Reigns last appeared on the sports debate show in October 2020 to discuss his fandom for the San Francisco 49ers, and even urged Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald to join the WWE due to his impressive physique, arguing that Donald could make a smooth transition to wrestling if given the opportunity. Reigns had also appeared on “First Take” prior to WrestleMania 35 to speak on his battle with leukemia and his return to wrestling from a life-threatening condition. Besides those appearances, Reigns has made several stops at the ESPN studios for interviews on shows such as “Get Up” and “Sportscenter” to promote various WrestleManias. Earlier this year, Reigns also sat down with UFC legend and ESPN analyst Daniel Cormier to preview his match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39.

Typically, WWE superstars are known to make several media appearances in the lead-up to WWE’s “big four” premium live events. As such, it’s more than likely that other current champions such as Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, Austin Theory, and Asuka make the media rounds through the week in the lead-up to Saturday’s SummerSlam.
