The WWE landscape completely changed in one night with Roman Reigns’ grand comeback at SummerSlam 2024. However, fans were intrigued to notice a new nickname all over Reigns’s new T-shirt, and now it has been decoded to its meaning.
The main event of WWE SummerSlam featured Cody Rhodes defending his Undisputed WWE Title against the leader of the new Bloodline, Solo Sikoa. The match was contested under Bloodline Rules. It was a hard-hitting and intensely physical bout, but towards the closing moments, multiple WWE superstars interfered.
He realised WWE shows were getting boring so he decided to come back and save the company once again.

The Bloodline members, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, came to attack Cody Rhodes, only for him to have backup in the form of Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. Following that, Jacob Fatu emerged and laid a beatdown on Rhodes. As it looked like Solo was going to close in on the win and win the Undisputed WWE Title, the music hit, and the Cleveland Browns Stadium erupted with the arrival of Roman Reigns.
What is Roman Reigns’ new nickname upon returning to WWE at SummerSlam 2024?
As Reigns walked down the aisle toward the ring, fans noticed him donning a new T-shirt bearing the initials “OTC”, leaving them wondering what it could mean. He later revealed his new nickname “, Original Tribal Chief.” WWE had been discussing the idea of addressing him with the name and finally pulled the trigger.
As the ending ended, Roman Reigns returned to take down his former Enforcer and the man trying to take his spot for months, Solo Sikoa. Reigns’ attack on Solo helped Cody Rhodes retain the Undisputed WWE Title. They had a brief staredown with Rhodes, possibly meaning they could meet down the road.
Roman Reigns generated $800,000 revenue for WWE within 2 hours of his WWE return at SummerSlam 2024.
Soon after Roman made his return, WWE announced a new custom merchandise for sale. It was a #RomanReigns championship belt.

But now, as the Original Tribal Chief is back, it is clear that a Bloodline Civil War is the horizon as Solo Sikoa’s nightmares have indeed come true.
