Roman Reigns CONGRATULATES Jimmy & Naomi on Their Pregnancy Announcement After Raw!
In a heartwarming moment that resonated across the WWE Universe, Roman Reigns, the “Original Tribal Chief,” extended his heartfelt congratulations to Jimmy Uso and Naomi following their pregnancy announcement on the August 18, 2025 episode of Monday Night Raw. The emotional response came as part of the ongoing rich narrative in WWE’s Bloodline saga and further underscored the deep bonds within the AnoaÊ»i wrestling dynasty.
The excitement began when Naomi, known outside the ring as Trinity Fatu, took to the ring during Raw to drop the life-changing news: she is expecting her first child with her husband, Jimmy Uso. The announcement came after weeks of speculation, particularly following her absence from a scheduled Women’s World Championship defense due to not being medically cleared to compete.
Naomi’s announcement was nothing short of theatrical. Amid cheers and visible emotion, she delivered her now-infamous line: “There is a baby on board!” alongside Jimmy’s warning to the women’s division: “We need y’all to proceed with caution.” The crowd erupted, chanting “Baby Uso!” while Naomi relinquished her championship—parting with the title she claimed via Money in the Bank and defended successfully at SummerSlam.
The emotional ripple effect extended backstage and beyond social media. WWE released clips capturing Jimmy’s raw, emotional reaction—backstage, he was comforted by AJ Uses stars like CM Punk, Jey Uso, TJ Wilson, and Michael Hayes. He was seen fighting back tears and embracing colleagues who offered their comfort and support.
Amid the wave of congratulations, not least among them was Roman Reigns. The Tribal Chief took to Instagram to post a touching video reacting to the moment. In it, he said:
“Welp, time to start over. Looks like he’s got the youngest now… I don’t got the babies… We’re starting to empty our house out. He’s gotta start back over, that’s awesome. Congrats, love both of y’all. It’s a blessing; to have our family continue to grow—nothing like it. This is completely God-sent. Congrats guys. Love y’all.”.
This reaction struck a chord with fans, not just for its raw sincerity, but also for how it cemented the extended Bloodline family narrative—which, in WWE terms, remains central to several storylines.
Interestingly, Naomi herself playfully referred to Reigns’ reaction as “crazy,” calling her uncle Joe in jest on social media.
This moment comes amid Naomi’s resurgent run in WWE. She had returned to the company with renewed purpose since 2024 and quickly built back momentum, capturing the Women’s World Title more than once. Her recent title run was defined by a Money in the Bank win, a high-profile defense at SummerSlam, and her blistering promo during this pregnancy reveal, signaling a character who is both empowered and unapologetically authentic.
Her departure from the ring, though necessary, clearly doesn’t mean goodbye. Naomi vowed to make a return—no matter what. Whether she’s coming back with her baby in her arms or reclaiming her title afterward, she left the division with a bold warning: “Proceed with caution”.
Beyond the storyline impact, this announcement marks a powerful shift in WWE’s portrayal of its female performers. For Naomi, this pregnancy isn’t a career-sapping detour—it’s part of her ongoing journey. She remarked that the current WWE climate allows women to embrace life changes like motherhood without walking away from their careers—a sentiment she says motivates her even more.
As fans, we’re witnessing more than just a storyline. This is real life merging with the squared circle—a moment where family, both in kayfabe and reality, takes center stage. Roman Reigns’ heartfelt tribute, Naomi and Jimmy’s announcement, and the overwhelming community support all underscore a universally relatable human milestone.
This baby will be WWE royalty from day one—and with the Bloodline continuing to grow, both in story and in real life, the future seems brighter and more meaningful than ever for this super-powered family.
