WWE brass gets some weird fixations sometimes. And it looks like Reginald is one of them.

After being attached to Carmella for months, Reggie has transitioned to being arm candy and a valet of sorts for Nia Jax (and Shayna Baszler). That means a tag team that already had enough dysfunction and hijinks surrounding it now has an acrobatic sommelier accompanying them to ringside.

On Monday, Reginald kept getting involved in Nia & Shayna’s match against perennial losers Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke, cartwheeling on the apron, tumbling in the ring, and distracting the ref. Nia was enamored with all of it, while Baszler seethed. And fans likely rolled their eyes.

Maybe this will lead to Shayna turning on Nia and regaining her killer instinct. Or maybe Reginald will turn her into a wine-drinking socialite. Who knows at this point? But right now, it’s just silly, and not clicking… yet.
