Ignore for a second the fact Samoa Joe is supposed to be an exclusive SmackDown star post-Superstar Shakeup. Similarly, try to look past WWE's clumsy attempt to transition out of Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar and into Roman vs. Joe at Backlash.

No, the main issue with this segment should be Roman's sly dismissal of Joe's powerful promo, during which the Samoan once again claimed he'd end Reigns. For some reason, Roman appeared to find that funny, and a smirk crossed his face.

Reigns didn't laugh when Jinder Mahal interrupted him though. In just a few short moments, Roman went from being super-angry, reverted to his 'too cool for school' mannerisms fans have been so critical of, and then became heated again for someone he isn't even feuding with.
