10 Things We Learned From Roman Reigns On WWE’s After The Bell

9. He Was Proud Of SummerSlam's Surprise

That didn't mean his comeback was phoned in. It was very important to Reigns that WWE did everything they could to keep his SummerSlam return secret, and he's immensely proud of everybody behind the scenes for keeping shtum about what the hyperbolic "You'll Never See It Coming" tagline meant.

There is a bit of implausible fluff from Corey at this point. He claims even he didn't know that Roman was returning - whilst a lot of pro wrestling announcers do like to be kept in the dark about finishes and things like that, it's hard to believe that Graves, Michael Cole and others didn't have a clue about the biggest moment of the night.

That might've been a wee lie, Corey!

Regardless, Roman's pride shines through on the pod. He badly wanted to give fans a shocking moment that'd distract them from all the hubbub going on in their day-to-day lives, and he hopes WWE managed to achieve that in August.
