"The Big Dog" has a new theme song, indicative of his spot at "the head of the table."
Reigns' new theme debuted on the April 30 episode of WWE Smackdown after he's used pretty well the same theme for eight and a half years dating back to his Shield days. Fightful Select reported the following shortly after the new theme appeared:
