Check out the pic above to see Roman Reigns getting blasted right in the back of the head by a replica Money In The Bank briefcase. Was it bouncing off of him after an attack by Bray Wyatt? No. Did it fall from a hook above the ring? Nope.

A fan threw it from the crowd.

This incident occurred on a WWE house show card (the 8 August 2015 one, to be precise). Reigns was fighting Wyatt in a main event 'Street Fight' when someone fired the Sasha Banks-emblazoned case at the ring at caught him flush. Panicking, the referee paused the action so Roman could get checked over by docs.

Wyatt stalled for time, but footage from the aftermath shows that Reigns was touch and go to continue. He was legitimately hurt by the blow; that case might've been a replica, but it still had weight to it. Besides, it was the corner of the thing that hammered him on the back of the bonce.
