11. Oops!

Reginald. Sorry, Reggie (it's been shortened) was cutting a backstage promo with Kayla Braxton when one of WWE's production runners stumbled through the curtain like The Shockmaster. OK, he didn't actually fall over, but the look on his face was priceless.

At first, yours truly thought this might be deliberate - Reg was talking about the need to look over his shoulder now he's 24/7 Champion at the time.

10. Reggie Missed The High Fives

Reggie can perform a mean backflip, but he can't high five for sh*t.

Pause SmackDown at the right moment and you'd see that the 24/7 Champ never actually made contact when he was reaching out for a hand slap from those camped out in the aisle. Perhaps the champion would prefer a humble fist bump instead.

9. Why This Is So Impressive

Or, maybe he'll just show everyone up by backflipping like an absolute boss.

Anybody who has ever worn a replica WWE belt will know how chunky they are. So, imagine wearing the real deal and still being able to perform a series of backflips like it's a piece of p*ss. This was weirdly impressive from Reggie.
