3 Reasons why WWE is reportedly planning to introduce a Tribal Chief Championship
Recent reports about The Bloodline Saga in WWE have generated major buzz among fans. For those who might not know, the reports revealed that the company plans to introduce the Tribal Chief Championship at some point during the rivalry between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa.
This makes things interesting, as the inclusion of a new title amid two World Championships is a surprising decision. In this article, we will discuss three reasons why the promotion is reportedly planning to introduce the new Tribal Chief Championship.
#3. To extend The Bloodline Saga for upcoming years
One conceivable reason behind the introduction of this new championship could be to extend The Bloodline saga for the upcoming years in WWE. As of now, the battle between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa circles around the Ula Fala and determining who the rightful holder is.
On the RAW debut show for Netflix, Reigns, and Sikoa will lock horns in a Tribal Combat match for the Ula Fala. After this, if WWE orients the Tribal Chief Championship, it will not only boost the rivalry between both Tribal Chiefs but also set up considerable potential matchups in The Bloodline Saga.
For example, Jacob Fatu could challenge Roman Reigns for the title, primarily if the OTC becomes the champion.
#2. To intensify the feud between Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns
Another reason behind this decision could be to intensify the feud between Sikoa and Reigns. The Ula Fala storyline has already kept fans enthralled in the entire Bloodline saga. However, presenting the Tribal Chief Championship will add a fresh element to this rivalry and intensify the feud between these two.
Now, the question is not just about who is the rightful owner of the Ula Fala, but also about who will be the true holder of the Tribal Chief Championship.
#1. To set up Roman Reigns vs. The Rock for WWE WrestleMania 42
A match between Roman Reigns and The Rock at WrestleMania 41 is unlikely to take place, but The Showcase of the Immortals in 2026 holds a great prospect. One reason WWE might favor introducing the Tribal Chief Championship is to set up a dream showdown between these two Samoans.
It's important to note that The Rock also holds the People's Championship, which he has carried since his villainous turn. So, if the Tribal Chief title is introduced and the Original Tribal Chief holds it, The Rock could return and confront him, claiming himself as the real Tribal Chief.
This could set up a match between Reigns and The Rock for WrestleMania 42, with the stipulation of the People’s Title vs. the Tribal Chief Title.
