Roman Reigns Finally Spotted For First Time Since WWE Clash In Paris
Roman Reigns has been spotted amid time away from the squared circle.
The Original Tribal Chief was last seen wrestling at Clash in Paris PLE against Bronson Reed in a singles match.
The duo had been at each other’s crosshairs for several weeks, with the latter dubbing himself as the ‘Original Tribal Thief’ after stealing Reigns’ shoes on multiple occasions, but not before inflicting a beatdown.
At the Paris event, Reigns and Reed opened the show in a hard-fought match, with Reigns winning clean after hitting a Spear on his Australian opponent.
However, while celebrating, the 40-year-old was speared twice by Reed’s associate Bron Breakker.
It was followed by three Tsunamis from Reed, effectively writing off Roman Reigns from the storyline.
What was supposed to be a joyous occasion turned out to be an agonizing few minutes for the former Undisputed WWE Champion, as he was stretchered out from the arena.
In the subsequent weeks, chants of “OTC” have been heard at multiple RAW events, but Reigns has continued to remain absent.

In the midst of his absence, he was pictured in Australia, as evidenced by a post shared on X.
Reigns is thousands of miles away from the United States, filming for his upcoming film, Street Fighter. He stars as Akuma, an alternative boss in the Street Fighter series.
He is pictured with the film’s director, Kitao Sakurai.
