1. That Murderous Look

Roman Reigns was almost a murderer-erer-erer.

At the hilariously-titled Great Balls Of Fire in July 2017, Reigns lost to Braun Strowman in an 'Ambulance Match' before enlisting the help of some pals to take down the monster and then attempt vehicular homicide live on air. Wait, what? Yes, this actually went down.

Whilst you may remember WWE's big stunt from the evening, you might not look back on the murderous scowl Roman gave as he glared into the emergency vehicle's wing mirror. That hardly screamed 'I'm the promotion's top babyface'. It was malevolent, it was dark and it was wicked. Live on pay-per-view, a dude considered killing another.

WWE never really revisited what was going through Reigns' mind at the time. That would've made for a cool, reflective story; Roman could've explained that he got caught up in Braun's destructive ways and apologised. Instead, everyone just sorta' moved on.
