The WWE Universe is arguably one of the most dedicated fanbases in the world of sports and entertainment. Fans have taken extreme measures to show support for their favorite superstars, with everything from tattoos of wrestlers to naming their children after in-ring talents. Roman Reigns has been honored at fan weddings before, and recently he was recognized in a major way at another marriage ceremony.
The Original Tribal Chief has touched the hearts of many fans over the years, despite his heel antics and Bloodline drama. A cancer survivor once shared their Reigns tattoo after being inspired by the latter's fight with the disease, while a groom arrived at his wedding with Roman's theme song playing. The second-generation superstar publicly acknowledged both tributes, and these are just a few of the many over-the-top displays of support from fans of The Head of the Table.
Two Canadian fans recently went viral for their tribute to The Big Dog. Violinist, Sofia Spilberg, took to TikTok to share footage from an Indian wedding she recently performed at. The video shows a unique rendition of Roman's theme song being played as the bride and groom entered the ceremony to familiar pyro, which appears to be a regular occurrence at weddings done at this particular venue.
The now-happily married man raised a Universal Championship replica in the air as his bride held up one finger to acknowledge The OTC. Their guests continued to cheer as the newlyweds took the moment in. Spilberg also mentioned the WWE Universe in her TikTok caption.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
"Only WWE fans would understand! [smiling face with open hands emoji] #wwe #wwefan #indianwedding #wwf #viral #foryou #foryourpage," Sofia Spilberg wrote.
Reigns responded to the video in the comments section, leaving a simple index finger up emoji to acknowledge his fans for their special tribute. The former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion had previously reacted publicly to another married couple that paid tribute during their wedding ceremony as well.
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes WWE SmackDown update
World Wrestling Entertainment will return to the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, OK for tonight's live SmackDown episode. This will be the final edition before next week's Bad Blood go-home show.
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes had been advertised for tonight's show, with Roman front-and-center on the SmackDown website banner. However, Cody is the only one advertised on the company and arena websites as of this writing, with his face now featured on the banner. After Solo Sikoa was announced for the show, it was believed that Roman and Cody would also appear to continue to build toward the upcoming premium live event.
Officials recently confirmed upcoming dates for Reigns, and tonight's SmackDown was not listed. He and the world champion will team up to face Sikoa and Jacob Fatu on October 5 at Bad Blood, in what will be Reigns' first match since WrestleMania XL.
