The undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, is one of the WWE’s most significant figures. Reigns is the company’s biggest attraction, and it is unimaginable that he will depart to join another pro-wrestling promotion. However, on the recent episode of HBO Max’s Hacks, Roman Reigns and AEW were referenced.

In the episode, Trust The Process, Angela Elayne Gibb, who portrays Robin on HBO’s Hacks, mentions Roman Reigns when speaking with her son.

In one scene from the most recent episode, Robin asks her son, Marcus, “If Roman Reigns ever goes to AEW, can I at least DM him [Marcus’ EX]?”. To which Marcus (Carl Clemons-Hopkins) replied, “sure mom if Roman Reigns ever goes to AEW, you can DM my ex-boyfriend.”

The context of this reference is Marcus’s mother and his ex-boyfriend Wilson are both wrestling enthusiasts, henceforth she still wants to chat about wrestling with him. Additionally, HBO’s Hacks certainly didn’t make the pro wrestling reference for the first time.

Previously, during Season 1, the show made a WWE reference. In that episode, they discussed the Royal Rumble. Wilson also shares how much he enjoys watching Trish Stratus, Ivory, Jaqueline, and Lita.
