Sun Mar 02 01:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Roman Reigns Declares “Big Dog” Era Non-Existent; Announces International Appearances

**LAS VEGAS, NV** – In a surprising revelation, Roman Reigns has declared his past “Big Dog” persona to be entirely fabricated. Speaking to IGN ahead of the release of WWE 2K25, the Tribal Chief emphatically stated, “There is no Big Dog. He’s dead now. I don’t even see the other guy. He doesn’t even exist. It didn’t happen.” This statement comes as a sharp contrast to his earlier, fan-favorite “Tribal Chief” persona.

Despite multiple title reigns and a Royal Rumble victory, Reigns’ previous babyface run as “The Big Dog” never resonated with the WWE Universe. While his heel turn as the Tribal Chief has garnered widespread acclaim, the Big Dog era remains a point of contention among fans.

Reigns’ comments coincide with his return to the spotlight as a cover star for WWE 2K25, alongside The Bloodline. He’s also announced two international appearances at SmackDown tapings: March 21st in Bologna, Italy, and March 28th in London, England. This follows his absence from television since the Royal Rumble 2025.
