10 On-Air WWE Moments You Weren't Supposed To See

Even the best suffer the indignity of human error.

Roman Reigns worked Kevin Owens in an otherwise-fine 'Last Man Standing' match at the 2021 Royal Rumble PLE. At one point, KO handcuffed Roman to a piece of production rigging and watched him struggle to break free before the referee's 10 count. A certain 'Tribal Chief' was panicking for real though.

Paul Heyman fumbled about with the keys and couldn't unlock the cuffs in time. Things got awkward as hell, because the ref had to stop his count...during a 'Last Man Standing' match in which one of the participants couldn't stand up. Thus, it looked for all the world like this official was in Roman's pocket.

That wasn't the story, obviously. Paul E and Reigns were sweating buckets trying to break the champ free so the match could continue. As such moments tend to do, their panicked fumbling seemed to last forever before Roman was eventually freed.

Dude was borderline scarlet with embarrassment.
