(Solo's entrance music) This is the battle for Tribal Chief. ♪ Will not take that loss ♪ ♪ We're taking it all ♪ ♪ We kick down the door ♪ ♪ Dropping you down to the floor ♪ ♪ We're taking it all ♪ ♪ Ready for war ♪ Around the neck of Solo Sikoa is the Ula Fala. However, it was never bestowed on him by his family. It was once held by Roman Reigns. But after Reigns lost to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania Solo Sikoa took over and formed a new Bloodline. And he stole the Ula Fala. Which is a handcrafted Samoan reef.
The red color is reserved for royalty. Only the High Chief is allowed to wear the Ula Fala. And Pat, that is what this is about tonight. Tribal Combat for the Ula Fala. Sola Sikoa has done a great job hijacking this thing and running with it. Our Tribal Chief's about to walk out here. (dramatic music) (crowd cheers)
(Pat chuckles) (Roman's entrance music) (crowd cheers) (pyro booms) Accompanied by his wiseman Paul Heyman. You are looking at one of the all time greats in sports entertainment history. A six-time World Champion. Before losing at WrestleMania Roman Reigns was a World Champion for 1,316 days. Only three men in the history of our business have held a World Title longer. And their names are etched in history.
Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund, Hulk Hogan. And over that reign, Pat McAfee, Roman Reigns retained the championship an unbelievable 30 times. And it is for those reasons that all these ones are pointing to the sky as all of Los Angeles acknowledges our Tribal Chief. And for some reason, your dumbass is sitting down. Not anymore! Flanked by Paul Heyman. Greatest manager in the history of this business. Billions at the box office under his leadership and council.
A pair that has been unstoppable. For the first time ever Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa will go one-on-one. (crowd cheers) (pyro booming) (crowd cheers) Side eyeing Solo Sikoa. Our Tribal Chief has arrived. (bell rings) The following contest is scheduled for one fall and will be contested under Tribal Combat rules. (crowd applauds) Introducing first from Las Vegas, Nevada weighing in at 250 pounds Solo Sikoa! (crowd boos)
And- (crowd cheers) Ladies and gentlemen, (crowd cheers) my name is Paul Heyman. Introducing from the Island of Relevancy the reigning, defending, soon to be undisputed OTC Roman Reigns! (crowd cheers) Heyman will present the Ula Fala to the winner of this matchup. Solo Sikoa says if he loses, he will acknowledge Roman Reigns as the head of the table.
However, Solo says, "If I win, Roman will acknowledge me." And Paul Heyman will become Solo Sikoa's guy. For the first time ever. Roman versus Solo live on Netflix. This is Tribal Combat. There are no rules. You win via pinfall or submission. And the winner becomes the Tribal Chief. Reigns face-to face with his cousin Solo Sikoa. Remember, Pat, Roman Reigns trained Solo Sikoa for this moment. Trained to become Tribal Chief until Roman was ready to step down.
Solo didn't wanna wait. Solo, hit a lick, went to the top of The Bloodline, and has been running with it. And here we go. Collar And Elbow Tie-up to start this matchup off here tonight. If you're a young superstar like Solo Sikoa, who doesn't have a lot of experience in main event matches, Pat, how does he react to being the first match in this historic night on Netflix? I mean he just followed in Roman Reigns' footsteps. Roman Reigns is considered one of the greatest of all time, if not the greatest of all time. And Solo Sikoa's just stepped in his shoes.
I think he's ready for the big moment. At least he thinks he is. The OTC chants. The Original Tribal Chief ringing throughout the Intuit Dome here in Los Angeles tonight. And the Uso's younger brother Solo Sikoa dumped out of the ring. He was a loner when he first arrived on the scene in WWE, known as a street warrior. And then he brought in these quote, "Band of animals," and formed this new Bloodline which has taken over the WWE. Yeah, they're certainly dangerous. A formidable bunch. They've been running roughshod everywhere. This is Roman Reigns first one-on-one matchup since he faced Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania.
Will that come into play tonight? This is kind of how it goes. The younger generation thinks they're better than the older generation always in everything. Oh, bang! And Roman Reigns bounced right off our brand new announce table. Gonna get a workout, I believe here tonight in Tribal Combat. Who's the Tribal Chief now, Roman? Huh? No rules here. Solo Sikoa taking advantage of it. Street fighter. He's willing to do whatever. Oh! And a big Clothesline by Sikoa to Roman Reigns.
What does this mean for the career of Solo Sikoa, Pat, if he can knock off Roman Reigns here tonight? Biggest night in the history of professional wrestling. Earning the Ula Fala. Paul Heyman becomes your wiseman. You cement yourself as the Tribal Chief. You're on top of the world. Some people have said that Solo Sikoa has been a better leader of The Bloodline than Roman Reigns ever was. That he's checked his ego at the door, that he's allowed the likes of Tonga Loa, and Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu, ooh, to be on almost equal footing.
Treating them well. When Roman was running The Bloodline they were dripped in gold, brother. It's a little different now. Roman Reigns firing back. Roman lifted the entire family up. To the top floor. Among those people that Roman Reigns defeated while retaining his championship. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Names like Brock Lesnar, and Goldberg, John Cena, Edge, Rey Mysterio, Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes. Oh! And there's the quickness now of Solo Sikoa.
Roman took a bit too much time and Solo took over. (Roman yells) Bang! What a collision. Timed up a forearm, and Roman was able to answer right back. Yeah, big boot will drop Solo Sikoa outside the ring. Speaking of boots, Roman Reigns' Nikes are some of the nicest shoes I've ever seen. Nicest boots I've ever seen. Right. They came out here to do some ass kicking.
Only you would see that. Oh no! And a Spinning Solo! A Uranage right on the announce table! Roman Reigns driven into the announce table by Solo Sikoa. Holy hell. Let me get this outta your way, OTC. That's what I'm trying to do. Solo Sikoa's looking to do more damage. Oh no, no, no, no. Not with a monitor!
Roman turn around! Turn around, Roman. Bang! Right off the skull. And Roman Reigns collapsing at my feet. And Solo Sikoa celebrating here on the announce table. Tribal Combat means no rules. Solo's enjoying the hell out of that. I gotta get the hell out of here. Monitor to the face of the OTC. Solo's in complete control. I'd love to get a shot of the face of Paul Heyman when we can, because Paul is nervous as hell realizing that he may be the wiseman for Solo Sikoa sooner rather than later.
Solo beating the hell outta these stairs. Get yo ass up, Roman! Get up! (stairs clatter) It's gonna be one of those nights, Pat. Feels like it. Roman Reigns is the target of some hundred plus pound stairs. And the steps right into Reigns. Driving him to the floor. Solo Sikoa is dominating Tribal Combat. Solo Sikoa is in possession of the Ula Fala as we speak. Even though he didn't, it wasn't bestowed upon him by the elders like it was Roman Reigns.
Yeah, kind of stole it. But act like you're the guy if you got it. And Solo's definitely been doing that. He's used a monitor, he's used our desk. Now he's looking to use a chair on Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns I don't think was expecting this type of assault by the street fighter. Oh! Right to the midsection. Solo knows Roman inside and out. Oh! Thunderous shot with the chair. Over 17,000 plus here tonight at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. As Solo Sikoa looks to wear out Roman Reigns.
Make no mistake about it. That he's the Tribal Chief, that he runs The Bloodline, that he carries the family. Shohei Ohtani-ing that chair off of Roman Reigns here in Los Angeles. I prefer Juan Soto-ing, but I get it. We're in LA. It's not too late to stop this. You understand me? It is very apparent that every human being in here hates Solo Sikoa. Any chance they get, they tell him that he sucks. I gave you everything. You understand me? (Solo grunts) I loved you! I always loved you!
(Solo grunts) Who's that sound like? About to take your ass out for good. Get up. Get yo punk ass up. Oh, no, No, no, no, no. Solo and company have taken out many superstars with this move. Looking to break the neck of Roman Reigns. Perhaps end Roman Reigns' career in front of his longtime advocate Paul Heyman. Sikoa could be moments away from ruling the world as the Tribal Chief. He's looking to end this thing. And Roman moves outta harm's way. And can Roman Reigns rally?
I think that was some sophistication from Roman Reigns. Baited him into it. Can he take advantage of the momentum swing here? OTC! And now Roman Reigns using the steel chair to his advantage. Perfectly legal under Tribal Combat rules. This is just the second time in WWE history we've had a Tribal Combat match. And Reigns won the first one, and could be on his way to winning this one too.
Making Solo pay for his sins. For betraying Reigns, for stabbing him in the back, for betraying and turning his back on the family. We want tables! I think Roman said, "You're gonna wait for that a little bit, because I still have more damage to do Solo." Well that might've ended his career. Con-chair-to attempt from Roman Reigns. Oh and a low blow. Completely legal by Sikoa.
(crowd booing) And now Solo with a Spinning Solo on the steel chair. Cover to win this matchup. Reigns kicks at two. This is Tribal Combat. And Solo Sikoa's thinking dangerous. (crowd cheers) Tables are legal. And Reigns now, Drive By! A Drive By Roman Reigns buys himself some time here, Pat. Absolutely. Catch a breath. Reigns still suffering from the low blow moments go by Sikoa.
Looking at Roman, this man is chiseled like a statue. Maybe in the greatest shape I've ever seen a human being. Back like a barn door. It's funny watching Roman not quite sure how to react to the support of the WWE fans here tonight. And Roman Reigns now and Sikoa with a Kendo stick! Off the face of Roman Reigns. And Pat, I know you've been hit by that.
What does that feel like? Yeah, Kendo sticks obviously do not budge. Bamboo to forehead is what Roman just felt. And Solo, you know, kind of baited him there. Gathered his thoughts, gathered a kendo stick, waited for the Tribal Chief to come over, and then- Ooh! Wails on him. And again a public flogging of Roman Reigns here tonight on Monday Night RAW. Bang! Tell him to give up! You understand me? (crowd boos) Solo Sikoa nothing short of impressive here. Heyman's like, "That guy might be my boss."
You understand me? You get The Bloodline, you get the Ula Fala. You should acknowledge me! I loved you! But you didn't love me. You never loved me. Huh? Oh, no matter what I did to prove you my love. Tell me, Roman! Wait a minute. Is Solo letting his emotions get the better of him tonight? Roman Reigns trying to, trying to take advantage now. Trying to power out of this. Solo not ready for the moment. Roman Reigns powering up.
Last Ride through the table! Roman's gonna win this damn thing. Bring back the Ula Fala. Wait a minute! Chad Patton ripped out of the ring by Tama Tonga. One of those quote "animals" that Paul Heyman described them as. Part of Solo Sikoa's new Bloodline. Where the hell did he come from? Popped up out of nowhere! The son of one of the most vicious men in professional wrestling history Haku. And Tonga now staring down Reigns. And that is what Roman Reigns has to face tonight.
This vicious new Bloodline, Pat! Pat, Pat, Pat! Oh, my God! The Samoan Werewolf! Jacob Fatu! One of the craziest SOBs you'll ever see in WWE. Oh! Fatu and Tonga are destroying Roman Reigns. Completely legal. Pat, a man shouldn't move like Jacob Fatu. Look at that Moonsault. Completely insane. Jacob Fatu loves Solo Sikoa. And he might've won this match for him right here, right now. And Sikoa now looking to put Reigns away with a devastating Samoan Spike to Roman Reigns.
Ula Fala is gonna stay with the new Bloodline. Reigns kicks out at two! (crowd cheering) I have no idea how he kicked out of that. Chad, get the hell out of the ring. All you gotta do is count a one, two, three or submission. Don't stand in the way of that madman. Madmen. Oh no, a spike to Chad Patton! What the hell is wrong with you? This guy doesn't care about nothing. Ruthless. Well, he's gonna care when he doesn't have anybody to count the one, two, three on Reigns. As Solo looks for yet another Samoan Spike
on the original Tribal Chief. (Sami's entrance music) (crowd cheers) Backup's on the way! Sami Zayn, Jimmy Uso. Uso the cousin of Roman Reigns. Sami Zayn the honorary Uce. (Jimmy grunting) These men met inside the War Games cage back at Survivor Series. Jimmy ducks the- And a Superkick to his younger brother Solo. Helluva Kick! (crowd applauds) Spear! For the win! No official. We need one. Here's the count. And a kickout.
(crowd booing) Sami and Jimmy! This ladies and gentlemen, is what World Wrestling Entertainment is all about. Kevin Owens! Stunner! KO for four years battled Roman Reigns with The Bloodline. It's lead to his story with Cody Rhodes. Sikoa for the win, to beat Reigns. Roman kicks out again.
Kevin Owens coming out here and getting involved is despicable. The fact that Cody Rhodes teamed with Roman Reigns a few months ago sent Kevin Owens off the deep end after everything Roman Reigns put Kevin Owens- (Cody's entrance music) He was looking for that Piledriver. But here comes the American Nightmare! These two meet in a Ladder Match for the WWE Championship in three weeks at the Royal Rumble. Cody Cutter! In dress shoes and a vest. That's why he's our champion. And now fighting up into the WWE universe.
The fans here in Los Angeles. High drama, high emotion. Went for the Superman Punch. Solo Sikoa intercepted. Went for the Spike. Spear! (crowd cheers) Listen to this place! Ooh-ah! Spear! Cover! One, two, three! (crowd cheers) Reigns wins Tribal Combat. Here is your winner The OTC, the only Tribal Chief Roman Reigns!
(Roman's entrance music) A seemingly relieved Paul Heyman has made his way into the ring. And the original Tribal Chief Roman Reigns is once again in possession of the Ula Fala. (crowd cheers) Wait a minute. We told the story at the beginning of the night of that man, The Rock, known as the High Chief Seiuli.
That was an honor bestowed upon him by his Highness. And tonight The Rock marches to the ring. Can I have the honor? Thank you. (crowd chattering) (crowd cheers) OTC! (crowd oohs) (fan screams) (crowd applauds) I love you. I love you too. (fan screams) The Roman Empire (Roman's entrance music) is back.
