Roman Reigns has risen to the top of the roster, and there’s no pulling him down. He’s shown why he deserves to be The Tribal Chief and sit at the head of the table.

But, coming to being The Tribal Chief, Reigns has truly embraced The Samoan Wrestling Family’s cultures. One of them is wearing the Ula Fala that The Rock’s grandfather, Chief ‘Peter’ Maivia, used to wear. Not only did Chief Maivia wear it, but so did former Superstar Umaga.

In the Samoan culture, The High Chiefs and Orators wear them at important and significant events and occasions. It’s made from the seeds of Pandana Fruits that have been painted red.

The fact that Roman Reigns ensured to wear the Ula Fala at particular events showcase the importance of those events.
