10 (Possibly Untrue) Reasons Roman Reigns STILL Wears SWAT Team Gear
9. He's Protecting A (Kayfabed) Injury
The week after The Shield broke up, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns should've main evented Raw and Rollins should've kayfabe "broken Reigns ribs." Reigns then in storyline leaving on the SWAT-team jacket would've made sense as he was protecting an injury. Imagine if after all of this time, there was a doubt as to whether or not Reigns' body had actually healed. Brock Lesnar assaulting Reigns just before Mania and making it a point to rip off his jacket would've been a cool point at which to insert some doubt as to the babyface's ability to succeed.
