Roman Reigns debuted a brand new look.
The SummerSlam 2025 PLE began with Cardi B making her long-awaited appearance before Jey Uso and Roman Reigns made their entrances to kickstart The Biggest Party of the Summer.
The first match of the night saw the team of Reigns and Uso face off against the duo of Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. However, while the OTC slowly made his way to the ring, fans across the globe witnessed an interesting appearance change for The Tribal Chief.
Generally, sporting a red and black glove for several years during his bouts to go with his character and Ula Fala, Reigns changed it tonight to a much lighter tone. Interestingly he matched it with his cousin Jey Uso’s black and white attire, and sported a brand new black and white glove, with unique tribal designs.

It was the first time Reigns sported a lighter tone in his attire, which could be symbolic of his face turn. It is also to be noted that several years ago, fans had witnessed Reigns with a golden glove during the initial days of his Tribal Chief gimmick, which slowly faded away.
