The current active roster of wrestlers mostly has a fandom story that got them started with wrestling in the first place. Since Roman Reigns comes from a wrestling background, fans wouldn’t usually expect him to have a wrestling idol out of his family.

However, Reigns seemed to have a wrestling crush during his adolescence that perhaps made him stick to the sport. As the young Tribal Chief’s picture went viral on Twitter, his childhood crush also spoke up.

Trish Stratus was one of the more prominent female stars during her time in the mid-2000s. In fact, she was recognized as one of the best modern-day female wrestlers. The Tribal Chief did not fall behind in accepting this fact in his younger days. Stratus recently spoke on Raw that she is not somebody’s “childhood fantasy”. She couldn’t have expected what was going to come next.

‘BT Sport’ replied to Stratus’ words with a picture of a young Roman Reigns. Besides him was a life-size cardboard cutout of Trish Stratus. Assuming the picture is of Reigns’ room, the picture’s caption read, “Respectfully, Roman Reigns would disagree.”

If that wasn’t enough for fans, Stratus also replied to the viral picture. The legendary star said, “At least [Roman Reigns] acknowledges me.” The interaction concluded to be an interesting virtual moment. A reply from The Tribal Chief himself could have made the situation even more intriguing.

Although this was an unusual sight for fans to witness, it wasn’t the first time that a wrestling star’s fandom circled back to their wrestling ‘idol’.

Earlier in 2023, Bayley posted a picture of an innocent childhood letter written by her. The female wrestler wrote the letter for her idol back then, Lita. Although the letter was all about Bayley’s appreciation for Lita, the narration had to be twisted to fit the plot WWE was planning to build. It was shown that Bayley was seemingly ‘studying’ Lita’s every move. The celebrity-fan cycle came to a conclusion on WrestleMania 39.

It is yet to be seen where Reigns’ old crush on Trish Stratus takes the story, or will ‘The Head of the Table’ himself respond to this series of tweets?
