A non-WWE star who many feel resembles Roman Reigns has finally reacted to comparisons between him and the Original Tribal Chief. Reigns is considered one of the biggest stars in the world today, so it's a lot of pressure for someone to be compared to him.
Hoka The Hybrid King is a top star for promotions such as Reality of Wrestling and Gremlin House Wrestling. He's half-Samoan and half-Tongan and wants to inspire the next generation of Tongan wrestlers. He's been compared to the OTC due to how they look alike, from their facial features, build, hair, and even tattoos.
In an interview with MuscleManMalcolm, Hoka finally revealed his real feelings about fans who compare him to Roman Reigns. He admitted that it's great to be mentioned alongside the WWE Superstar, but he also wanted everyone to know that he wants to carve his own path in pro wrestling.

"It is nice to like be compared to the top guy. Not gonna lie to you. It is cool, but at the same time, I'm my own person, you know what I mean? So, I take that as a compliment, but at the same time, it's like I'm trying to do everything to separate from him," Hoka said. [12:44 - 13:05]

Roman Reigns finds out CM Punk's favor on SmackDown
The main event of Night One of WrestleMania 41 will be a Triple Threat match involving Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins. It's rare to have a match like this without a championship at stake, but the three stars have made it work through their history and animosity with one another.
Another main factor in the story was the mystery surrounding the favor Paul Heyman owed to Punk, who finally revealed it last Friday on SmackDown. He will have Heyman in his corner at WrestleMania 41, which infuriated The Head of the Table.
Reigns tried to get Heyman to not fulfill the favor, but to no avail. Punk delivered a thunderous GTS on the OTC to end the show. Rollins was watching in the corner, telling his former Shield brother that he warned him this would happen.
