WWE just filed for a brand-new trademark—and fans are already connecting the dots to the future of Roman Reigns’ empire.
On November 6, 2025, WWE officially filed to trademark the term “Tribal Heir,” a phrase that instantly raised eyebrows across the wrestling world. The filing includes language directly tied to in-ring wrestling performances, digital content, and fan club services. The exact line from the paperwork reads:
“Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered live and through broadcast media including television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service…”
But here’s where it gets really interesting—this isn’t the first time WWE filed for “Tribal Heir.” The company initially filed for the name in July 2025, but it was quietly abandoned in September. Now, just two months later, the trademark is back in motion.
The timing has sparked speculation that “Tribal Heir” could be tied to Roman Reigns or The Bloodline story. Whether this becomes the new persona of an existing talent or introduces a completely new face remains to be seen, but the revival of this specific name suggests WWE has plans in motion.
Do you think “Tribal Heir” is Roman Reigns’ successor in the making—or is WWE swerving fans again? Drop your thoughts below.
