10 Most Infamous Backstage WWE WrestleMania Moments
6. The Samoans Nearly Riot (WrestleMania 31)
That WrestleMania 31's main event was a total banger before Seth Rollins' Money in the Bank cash-in doesn't get said enough. Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns worked an awesome, bruising spectacle prior to the interference, overcoming wonky crowd reactions with gladiatorial spirit, with 'The Architect' and his excitement the cherry on top, closing a tremendous pay-per-view on a high.
The outcome went down a storm with most fans. Not Reigns' family, though. It was reported a few days later that Roman's father, Sika, "forgot the business is not real life and was legitimately p*ssed at the finish, looking to start a war." That's a direct quote from the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer. More accounts followed from different sources, making it sound like while the younger members of the Samoan clan were behind Sika, his older relatives were able to talk him down.
WWE company man Michael Hayes dismissed the story, though his word his outdone by an actual part of the Samoan dynasty, Rikishi, who confirmed everything, saying that if they had rioted, fans would have seen it on the news.
All that because daddy got worked.
