A popular WWE star shared his reaction to Roman Reigns' stunning loss this past Saturday at Crown Jewel 2024. The Original Tribal Chief reunited with The Usos to battle The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga in a Six-Man Tag Team Match to open the recently concluded premium live event.
Solo Sikoa connected with two Samoan Spikes on The Head of the Table at Crown Jewel and pinned Reigns to secure the victory for The Bloodline. Speaking with AceOdds, Wade Barrett claimed that with stars as popular as Reigns, it was difficult to justify losses such as these as there is always a certain decrease in value every time such a thing occurs.
"Yeah, it's always difficult when you have a star the size and level of Roman Reigns. You don't want to see those guys losing often because every time they lose, their value in the loss decreases," said Barrett.
The RAW commentator added that Reigns taking the clean loss would only motivate him to get back to the top of the company, to re-conquer all that he had lost in the past few months.

"Hey, everything you thought you had in this industry, you were the top dog, you're no longer that guy. What are you going to do to make sure you can climb back up the mountain and become number one again? It's going to add fuel to Roman Reigns and his motivation to reconquer this industry," added Barrett. [H/T: Fightful]
Bill Apter believes RAW star will be on Roman Reigns' team at WWE Survivor Series
Wrestling veteran Bill Apter recently suggested that Sami Zayn would ultimately be a member of Roman Reigns' team at WWE Survivor Series on November 30.
Jey Uso interrupted Sami Zayn on this past Monday's episode of WWE RAW and invited him to tonight's edition of SmackDown. Apter recently predicted that the former Honorary Uce would compete alongside Reigns at Survivor Series later this month.
"Hard to believe that there is dissension in the Roman-Uso's faction. I did not expect that at all. No one did. Now that Sami Zayn is in the picture it's made things even worse as he supposedly inadvertently attacked Roman Reigns. This Bloodline is a mess right now. I think though that Zayn will somehow wind up with the Roman team at Survivor Series and more dissension may happen there," Bill Apter said.
Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently suggested that Reigns may have wanted to get pinned by Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel to enhance their storyline.
It will be interesting to see what the OTC says to Zayn later tonight on WWE SmackDown, should The Underdog From The Underground show up on the blue brand.
