Roman Reigns has long been the dominant figure in WWE, embodying the promotion both inside and outside the ring. However, Trick Williams, a rising star, is now openly challenging The Original Tribal Chief for supremacy, aiming to become the new face of WWE in the near future. This declaration marks a significant moment in the Roman Reigns WWE face battle.
Williams has already made his mark in WWE’s developmental territory and recently solidified his status by capturing the TNA World Championship from Joe Hendry at <a href="https://cynicaltimes.org/category/wwe/nxt/”>WWE NXT Battleground in May 2025. This victory enhanced his reputation and showcased his readiness to compete at the highest level.
During an interview on Going Ringside, the multi-title holder was asked about his dream match opponents, and he named Booker T alongside Roman Reigns. Williams emphasized his desire to face the very best in the wrestling world, underscoring his ambition to rise to the top.
“I do. If I want to be the best in the business, I have to go against the best, and right now, today, it’s Roman Reigns,” Williams said. —Going Ringside
The 31-year-old wrestler further expressed confidence in his quest to become WWE’s main star, revealing his determination to not just face Reigns but to surpass him and lead the company. His goal is clear: to become the man who defines WWE’s future.
“He’s one of the greatest of all time. When me and Roman Reigns lock up, he’s going to have to put me down for me to stay down because I will not back down and I will not stop fighting. I want nothing more than to be the man here at WWE, and I’ll do whatever it takes to take that dub,” Williams said. —Going Ringside
Roman Reigns’ Upcoming Matches and Potential WWE Clash in Paris
Roman Reigns currently has unresolved issues with Seth Rollins and The Vision on Monday Night RAW. Despite this, another storyline has developed with Bronson Reed, who has taunted Reigns by stealing his custom sneakers and adopting the moniker “The Tribal Thief,” complete with a distinctive Shoe-La-Fala necklace.
Reports indicate that Reigns is unlikely to begin filming for the live-action Street Fighter adaptation until September 2025, which could free him up to participate in WWE Clash in Paris 2025. This event presents an opportunity for a clash between Reigns and Bronson Reed, a matchup that fans are eagerly anticipating.
The future of Roman Reigns in WWE remains full of possibilities, especially as new contenders like Trick Williams rise and challenge his position. How these rivalries will develop in the coming months will significantly shape the WWE landscape.
