WWE Reportedly Considering a ‘Tribal Chief Championship’ for Bloodline Storyline

The Bloodline saga has been one of WWE’s most captivating storylines in years, but even its biggest supporters have pointed out a minor flaw: the rivalry is built around an abstract concept. While Roman Reigns’ title as “Tribal Chief” is deeply rooted in the faction’s Samoan heritage, it lacks the tangible symbolism often seen in championship-driven feuds. However, WWE may soon change that.

According to a report from WrestleVotes, WWE is considering introducing a Tribal Chief Championship belt into the Bloodline storyline, giving Reigns, Solo Sikoa, and the entire faction something more concrete to fight over. The report suggests this championship would be similar to the People’s Championship presented to The Rock earlier this year at WrestleMania 40.

If this move happens, it could coincide with the highly-anticipated January 6 debut of WWE Raw on Netflix, where Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa are already set to clash. Their match, which Reigns officially laid out on the December 13 episode of SmackDown, will be a “Tribal Combat” Match — a stipulation that features no disqualifications and no outside interference. WWE elaborated further on Raw three days later, building anticipation for this significant showdown.

While the introduction of a Tribal Chief Championship is still speculative, it wouldn’t be the first time wrestling has seen story-driven titles designed to enhance rivalries.

• In the late ’80s, Ted DiBiase introduced the Million Dollar Championship, a flashy symbol of his wealth and influence.
• In ECW, Taz debuted the rebellious FTW Championship (affectionately called the “F*** the World” title) as a darkly humorous declaration of dominance.
• In WWE’s early 2010s, Matt Cardona (then Zack Ryder) crowned himself the Internet Champion, a nod to his social media success and rising online fanbase.

These titles, while not always formally recognized, added depth to storylines and served as symbolic trophies for larger-than-life personas. A Tribal Chief Championship could play a similar role, giving Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa an unmistakable prize that embodies their struggle for leadership and power within the Bloodline.

The timing would certainly make sense. With the Netflix era of WWE Raw on the horizon and Roman Reigns’ storyline entering yet another pivotal chapter, a new championship would help escalate tensions and provide fans with a fresh visual centerpiece for the Bloodline feud.

Should WWE proceed with this plan, the Tribal Chief Championship could become a unique piece of wrestling lore — a title driven less by traditional wrestling wins and losses and more by legacy, dominance, and family pride.
