Roman Reigns has an earlier commitment in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl, but he may be wearing one NFL team’s jersey come Sunday.
Reigns arrived in Las Vegas on Wednesday ahead of the WrestleMania Kickoff Press Event going down this Thursday. First to step off the jet was Roman’s counsel, Paul Heyman before Reigns sauntered down, sporting a San Francisco 49ers track jacket. He may be called “The Tribal Chief” but that tribe does not reside in Kansas City.

Reigns may just be a 49ers fan, but at least one 49er is a fan of WWE. During the Super Bowl media days, 49ers tight end George Kittle cut a promo about how he feels about the notorious situation between Cody Rhodes and The Rock. Kittle proposed that The Rock special guest referees the showdown between Rhodes and Reigns, but is excited for the prospect of all that may unfold two months from now in Philadelphia.
(Not Kansas City) Chief Creative Content Officer Triple H caught wind of Kittle’s comments and said “The People’s Tight End knows what’s up…”
The road to WrestleMania continues through Sin City before heading to the City of Brotherly Love and the Kickoff event is a first for this TKO era. The event will go down at the T-Mobile Arena, right across the street from Allegiant Stadium where the Super Bowl will take place. Scheduled to appear at the T-Mobile arena are Reigns and his assumed opponent for WrestleMania, The Rock as well as Rhodes, Triple H, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair and Montez Ford.
