WWE’s Roman Reigns Reveals Epic Match for Raw’s Netflix Premiere

As a long-time wrestling enthusiast who’s seen more than a few body slams and pile drivers in my day, I can confidently say that the upcoming WWE Raw Netflix premiere is shaping up to be an unmissable event. The Tribal Combat match between Roman Reigns and Sikoa promises to deliver high-octane action, fueled by personal pride and the coveted Ula Fala at stake.

For its upcoming Netflix premiere of Monday Night Raw in January, WWE is leaving no stone unturned. This grand event will feature numerous celebrity cameos and exciting match-ups, but tonight’s SmackDown confirmed one of the main events on the schedule. If you want to make the debut of Monday Night Raw on Netflix as spectacular as possible, you’ll need Roman Reigns, the Tribal Chief, to be included, and now WWE has disclosed his role and who he will battle on that night.

Following an unexpected ambush by Drew McIntyre on Jimmy Uso (who was using crutches due to his fractured toe from WarGames), the spotlight shifted towards Reigns. Reigns directly addressed Sikoa’s statement from last week and issued a challenge to Sikoa, which was aimed for the grand stage of Netflix.

According to Reigns, unlike Sikoa, he did not claim the Ula Fala for himself; instead, his family presented it to him as a sign of faith in his ability to guide them. Sikoa never earned it, and Reigns intends to reclaim it during his debut on Netflix’s Raw in Tribal Combat. Reigns declared, “On January 6th, I will reclaim my Ula Fala. On January 6th, I will reclaim my respect. Once I have that respect, the entire world will be forced to recognize me.

In this contest so far, the Bloodlines stand even at one victory each. Reigns managed to equalize the score during WarGames, with a little help from Paul Heyman’s friend CM Punk. However, the Ula Fala continues to elude Roman. On Raw, Reigns plans to rectify this situation, but if he falls short there, it might be challenging for him to regain it. In fact, an extra condition could potentially be added to this high-profile match, making it even more significant. Additionally, the favor that Heyman owes Punk is something worth considering, and it’s uncertain when that will be called in, but WrestleMania 41 seems like a strong possibility for its redemption.

Due to the recent WarGames match, both teams are dealing with injuries, making it likely that upcoming fights will be one-on-one. Unfortunately for the Usos, Jimmy Uso sustained a toe injury during a high impact move by Jacob Fatu. Meanwhile, Tonga Loa from Sikoa’s team is sidelined due to a torn bicep, and Bronson Reed, who assisted in the WarGames match, also has a broken ankle after taking a similar high impact move.

I’m really hoping everyone recovers swiftly! As for WWE Raw, it seems the Netflix premiere is gearing up to be just as monumental as a top-tier live event, and honestly, it might even surpass most events except for the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania.
