The former WWE Champion in question is none other than AJ Styles. The Phenomenal One referenced Roman Reigns on the latest episode of SmackDown. Styles said The Tribal Chief was “on his radar” when asked by the commentary team.
Styles was on commentary for Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson’s match against The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar) on the blue brand. The two teams have been at odds against each other ever since the O.C. were drafted to WWE SmackDown.
