During his appearance on the August 1 episode of First Take on ESPN, WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns took part in an A-List segment where he named his top five Super Bowl contenders in the NFL.

Reigns, an avid fan of the San Francisco 49ers, placed his favorite team at the top of the list. The other teams he mentioned were the Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Philadelphia Eagles, and Kansas City Chiefs.

The Kansas City Chiefs, who won Super Bowl 57 earlier in the year, were highlighted as strong contenders by Reigns. He also mentioned the Philadelphia Eagles, who were the runners-up in the same Super Bowl, as another potential contender. Reigns acknowledged the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals as teams to watch out for in the upcoming season. The list showcased his knowledge and passion for the sport of football.

During the discussion, Paul Heyman was asked to join in on the conversation about the NFL. However, Heyman humorously diverted the attention back to promoting SummerSlam and Reigns’ Tribal Combat match against Jey Uso.

Heyman playfully engaged in banter with ESPN’s Marcus Spears, mentioning that Spears had never won a Super Bowl. In a tongue-in-cheek reference, Heyman also joked about football being predetermined, a lighthearted nod to the scripted nature of professional wrestling.

Overall, Reigns’ appearance on First Take provided an entertaining mix of sports and entertainment, showcasing his passion for both football and wrestling.
