A previously unreleased design for a Roman Reigns-themed WWE title belt has come to light following the superstar’s return to WWE Raw on July 14, 2025. The Roman Reigns Tribal Chief Championship was once considered as a new centerpiece in WWE storylines but was ultimately set aside.
In December 2024, WWE reportedly planned to introduce this Tribal Chief Championship to enhance the narrative between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. Instead of debuting the new belt, the storyline shifted focus to a ceremonial artifact known as the Ula Fala, which became central to their rivalry.
Replica Belt Now Available Following WWE Raw Return
Coinciding with Roman Reigns’ recent appearance on WWE Raw, WWE Shop has made the Tribal Chief Championship Replica Title available for pre-order. Fans can expect shipments to begin no later than October 16, 2025. This replica reflects the scrapped design that was originally intended to be presented to Reigns as part of a Netflix special.
WrestleVotes confirmed that the replica belt matches the design WWE considered but ultimately abandoned in December 2024. Rather than debuting it in competition or as part of a storyline, the belt has been repurposed as a collectible item, priced at $600.
This would have been the title presented to Reigns on Netflix had that decision gone through back in December. Now it’s a commemorative item, priced at a cool $600. https://t.co/A2A3wcHkqw pic.twitter.com/YWGGyLcA5k

Context of Rivalry and Tribal Combat Match Outcome
The storyline between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa culminated in a match under Tribal Combat rules, where Sikoa emerged triumphant.

Roman Reigns’ return signals the continuation of his pivotal role in WWE storylines, while Solo Sikoa’s recent victory sets the stage for evolving tribal leadership themes.
