The highly anticipated clash between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa is the direction for the debut episode of WWE Raw on Netflix. The match, billed as Tribal Chief vs. Tribal Chief in Tribal Combat, will take place on January 6th at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles if Solo accepts.

During this week’s episode of SmackDown, Reigns delivered an emotional promo reflecting on his recent setbacks. Reigns lamented losing everything that once defined his dominance—his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, his Wiseman Paul Heyman, the Bloodline faction, and, most importantly, his Ula Fala (symbolizing respect and leadership). The WWE Universe is buzzing as Reigns vows to reclaim his legacy in this monumental showdown with Sikoa.

Reigns and Sikoa’s Heated Rivalry

This feud between Reigns and Sikoa has been simmering since SummerSlam, when Reigns made his shocking return and cost Sikoa a chance to dethrone Cody Rhodes as the Undisputed WWE Champion. The animosity has only escalated, with the two most recently facing off at Bad Blood, where Rhodes and Reigns defeated The Bloodline in a tag match. However, the tables turned at Crown Jewel, where Sikoa and the New Bloodline scored a victory over Reigns and The Usos.

Their paths crossed again at Survivor Series: WarGames, with CM Punk and the reformed OG Bloodline emerging victorious over Bronson Reed and the remnants of the Bloodline faction. This has set the stage for what promises to be a grueling Tribal Combat match, symbolizing the fight for leadership within the Bloodline’s storied legacy.

Star-Studded Premiere Episode

The January 6th premiere of WWE Raw on Netflix is shaping up to be a must-see event. In addition to the Reigns-Sikoa headliner, WWE has advertised appearances from top names like Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, and John Cena. Reports indicate that Seth Rollins and Punk are expected to face off in another marquee matchup, with WWE stacking the card to make this debut episode an unforgettable experience.
