The Bloodline saga is set to continue for the foreseeable period.

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns and NBA 2026 Champion Jalen Brunson joined Shannon Sharpe, Chad Ochocinco, and Joe Johnson on Nightcap at Fantatics Fest 2026. During the conversation, Roman was asked to name wrestlers in the WWE locker room whom he hates the most. Reigns said that there is a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect in the locker room. He added that while he used to be “one of the boys” back in the day, things changed after he transformed into The Tribal Chief.

Reigns admitted he isn’t really friends with anyone currently, and all he has is his family. Hence, the Bloodline saga will continue until his retirement.

Here’s what Roman Reigns said:

“It’s weird because years ago it was a different story; I’m in a different place. It’s a locker room; there is camaraderie; it is a show, and we are all working together, so there is that friendship. In the business, we call it being one of the boys, being the boys.

Early on, you could easily say that’s exactly what I was, but there was around a time when I kind of transformed into the Tribal Chief around COVID. When I came back, I had to choose of do I want to be one of the boys, or do I want to be responsible for the championships? Do I want to pull the waggon? Do I want to make the business better? Do I want to advance the industry? And I had to make that choice.

I’ll cleanly say now that I don’t really have many friends anymore; I mean, I have my family, I got my blood, and that’s real. We’re not a faction; we’re a family. People wondering how long this is gonna go on for? Until I’m gone. I’m not in the friend business; we’re in the conflict business. We’re here to sell tickets to get y’all to see us. I mean, I’m a businessman, and I’m cordial with the locker room, but I’m not really trying to hang out with anybody.”
