SmackDown Superstar Roman Reigns had been using the Spear as his finisher ever since he debuted in WWE. However, The Tribal Chief revealed to Bleacher Report that he originally wanted the Guillotine Choke to be his finisher.

It was only after Roman Reigns turned heel that he was allowed to change his finisher from the Spear to Guillotine Choke. Reigns stated that he had been wanting to use this dangerous move for years and has not finally gotten the chance.

''It's like, 'What if I just pulled out a submission?' I've been saying that for years. Everybody knows the Spear. The producers that I work with all the way up to the head man said, 'I think the finish would be better with a Spear.' That's great because for years we built that spear up and up.''

Speaking to Bleacher Report, Roman Reigns also hinted that new theme music has been in the works for him. SmackDown's Universal Champion has stuck to the original theme music of The Shield since his debut but it is high time that he breaks away from any remnants of his time in The Shield.

"Yeah, we're working on it. It's not easy. I'm not gonna just... with this character, it's gotta be the right vibe. I can't, you know, be... you can't just hire a rapper... it can't just be some rap music."

With Reigns already having a change in his attire and attitude, a new theme song would certainly add to the aura of The Big Dog.
