With the Monday Night RAW debut on Netflix, Roman Reigns emerged as the true Tribal Chief for the Bloodline after winning the Tribal Combat battle. WWE may be preparing a special title for the Tribal Chief, despite not revealing it during the debut, according to reports.
However, for now, the Ula Fala is the official symbol of the Tribal Chief. The most interesting and shocking part is that The Rock crowned Reigns with it, which left everyone off-guard.
The match between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa was intense from the start. At first, it seemed like Sikoa might win, but Reigns took control in the second half.
They used weapons such as tables, and Solo managed to take a huge powerbomb through one. Things got chaotic when the referee was attacked, and interference, as always under Bloodline rules, was expected.
In a surprising twist, Cody Rhodes helped Roman Reigns win, sending the crowd into a frenzy. When Kevin Owens almost took out Reigns with a neckbreaker, Rhodes emerged from the crowd and stopped Owens from attacking the former WWE champion.

The match ended with Reigns dodging a Samoan Spike and hitting two powerful spears to secure the victory. As Paul Heyman was about to present the Ula Fala to Reigns, The Rock made a shocking appearance.
He took over and handed the Ula Fala to Reigns, officially recognizing him as “The Tribal Chief” and cementing his place as the leader of the Bloodline.

When asked about a possible match with The Rock, Reigns kept it mysterious. He said, “I don’t have to tease anything, you guys do it for us. We’re just gonna let the internet do its thing. That would just defeat the whole purpose of this. The internet won’t do its thing if I said yes or no, so we’ll see.”
