Daniel Cormier was on the receiving end of some jabs by the fans after his “acknowledgment” of Roman Reigns on social media! The former UFC ‘champ-champ’ is a huge fan of the WWE. In an interview with Ariel Helwani, he stated, “My boy Gunther, he’s so good. He’s my favorite wrestler of all time. He’s my favorite. He has surpassed the Macho Man.”

While Daniel Cormier has never wrestled in the WWE ring, he did take part in the 2022 ‘Extreme Rules’, event and was the in-ring referee for the match between Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins. And so, during the recent Wrestlemania XL Night 1, he took the time to showcase his support for Roman Reigns and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, who are part of the ‘Bloodline’ faction.

In a post shared on X, Cormier posted,I acknowledge you tribal chief! #WrestleMania, and raised his finger in front of the screen, which featured Roman Reigns making his entrance with the ‘wise man’ and recent WWE Hall of Fame inductee, Paul Heyman.
