10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Aug 18)

1. Roman Reigns Went Long With His Post-WrestleMania 33 Promo

WWE put Roman Reigns in a no-win situation by expecting him to cut a promo 24 hours after retiring The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33. Emerging to scathing boos, Reigns was powerless to stop people from heckling him out of the building, so he played it smart by keeping quiet and picking his spot. Meanwhile, officials backstage were flapping.

In an interview with the Off The Board podcast, Roman revealed that he actually went way over his allotted time with the promo and ate into several segments scheduled after his. As a result, the match pitting The Hardy Boyz against Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson had to be cut short. Even ringside cameraman were telling Reigns to wrap things up.

As production staff and cameraman invited Roman to get out of the ring, he continued acting smug and strutted around the ring. For a full 5 minutes or so, Reigns claims he did nothing but smile at the cameramen as they made circle gestures with their hands to tell him it was time to go.
