Roman Reigns made his thunderous return on the SmackDown Season Premiere when he rescued Cody Rhodes after his Steel Cage match victory over Solo Sikoa. Later, in the main event, the Original Tribal Chief reappeared, confirming a tag team match at Bad Blood 2024. Roman and Cody will compete against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.
However, during this process, Roman Reigns seems to have confirmed that "OTC" has more than one meaning. After returning at SummerSlam this year, he introduced the WWE Universe to the new term, meaning the Original Tribal Chief. However, during his segment in the main event of SmackDown tonight, the former Undisputed Champion confirmed that he is not just the Original Tribal Chief but also the Only Tribal Chief.
Additionally, The Head of the Table asserted that, regardless of whether he wears the Ula Fala around his neck, he remains the Tribal Chief of the family.

With this segment, OTC appears to have two meanings now: the Original Tribal Chief and the Only Tribal Chief. Having two interpretations of the same nickname could benefit WWE, as they could introduce new merchandise featuring "Only Tribal Chief."
It will be interesting to see how things unfold as we head towards Bad Blood 2024 in the coming weeks.
Roman Reigns recreated another famous moment during WWE SmackDown
Additionally, Roman Reigns recreated another memorable moment during his main event appearance on SmackDown Season Premiere. After declaring himself the Only Tribal Chief, Reigns asserted that WWE is his show, saying, "This is my WWE." This line struck a chord with fans, reminding them of a similar statement Reigns made in the past.
That moment occurred during an episode of Monday Night RAW, where the OTC declared he was tired of being humble, saying, "This is my show, and this is my cameraman."
In terms of fan reaction on the internet, the WWE Universe largely agreed with Reigns' statement, acknowledging how he truly is the "needle mover," with no lies detected in his words.
Additionally, this marked the first time Roman Reigns has spoken on the mic since his return at SummerSlam this year.
It remains to be seen what will happen next in the Bloodline saga as we approach the tag team match at Bad Blood 2024, featuring the unexpected alliance of Reigns and Cody Rhodes.
