WWE to give Roman Reigns massive privilege for the first time in history is possible, says veteran, and it will happen upon his return
Roman Reigns is on a hiatus after losing his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania XL. Upon his return, he might be the beneficiary of the highest salary ever received by a superstar in the company's history, according to a wrestling veteran.
Brock Lesnar is reportedly the highest-paid WWE Superstar, with an annual salary of $12 million. Meanwhile, The Tribal Chief is also among the highest-paid performers, with a reported earning of $5 million yearly. On Straight Talk with The Boss podcast, wrestling veteran Magnum T.A. disclosed that he had heard that Reigns would receive a massive boost in salary upon his return from hiatus.
The 65-year-old claimed the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion would become the highest-paid wrestler in the Stamford-based company's history, exceeding even The Beast Incarnate's salary.
"I heard Roman is gonna have the highest salary of any employee in history when he comes back that his deal was gonna be bigger than Brock's and Brock's was $10 million," he said. [43:49 - 43:59]
Roman Reigns will join forces with Brock Lesnar upon his WWE return, thinks Magnum T.A.
While Roman Reigns has been absent since April, Brock Lesnar last appeared at SummerSlam in August 2023. Magnum T.A. believes the two would return to join forces against The Bloodline after Solo Sikoa's group destroyed Paul Heyman on SmackDown last week.
On Straight Talk with The Boss podcast, the wrestling veteran predicted that The Beast Incarnate and The Tribal Chief would demolish Sikoa and his associates.
"I think The Beast Incarnate is gonna come back. And I think him and Roman Reigns are gonna stomp a mud hole from here to Kalamazoo and back with all them boys. It's gonna be good. [...] I think him and Brock are gonna come back and stomp everybody in sight that's, you know, done the whole deal. Brock Lesnar, I think Brock Lesnar is gonna come back to help defend Paul Heyman against those dastardly guys," he said.
While fans continue to chant "We want Roman" at WWE events, it would be interesting to see when The Tribal Chief does return to the Stamford-based company and also whether Magnum T.A.'s predictions will come true.
