  • Roman Reigns was previously known as Roman Leakee
  • He is the current WWE and Universal Champion
  • Reigns could take on Sami Zayn at the Elimination Chamber event

Former WWE star Summer Rae has sent a message to Roman Reigns after her kissing video from 2012 resurfaced on social media.

Rae signed a developmental contract with WWE back in 2011. She was associated with the Florida Championship Wrestling brand, becoming the general manager of the developmental territory. She made her televised debut on the Dec. 18 episode of "FCW TV," a Florida Championship Wrestling television program, in 2011.

The following year, Rae was part of a segment with Reigns, who was previously known as Roman Leakee. A video clip of the episode recently reappeared on Twitter, where the 39-year-old female star was seen cheek-kissing the current WWE and Universal Champion.

Reacting to the video, Rae sent a three-word message to the Tribal Chief. "Never forget, Leakee," wrote Rae.

Rae, who is also a model, actress and former American football player, was absent from WWE for five long years before making her comeback last year in an episode of SmackDown. She was advertised as a WWE legend, taunting Natalya during her match, in regard to their rivalry from Total Divas.

The veteran wrestler made her in-ring return on the No. 23 spot in the 2022 Royal Rumble, going straight to attack Natalya but was eliminated by the latter.

Meanwhile, Reigns-led Bloodline recently lost team member Sami Zayn. The latter's addition to The Bloodline raised the bar of the group to a different level. The former Intercontinental Champion spent months developing a special bond with The Usos, Solo Sikoa and Reigns. But it all came crashing down at Royal Rumble when Zayn attacked the Tribal Chief to stop his attacks on Kevin Owens.

Since then, Zayn and Reigns have seen each other once on SmackDown. Zayn challenged Reigns, who has been the Universal Champion for a record-extending 800 days, to a title match at the Elimination Chamber. The Tribal Chief accepted it and warned Zayn he would be punished in front of his family for breaking up The Bloodline.

The 2023 edition of Elimination Chamber, a professional wrestling pay-per-view and live streaming event, is scheduled to take place on Feb. 18 in Montreal, Canada.
