Roman Reigns, known as the Tribal Chief and one of WWE’s most dominant champions, recently addressed the impact of Bron Breakker’s spear during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. While Breakker has made a name for himself with his powerful and fast spear, Reigns dismissed the move as lacking true artistry, positioning himself as a more sophisticated performer. This exchange highlights the ongoing comparison between a rising star and an established megastar, emphasizing the dynamics of WWE’s evolving talent pool.
Reigns’ WWE journey began in 2012 when he debuted alongside Seth Rollins and Jon Moxley, then known as Dean Ambrose. Despite initial resistance from fans due to his perceived flaws and unpolished promos, Reigns steadily earned respect and cemented his legacy with a notably long championship reign. Now recognized as WWE’s top star, his perspective on in-ring moves like Bron Breakker’s spear reflects his confidence in his unique style.
“I’m such a different type of performer. I’m on a whole different level. Bro, come on now. You’re talking to Mozart here. I create real art. It’s not just about running down a ramp and flying through the air and hitting somebody.”

Reigns revealed his desire to cast a “mountain so big” as his legacy that his children will find it difficult to step out from under his shadow. He believes that generating adversity through his success will help prepare them for life, pushing them to navigate challenges despite their advantages.
“I have four sons, my daughter, she’s just entering adulthood. I wanna continue to create a shadow, a mountain so big they’ll never get out of my shadow. I wanna make it tough for them, because they’re privileged children. We have to create obstacles, we have to create this adversity for them. And why not do it through my success?”
