Roman Reigns takes his sweet-assed time getting to the ring, which (in turn) means his new music blares over the speakers for quite a while. Often, WWE loops the track through another cycle of the first part before he's ready, but this is the first time yours truly has noticed something special.

The track reverts to his old Shield-style theme right near the end. It's only for a split second, but the old riff is definitely there. Even Cena seemed a little surprised by it on SmackDown.
