WrestleMania 37 ended with WWE Superstar Roman Reigns retaining his Universal Title in dominant fashion. The ‘Tribal Chief’ continued his reign after smashing, stacking, and pinning both, Edge and Daniel Bryan, in a triple threat match.

Reigns performance as “Head of the Table” has been amazing, and the fans love it. At SummerSlam 2020, Roman Reigns turned heel and has since ruled as the ‘Tribal Chief’ on Friday Night SmackDown.

To solidify him as a major heel, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon thought of giving Roman a new theme song that would fit his character better. However, Mr. McMahon wanted the theme to debut at WrestleMania, while Reigns didn’t.

Roman Reigns walked out to his old Theme “The Truth Reigns” at WrestleMania 37 disagreeing with Vince McMahon. WWE had a good opportunity to introduce Reigns’ new theme on the grandest stage of them all but they fell short.

Roman Reigns disapproved getting a new theme at WrestleMania 37

During an interview with Bleacher Report, he spoke about the last-minute theme change. He said, “It wasn’t ready. Me and the big man weren’t agreeing on a couple of things, so I was like, ‘ I’m not going out to it now.’ I have to feel it because nobody outside of my cousins and Paul is walking out to that. To me, these are the types of things I have to 100 percent be connected to, and that’s why our audience can trust me, and the presentation, and the character, and everything I’m doing.”
