Did Roman Reigns injure himself during Tribal Combat Match on RAW’s Netflix debut?

Roman Reigns finally regained his position as the undisputed Tribal Chief and the prestigious Ula Fala after a historic win over Solo Sikoa at the season premiere of WWE RAW on Netflix. The Tribal Combat Match between the cousins was the opening match of the episode, and it was lauded by the spectators. However, the high-profile match drew concern among fans, as many saw Reigns get caught in a bad spot and seemingly injure himself.

The OTC and his former Enforcer went to war last night for the right to be crowned the rightful Tribal Chief. This high-stakes bout ended with Roman Reigns pinning Solo Sikoa and The Rock placing the Ula Fala necklace around the OTC's neck in an emotional moment.

Following his triumph, Roman Reigns posted a picture of him posing with the Ula Fala wrapped around his neck on X (Twitter). The eagle-eyed fans noticed a cut on Reigns' head. It appears that the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion sustained the cut during the Tribal Combat, as he endured brutal shots via steel chairs and kendo sticks from Solo. That said, Roman and Paul Heyman had a backstage segment later in the show where the duo didn't give any indication that the 39-year-old was injured.

Roman Reigns to face a former WWE World Champion at WrestleMania 41?

The Bloodline saga most likely concluded with the Original Tribal Chief regaining the Ula Fala after overpowering Solo Sikoa last night. Many previously believed The Rock would return and reveal himself as the true mastermind behind the saga, and this storyline would continue until WrestleMania 41.

While The Final Boss made a jaw-dropping return on RAW's Netflix premiere, he seemingly turned babyface, as the Hollywood star acknowledged Roman Reigns and honored his cousin by putting the Ula Fala around the 39-year-old's neck, suggesting he may be out of the equation for now.

Following this twist, fans have been wondering which star Reigns will face next. Some reports have suggested the Triple H-led creative team is considering booking a bout between the OTC and CM Punk for The Showcase of The Immortals this year.

However, this angle is speculative for now. It remains to be seen what the creative team has in store for Reigns in the coming months.
