Ever since The Tribal Chief made his return to SmackDown, fans have been speculating a title bout soon. And what excited the fans even more was LA Knight sharing the ring with Roman Reigns for the first time ever. Not only that, Roman Reigns also came face to face with his ex-arch nemesis Cody Rhodes. But as speculations ran rife, Reigns went ahead and sent out a warning to a future challenger of his on Twitter.
Royal Rumble takes place in January and Reigns is all ready to unleash his wrath on his opponent.

Roman Reigns made his return on the season premiere of SmackDown last week to deafening cheers. Fans lost their collective minds when Reigns said, “Acknowledge me!” at the BOK Center in Tulsa. But that was followed by LA Knight confronting Reigns which fans had been praying for ages.
Knight in his typical blabbermouth style humiliated the entirety of The Bloodline. That didn’t go down well with Reigns as towards the end of SmackDown, he speared Knight after his match against Solo Sikoa. So fans are eagerly awaiting to see what will be Knight’s response to that sneaky attack.
Fans are hoping that this is the start of a dream feud between Knight and Reigns which will culminate in a title match at Crown Jewel. But then again, Reigns went head-on with Cody Rhodes implying that he wants to lock horns with him too. Does that mean that Roman Reigns will defend his title against Cody Rhodes at Survivor Series? Only time will tell.
But just yesterday, WWE announced on X that the tickets for Royal Rumble are on sale. This was then retweeted by The Tribal Chief who pompously challenged the winner of the Royal Rumble. He said, “Win the Rumble and get a round trip to the Island of Relevancy”. Thus implying that the winner of the Royal Rumble doesn’t stand a chance against him but this opportunity will put that wrestler on the relevancy radar.
