#5. Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes vs. The New Bloodline

After Roman Reigns lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania, he went on a hiatus. During Reigns’ absence, Solo Sikoa took over The Bloodline as the leader and started calling himself The Tribal Chief. He brought in Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu to his New Bloodline.

Reigns made a blockbuster return at SummerSlam 2024 and went after Sikoa. To counter the heel group, the OTC had to join forces with The American Nightmare. The two were set to team up to take on Sikoa and Fatu at Bad Blood.

On the September 13, 2024, episode of SmackDown, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes came face-to-face for a contract signing ahead of their match at the PLE. After a verbal back-and-forth between them, the situation took a turn when Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa attacked both stars before they could sign the contract. However, Reigns and Rhodes eventually got the upper hand. The segment eventually concluded with both men signing the contract.

#4. The OTC – The Beast Incarnate

Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar came face-to-face on the February 25, 2022, episode of SmackDown for a contract signing ahead of their title unification match at WrestleMania 38. With both the Universal Championship and the WWE Championship on the line, the segment carried significant stakes.

The OTC made his presence felt immediately, reminding everyone of his dominance and even calling for security to surround the ring, claiming it was to protect Brock Lesnar from him. The Conqueror wasn’t worried, as he signed the contract, confidently stating that he would walk out of The Show of Shows as the Undisputed WWE Champion.

Reigns responded with a memorable promo, claiming that he owned everything in WWE, from the production crew to the audience in attendance. It turned out that even the security team was working for the OTC. However, Lesnar snapped and took out all the guards. The segment ended with Brock Lesnar standing tall in the ring after forcing Roman Reigns and The Bloodline to retreat.

#3. Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins

Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins have years of history between them, and their rivalry heading into WrestleMania intensified after the 2025 Royal Rumble, where Punk eliminated both men to set the stage for a Triple Threat Match.

The three stars were involved in a contract signing on the March 28, 2025, episode of SmackDown. The Visionary and the OTC opened the segment, with Rollins reminding Reigns of their history. The Head of the Table quickly shut down his former Shield stablemate, claiming that their partnership ended years ago.

Rollins didn’t want Punk in the main event of WrestleMania, which is exactly what happened. Reigns took credit for The Second City Saint main eventing The Show of Shows for the first time and asked Punk to acknowledge him. The Best in the World sarcastically complied, signed the contract, and reminded everyone that he was still owed a favor from Paul Heyman for teaming up with the OG Bloodline at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.

#2. vs. Drew McIntyre

Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre came face-to-face on the November 20, 2020, episode of SmackDown for a contract signing ahead of their Champion vs. Champion match at Survivor Series. The segment took place inside the ThunderDome during the pandemic, with no live crowd in attendance.

The Scottish Warrior made it clear that he wasn’t there to waste time or flip tables. He stated that he won the WWE Championship for himself, signed the contract, and told Reigns to prepare for war.

That said, Reigns took a different approach. The Tribal Chief reminded McIntyre that he was the one who gave advice and used the moment to assert his dominance. He labeled Drew as a secondary champion and positioned himself as the true face of WWE.

Reigns then signed the contract and ended the segment by telling McIntyre that he would always be his favorite “number two.”

#1. Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu make their Backlash match official

Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu came face-to-face on the May 4, 2026, episode of RAW for a contract signing ahead of their World Heavyweight Championship match at Backlash.

The Tribal Chief claimed that he was the reason Jacob Fatu got his opportunity and demanded respect. Fatu fired back by making it clear that he was desperate and willing to do anything to change his situation. The Samoan Werewolf stated that he wasn’t just after the title, but everything that came with it, even if it meant going through his own blood.

Reigns signed the contract and continued to assert his dominance, telling Fatu that he was beneath him inside the ring. The segment ended in chaos as Fatu finally took the OTC down with the Tongan D*ath Grip, signed the contract, and stood tall heading into the Tampa PLE.
