Did Roman Reigns take a shot at The Rock after wearing two Ula Fallas at WWE Clash in Paris 2025?

The OTC beat Bronson Reed at the PLE!

Roman Reigns opened WWE Clash in Paris 2025 in signature fashion, but this time with a twist. The Tribal Chief entered the French capital wearing not one, but two Ula Fallas, his traditional red garland along with a new black version. The sight immediately caught the attention of fans, sparking speculation that it might have been more than just a tribute.

Michael Cole provided clarity during commentary, explaining that the double Ula Falla was Reigns’ way of honoring both his father, Sika, and his uncle, Afa.

Sika passed away just over two months ago, while Afa died last year. Both men were central figures in the Anoa’i dynasty, and their influence helped shape Roman’s run as the Head of the Table.

Roman Reigns wasn’t taking a shot at the Rock

The symbolism behind the Ula Falla runs deep. Nearly five years ago, Afa and Sika themselves placed the garland on Reigns during Hell in a Cell 2020, marking the beginning of his historic Tribal Chief run.

Wearing two garlands in Paris was a way for Roman to recognize the patriarchs who laid the foundation for the Anoa’i family’s dominance in wrestling.

It also added emotional weight to his showdown with Bronson Reed, a rivalry built around a parody called the “Shoe-la-falla.”

Reed mocked Reigns’ heritage in the buildup, and Paul Heyman even referred to him as the “new Tribal Chief” on RAW. By doubling down on the Ula Falla in Paris, Reigns reclaimed the symbolism and reinforced his family’s honor.

Was it a subtle message to The Rock?

Some fans, however, couldn’t help but wonder if the double Ula Falla was also a thinly veiled message toward The Rock.

Their long-brewing Bloodline saga has blurred the lines between family respect and competitive rivalry, with Dwayne Johnson’s presence looming over Roman’s every move.

Wearing two garlands on such a grand stage inevitably led to speculation that Reigns was positioning himself above even The Great One when it comes to honoring the family’s roots.

Whether or not it was a direct shot, the timing is intriguing. Reigns is expected to step back on hiatus following Clash in Paris, but his presence at ringside during Jey Uso’s World Heavyweight Title match suggests he’s still shaping the storylines around him. If The Rock is in the cards for WrestleMania 42, the message in Paris could be remembered as a telling piece of foreshadowing.
