Have an interesting take?

Earlier this year, because of the publicity Reigns had garnered, the NFL expressed an interest in doing business with WWE. This is why the league chose to include the Original Tribal Chief in a unique mode of their game. But hasn’t the WWE prohibited these practices for years? Surely, lending a key character of your product in other sports franchises could prove detrimental. Well, that was the thinking under Vince McMahon’s reigns. However, we all know that now we operate under Triple H’s era and fresh developments have become more common now.

It appears like Triple H has found a way to make the best out of both worlds as he made a deal with the popular video game franchise: Madden NFL 2024. The popular video game continues to bring strong sales figures possibly due to the addition of the Original Tribal Chief’s presence. The Stamford-based promotion broke barriers by using Reigns as a promotional tool on the back of Night 1 and 2 of WrestleMania 40.
