Reigns last appeared on the show in October 2020 to discuss his fandom for the San Francisco 49ers. He 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 also previously showed up on "First Take" prior to WrestleMania 35 to speak on his battle with leukemia and his return to wrestling after taking a hiatus as a result.
"The Head of the Table" has popped in at ESPN from time to time for interviews on "Get Up" and "Sportscenter," promoting whatever WrestleMania is approaching at the time. 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.
