Former WWE star EC3 recently spoke about Roman Reigns establishing himself as a major babyface upon his return. The Original Tribal Chief returned at SummerSlam, much to the shock and awe of fans.
He cost Solo Sikoa the title with a devastating Spear. The following week on SmackDown, he destroyed The Bloodline, sending a message that he was ready to reclaim his position at the top of the roster.
This week on The Wrestling Outlaws, EC3 mentioned that Roman Reigns had reached the upper echelon of superstardom in WWE. He felt not every star would reach such great heights and have long title reigns.
He pointed out that Roman made a name for himself by beating his opponents and, at times, completely dominating them.

“Like Roman, I saw the reaction he had in that SmackDown segment. I was like he’s reached the next level, the highest level of over you can reach. But you can’t really get everybody there. Not everyone is gonna have a five-year title reign and tell conclusively great stories with merit through that entire time and have great opponents to not only beat but dominate sometimes.” [From 6:30 onwards]
This week on the blue brand, Roman Reigns looked to reaffirm himself as the true Tribal Chief as he attacked Solo Sikoa.
Roman managed to reclaim the Ula Fala momentarily before Jacob Fatu ambushed him. The Samoan Werewolf drove Reigns into the ringpost. The trio of Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Solo then Powerbombed the former champion into the announcer’s table to close the show.
