Watch: Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman Feature in NBCUniversal’s First Commercial for the Upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics – “Can’t Miss This”

Roman Reigns’ influence now goes beyond the WWE. The Tribal Chief and his special counsel, Paul Heyman, are now featured in NBC’s first commercial for their coverage of the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics. At Night of Champions, Roman Reigns hit the 1000-day mark as the Universal Champion. The hype around Reigns’ legendary accomplishment has led to his perpetual success and growing popularity.

While it’s an amazing honor for Roman Reigns to be featured in the “Save The Date” ad campaign, let’s not forget that WWE has many talents that have previously competed in the Olympics. In fact, Kurt Angle won an Olympic Gold Medal with a broken freakin’ neck in 1996. But what is the significance of Roman Reigns’ involvement?

The Paris Olympics is going to commence from July 26 to August 11, 2024. The event will be broadcasted on NBCUniversal’s Peacock, which is also the home of WWE live streaming. Roman Reigns’ addition to the ad will certainly draw many viewers to Peacock, as he is the hottest brand in WWE today.

Taking to Instagram, Roman Reigns shared the video clip of the ad campaign. The Head of the Table captioned it- “Can’t miss this!”

The promotional video featured famed American singer, Dolly Parton expressing her excitement for the 2024 Paris Olympics. In addition, Kevin from the Minions franchise was also a part of the “Save The Date” ad.

Paul Heyman is seen seated behind his Tribal Chief, bragging about Roman Reigns’ willingness to defend his WWE Championship against anybody, anytime, and any place. Heyman then stood corrected when Reigns added a little more detail saying, “Except July”.

It’s safe to bet that Roman Reigns has entered God Mode after proving to be tenacious with his World Title reign. To celebrate his historic achievement, WWE presented him with a brand new WWE Undisputed Universal Championship a few weeks ago.

Talking about the Olympics and pro wrestling, did you know that Vince McMahon made Kurt Angle wear 25 Olympic gold medals to the ring during his rookie years?

Kurt Angle built his legacy by boasting about his Olympic success in WWE. Wearing multiple gold medals was a regular part of Kurt Angle’s in-ring attire in his rookie years in WWE. However, it was not his idea.

While speaking on The Kurt Angle Show, The Olympic Hero revealed that Vince McMahon instructed him to wear 25 gold medals around his neck to seem obsessed with winning. According to him, McMahon wanted Angle to get into the role of a relentless champion by wearing many gold medals around his neck.

He said, What Vince McMahon told me was that it is your rookie year, we’re gonna have you win every title because the more titles you win, the more obsessed you become. That’s why he wanted me to start out with 25 medals around my neck and not just one.”

Nevertheless, Kurt Angle had a great run in the WWE in his rookie year. A year later The Wrestling Machine defeated The Rock at No Mercy in 2000 to capture his first-ever WWE Championship title.
