his brothers are working on would make sense. It would also give him the chance to work in their shadow to learn the ropes on the main roster quickly.
