Update On Why Roman Reigns Heated After Survivor Series Wargames Match

Despite winning WWE's first main roster WarGames match, Roman Reigns wasn't too pleased upon returning backstage after the match.

First reported by Fightful Select, Roman Reigns was visibly upset after the Survivor Series main event, specifically about a spot within the match. It was rumored that Reigns took exception to what he perceived as an unplanned spot between he and Kevin Owens.



As he walked backstage, he mentioned possibly having a ruptured ear drum, and wanted the spot to go as originally planned. The exclamation was said to have been "expletive filled" and it was clear to everyone that Reigns wasn't happy.

Some didn't believe there would be any extended heat in regards to the situation, and that it seemed like more of a "heat of the moment" reaction, but that's only their perception of things. They expected the two to be able to coexist for work purposes. Another put over both Reigns and Owens as passionate about what they do and figured if there were issues, they'd end up talking about it directly. Reigns did not appear at the post-show press conference as planned.

Speaking on the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer, Dave Meltzer stated that Reigns was upset after a slap from Owens during the match. Reigns got upset after being popped and had noticeable bruising under his left eye.

Per the report, there was talk of a possible broken eardrum, although, this wasn't confirmed, came from a slap by Owens, Reigns was upset, but 20 minutes later it had all blown over so there is no lingering issue regarding it.
