Reigns has done a stunning job of staying in character since turning heel last August. He's ignored all of Paul Heyman's comedic fun and largely stood as a standalone force on the roster who cannot be budged or made to drop his guard. In that sense, he's become almost Undertaker-like.

So much for that.

Roman appeared to corpse slightly when Heyman delivered his first "DING" during the 10-bell salute for Bryan. Whilst this suited the moment, it was strange to see Reigns shed his menace, especially when he was standing mid-ring.
