Roman Reigns opened the show on WWE Raw in front of a raucous England crowd for his first promo in a long time.
Reigns takes on Bronson Reed at WWE Clash in Paris, and The Tribal Chief appeared on Monday Night Raw yet again ahead of the huge French show.
The Tribal Chief has appeared semi-regularly on WWE Raw before and after SummerSlam, before Reigns heads off to film Street Fighter.
The star was overwhelmingly received by the Birmingham crowd, but The Tribal Chief shared a brief reaction about the crowd booing Rhodes.

Roman Reigns breaks silence on Cody Rhodes boos on WWE Raw
Reigns outlined his plans to defeat Reed at Clash in Paris, as well as detailing his journey from losing the WWE Championship to Rhodes at WrestleMania 40.
The Tribal Chief’s mention of Rhodes defeating him for the title was shrouded in boos by the British crowd.
Reigns took a step back and simply uttered ‘Interesting’ about the crowd’s response to the American Nightmare.
Reigns and Rhodes are expected to have a third match following their main event clashes at WrestleMania in 2023 and 2024.
The match could happen as soon as WrestleMania 42, and Reigns’ response to the Rhodes boos could have been the star of the build.
Roman Reigns previously said Cody Rhodes is only relevant around him
This is not the first time Reigns has referenced Rhodes since losing the WWE Championship to the American Nightmare.
Speaking to CBS Sports, The Tribal Chief revealed: “Cody’s a great Champion, he beat me so he’s gotta be, right?”
“But he was never more relevant than when he was in my circle, on my island, and that continues to shine through.”
Rhodes and Reigns’ WrestleMania matches were both well received, with the 2024 bout widely considered a classic.
