Roman Reigns has established himself as the apex champion of the WWE. He has defended his title several times and is the fourth-longest-reigning WWE champion. The Tribal Chief’s camp dominated the entire locker during its incredible run and still appears to be going strong despite rebellions from The Usos. One of the key aspects of the stable is how The Bloodline members pay their respect and acknowledge Roman Reigns using the famous ‘the ones’ hand sign.

The sign has become very popular, and almost the entire arenas acknowledge Reigns along with Bloodline members. In fact, Reigns’ dominance and popularity have crossed the confines of rivalry. According to recent news, several pro wrestlers from Tony Khan’s AEW acknowledged Reigns’ Bloodline. 

The AEW Dynamite episode aired the previous week saw the disbanding of The Jericho Appreciation Society. All the society members walked out on Jericho and left him alone. However, AEW star Daniel Garcia unexpectedly paid tribute to Roman Reigns in the latest iteration of Sammy Guevara‘s vlog.

Guevara, Jack Perry, and Isiah Kassidy followed Garcia, who raised their fingers in the air to acknowledge the Tribal Chief. Garcia was asked what the ‘one’ indicated by his finger was for, to which he said, “The Bloodline.” The AEW and the WWE have always had a very thick line between them, but it appears to have been crossed.

The Jericho Appreciation Society (JAS) was formed and led by Chris Jericho. The former WWE superstar switched companies in 2018 after a 19-year career in WWE. He shaped The Jericho Appreciation Society as a heel outfit and recruited notable AEW stars. However, Jericho was deserted by all the members of the group.

However, they did not stop there and paid their respects to Tribal Chief Roman Reigns. This cross-company action has plunged like a dagger into the heart of AEW CEO Tony Khan as it is possible the moment may be unscripted.

WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H and Khan have indirectly engaged in several online feuds. However, this action by some of the most notable names has piqued the fan interest in their rivalry once again but this time the scales have been tipped in WWE and Roman Reigns’ favor.
