The anticipation for the 2025 Royal Rumble continues to build as Roman Reigns, the Tribal Chief, declared his entry into the match. Paul Heyman, Reigns’ Wise Man, made the announcement during the opening segment of WWE SmackDown. Heyman began by praising Reigns for reclaiming the ula fala from Solo Sikoa.
Heyman then turned his attention to Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, acknowledging that Rhodes had done what few men in the business ever could — earning the respect of Roman Reigns. Heyman revealed that now that Reigns had regained the ula fala, the Tribal Chief’s focus is on reclaiming “his” championship.
To make that happen, Reigns has declared for the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble, joining John Cena and CM Punk, who had also previously confirmed their participation. The stage is set for an intense showdown as the Royal Rumble draws closer.
