On the October 6th episode of WWE Raw, Roman Reigns WWE Brawl took center stage during a fierce confrontation in Dallas. Roman Reigns, known as The Tribal Chief, ignited the show with his strong entrance before being interrupted by Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman of The Vision, setting the tone for a violent encounter.
Paul Heyman introduced Reed to the Dallas crowd as their ‘Tribal Thief’ and referenced Reigns’ stretcher incident at WWE Clash in Paris. Reed responded by reminding everyone that some members of Reigns’ family had never been carried out on a stretcher. The exchange quickly escalated when the Hall of Famer challenged Reigns to an Australian Street Fight at Crown Jewel 2025, which Reigns accepted without hesitation, sparking a chaotic brawl at ringside.
The segment concluded with The Tribal Chief asserting his dominance, delivering several devastating ‘Superman punches’ to Bronson Reed, solidifying his status in front of the lively Dallas audience.
WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash Shares His Thoughts on Roman Reigns
During a recent episode of the podcast Kliq This!, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash, alongside co-host Sean Oliver, addressed a fan’s question about whether Roman Reigns is overrated as a performer. Their candid discussion highlighted both Reigns’ charisma and effectiveness as a top-tier talent in WWE.
“I’m not.” Kevin Nash
“See, Brit, here’s the thing, man. It’s all about how someone’s being used or underused. I’ll say this: let’s wait and see where this Uso thing goes.” Sean Oliver
“To me, man, when he comes out, there’s a charisma and a star quality to him that’s another step above everybody else.” Kevin Nash
“Yeah, I always liked that. You know, there’s a thing, again, this is from my era, and what I used to watch, when a guy looks like a wrestler to me, there’s some instant credibility that happens. Then further, if they can actually work, if they’re a good character… Now, sometimes the character is given to them, but if they can manifest the character and keep it interesting, I think I’m okay with Roman on all those. Have there been better? Of course, there have been better.” Sean Oliver
“He checks all the boxes.” Kevin Nash
“But right now, I’d rather see him working at the top than some of the people who have been main eventing on RAW.” Sean Oliver
“And he’s bigger, you know, he’s bigger than the other three or four guys that are in that top spot.” Kevin Nash
Both Nash and Oliver emphasized Roman Reigns’ unique presence and star power, indicating that despite debate around his standing, he remains a commanding figure in WWE’s current landscape.
