Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa’s Tribal Combat was the opening match of RAW's Netflix premiere. The bout received much praise from fans as the Samoan cousins displayed some of the best wrestling moves from their arsenals.
As expected, the match was brutal, involving several high-risk spots. Towards the end of the bout, members of both Bloodlines intervened to create more chaos. Kevin Owens also launched an attack on Reigns. However, Cody Rhodes rushed in to take out Owens, leaving Sikoa and the OTC alone inside the squared circle.
Reigns capitalized on the opening and pinned Sikoa. Following the bout, The Rock came out, and many expected him to betray Reigns by revealing himself as the true mastermind behind the new Bloodline. However, in a heartwarming moment, The People’s Champion placed the Ula Fala around the 39-year-old star’s neck.

It remains to be seen whether Roman Reigns will compete in a singles match against The Rock at WrestleMania 41. Regardless, he will play a major role in this year's Show of Shows.
