What does “OTC” mean on Roman Reigns’ shirt?

What does “OTC” mean

The 2024 SummerSlam has truly proven to be the highlight of the season for WWE, living up to its reputation as the biggest event of the summer. All eyes were on the anticipated comeback of Roman Reigns, the former champion who had been absent from the ring since his defeat to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania. And Reigns did not fail to impress, delivering a stellar performance.

The ex-Universal Champion came back to assist Rhodes in securing victory over Solo Sikoa. The Head of the Table made a memorable return to a raucous crowd reaction, facing off against his former enforcer and reaffirming his status as the top member of the Bloodline in the promotion. The audience was captivated by the chief’s presence, but did you catch the message on his T-shirt?

Reigns’ shirt displayed OTA, a new addition not found in his previous merchandise. The acronym OTC, which stands for Original Tribal Chief, originated from his recent storyline where Solo Sikoa assumed leadership of the Bloodline. In response to Sikoa’s claim, Reigns proudly sports OTA on his chest as a symbol of his position as the Original Tribal Chief.

WrestleVotes previously forecasted this development, stating that Roman Reigns may return and assert himself as ‘The Original Tribal Chief’ in reaction to Solo Sikoa’s recent declarations.

It is important to recall that during the previous week’s Friday Night SmackDown, Solo Sikoa delivered a cautionary message to Cody Rhodes, his adversary at SummerSlam, as well as Roman Reigns. The Big Dog appears to have located him and initiated his initial move towards retaliation. The outlook for the OG Head of the Table remains uncertain.

The Original Tribal Chief experiences a shift in allegiance.

Speculation surrounds the potential role of Roman Reigns upon his return, with some media outlets suggesting that WWE may seek to revamp his character by transitioning him from a heel to a face. The dynamics within The Bloodline have significantly shifted, as Solo Sikoa has assumed the position of ‘Tribal Chief,’ having ousted both Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman. Furthermore, Sikoa has garnered the backing of Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa. Consequently, it is plausible that Reigns may reunite with his former allies to restore the original Bloodline and ignite a civil conflict.

The anticipated return of Jimmy Uso is imminent, as Jey Uso recently discussed this in an interview with Justin Barrasso from Sports Illustrated. Jey expressed his eagerness for his brother’s return to the programming, stating, “My brother will be back soon. I want to see him on TV. If you really pay attention to Jimmy, he is quite humorous. He began to stand out on SmackDown for a while before his injury. I am looking forward to seeing his character reappear on television, especially in relation to Roman Reigns and myself.” What are your thoughts on this significant return?
