WWE superstar Roman Reigns didn’t hold back while expressing his opinion of ex-teammate Seth Rollins. The Original Tribal Chief and Paul Heyman recently sat down with a Visual Concepts developer in a promotional video for the company’s annual computer game 2K25.
During the shoot, Reigns hilariously highlighted how the developer looked like Rollins. “He kinda looks like Seth, no offense he’s a piece of trash…you just look that way,” the Original Tribal Chief said.
A fan account has now shared the chucklesome clip on X (formerly Twitter). “He’s not holding back at all!” the post read.

In the promotional video, Roman Reigns was seemingly unimpressed by the developer’s gaming skills. The WWE superstar watched him play intently alongside Paul Heyman before making the sharp comment.
Reigns’ words resulted in a smile on the developer’s face who continued playing as the video came to a close.
Seth Rollins had also recently opened up about his relationship with Roman Reigns. Rollins, however, only had praise and love for his ex-teammate. “I love Roman Reigns. Let’s get that clear, I love him. We came into the industry together. Roman and I broke into WWE together back in 2012. We came in as a trio,” he said on the Up and Adams with Kay Adams, as per multiple outlets. “Roman and I have stuck around in WWE, and we’ve both risen from the very bottom of WWE to the very top of WWE,” Rollins added.
Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins made their WWE debut decades ago as a part of a faction called The Shield. Making an appearance at the 2012 Survivor Series, they interfered in the triple threat main event between CM Punk, John Cena and Ryback for the WWE Championship.
The interruption allowed Punk to pin Cena and retain the title. It also laid the foundation for a new era dominated by Reigns, Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Two years after their debut, Rollins betrayed their teammates to break up The Shield while joining forces with The Authority.
Since the betrayal, The Shield reunited multiple times between 2017 and 2019. Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose competed together for one last time in 2019 at WWE Fastlane. They defeated the trio of Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre. Days later, Ambrose left the company, marking an end to The Shield’s final chapter in the company.
Since then, both Rollins and Reigns have featured in multiple main events across several premium live events. They have also won many champions in their career, establishing themselves as two top stars in the Stamford-based company.
