During his time as an active WWE performer, Wyatt feuded with Reigns on numerous occasions. The two men crossed paths during The Shield's iconic rivalry against The Wyatt Family in 2014.
Reigns and Wyatt have also teamed up with each other. In 2020, The Tribal Chief dethroned Wyatt, aka The Fiend, to win the Universal Championship. This marked the beginning of his 1,090+ day title reign.

I’m going to start right after I go to Taco Cabana.' Jacob just busted out laughing. [Rotunda was] just a funny dude like that, man. There’s not many people that you could just sit there, and they’re not trying to be funny, [but] they just funny. And I loved him," Henry added.
