The Pittsburgh Steelers celebrated their 27-14 win over the Cleveland Browns with a WWE-inspired meme that reimagined Roman Reigns’ iconic WarGames moment. But when Reigns responded to the viral post, he stayed true to his loyalties and gave a shoutout to the San Francisco 49ers instead.
The Steelers’ meme featured a twist on a memorable WWE WarGames moment, swapping in team logos to show the Steelers (as Reigns) blocking the Browns (as CM Punk) with the caption “Acknowledge us.” While the post gained traction among football and wrestling fans, Reigns made it clear where his NFL allegiance lies.
Taking to Twitter, Reigns quote-tweeted the meme with a simple yet definitive statement: “Niner gang!” The acknowledgment of his 49ers fandom didn’t come as a surprise to fans who are familiar with his long-standing connection to the team, but it added an entertaining layer to the Steelers’ playful post.
Love him or leave him, Roman Reigns always stays true to himself—whether he’s ruling the WWE or cheering for his favorite team. While the Steelers wanted acknowledgment, the Tribal Chief made it crystal clear where his loyalty lies. In true Reigns fashion, he left no room for debate, proving once again why he’s the ultimate head of the table, both in wrestling and fandom.
