We are just hours away from WWE’s one of the most anticipated Premium Live Events of the year. Fans will be witnessing the 2024 Royal Rumble at the Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg and across the globe. One of the most anticipated fights of the evening will be Roman Reigns’ title defense against LA Knight, Randy Orton, & AJ Styles. Just hours after receiving support from a cousin, Umaga’s son decided to acknowledge the presence of the Tribal Chief.
Roman Reigns is the Tribal Chief of everyone
Pro wrestler and legendary Umaga’s son, Zilla Fatu took to the social media platform, X (formerly Twitter) to show support for his Ucey ahead of his big title defense. He used two emojis that according to him might be the result of tonight’s Fatal-4-Way match. Fatu had sent a message by using a thumbs-down emoji along with a finger pointing upwards emoji.

He had originally replied to Reigns’ post on X that stated, “We stackin bodies tonight.” While the thumbs-down emoji is obviously for the Tribal Chief’s opponents, the finger pointing upwards has been commonly used in the WWE community to acknowledge the presence of Roman Reigns.
Reigns has completed more than three years as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. This would mark the first time he will be defending his title in a fatal-4-way match against Randy Orton, AJ Styles, & LA Knight. His last title defense was at the 2023 Crown Jewel against LA Knight which he was successful at.
However, the question remains, will fans get to see a different Reigns tonight?
Who will be the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion?
Roman Reigns and the Bloodline are infamous for frequently interrupting matches, particularly those involving Roman Reigns himself. However, a shift in the air is noticeable tonight. In recent weeks, fans have observed a more intense side to Reigns. Adding to the intrigue, SmackDown’s General Manager, Nick Aldis, and other officials might enforce strict rules against match interruptions tonight, given the ongoing tension between Aldis and Reigns.

With no outside help available, there’s a possibility that fans will witness the return of the fierce Roman Reigns of old. Fans have expressed frustration with interference from Uso or Sikoa during Reigns’ title defenses. Tonight’s circumstances could pave the way for the resurgence of the formidable Reigns that fans have been yearning for. If Reigns manages to overcome all three opponents tonight, it would solidify his status as a formidable force for anyone daring to challenge him at WrestleMania 40. The question remains: Will we get a new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion tonight? Let us know in the comments below.
