Roman Reigns Seemingly Confirms Major Character Shift After WWE RAW (Video)

Roman Reigns’ WWE persona has seemingly undergone a significant shift.

Since returning from his post-WrestleMania 40 hiatus and during his feud with Solo Sikoa, The Original Tribal Chief has shown signs of leaning more toward a babyface persona despite retaining several of his heel traits. However, his most recent comeback feels noticeably different, signaling a potential shift in character direction for the former Undisputed WWE Champion.

Last night on RAW, Reigns had a heated confrontation with Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. It ended in a fight where Jey Uso came to his aid. After the show went off the air, the 40-year-old continued the celebrations with his cousin in the ring, even Yeeting with the crowd in a rare moment.

Meanwhile, the most significant sign of Reigns’ character shift came after he left the ring as he went to greet fans and slap hands with them. He also exchanged words with some of them, seemingly confirming a full babyface turn.

Roman Reigns Turned Down Paul Heyman’s Offer On WWE RAW

During their confrontation on RAW, Paul Heyman shockingly offered Roman Reigns leadership of his new faction, pointing out that Seth Rollins will be absent for a long time.

So that you know, Seth Rollins is gonna be out of action for a long, long time. And that opens up a leadership void over here, which means, if you think about it, we can fix this. We can put this back together and look who and what comes along with me. Because you know deep in your heart we’re far better together than opposing each other. You’ll always be my family because I love you, my Tribal Chief.

The Original Tribal Chief instantly turned down the offer.
