Roman Reigns’ impact on the WWE and fans was intense after the famed wrestler returned to the ring a few years back. But throughout his career, one thing didn’t change — the Tribal Chief still seems to portray himself as the most dominant villain in WWE. Rarely breaking his character despite several incidents, Reigns managed to keep his stature high.
However, during a recent WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns seemingly struggled to keep it to himself when a fan from the crowd hurled insults at him. According to a video shared online, the Tribal Chief is spotted walking through a row of people when a woman standing in the crowd slammed the wrestler. After acknowledging her comments, Reigns seemed to struggle to hold onto his character.
Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns Meet Face-to-Face
With WrestleMania 40 set to happen next month in Philadelphia, WWE Friday Night SmackDown brings Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns to meet face-to-face. With Rhodes having the mental edge over Reigns, the duo met for what was supposed to be a private affair, at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as reported by CBS Sports.
Previously, during an encounter on Monday Night Raw, Cody Rhodes was promised a face-to-face encounter with Roman Reigns without any shenanigans. Now, although the encounter came to fruition, it certainly wasn’t without some careful planning by the world title challenger.
During the SmackDown event, Cody Rhodes conceded that Roman Reigns is probably the greatest wrestler of his generation. Comparing him to the likes of Steve Austin and John Cena, Rhodes praised Reigns. But thereafter, he also noted that he’d be the one to beat Reigns at WrestleMania 40. While Rhodes offered Reigns a handshake, the Tribal Chief brushed him off.
Roman Reigns Struggles to Maintain Character After Fan Insult
Meanwhile, as WWE fans were more focused on Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns’ face-to-face meeting, others were losing their minds over a rather funny encounter. According to a video shared online, it seemed that netizens were hooked to the moment when Reigns appeared at the WWE SmackDown, walking through the crowd into the arena.
During that particular moment, Roman Reigns was greeted by fans on both sides, and some of them weren’t quite impressed with him. Throwing insults at the wrestler, users on X noticed one particular woman in the crowd who seemingly cooked Reigns with her comment. It seemed that even the Tribal Chief was struggling to maintain his character after that insult.

Trying not to laugh after the fan from the crowd called him out, Roman Reigns seemed to struggle with his dominating persona. As heard in the video, the woman stated, “you need a group full of strangers to acknowledge your little b*tch *ss?” Following that very comment, even the wrestler was spotted trying hard not to laugh out loud.
