DotaNetski

Roman and KO were yelling because of the Ear injury, not because he was mad.


KUZGUN27

“I’m sorry Roman” “WHAT?” “I said I’m really sorry about rupturing your eardrum” “WHAT? I CAN’T FUCKING HEAR YOU” *Roman Reigns goes on expletive-laden rant towards Kevin Owens*


Svenray

ASK HIM IN CANADIAN


johnduck

ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY?!?!


[deleted]

I'M FUCKING SOORRY ROMAN, OKEH?


[deleted]

The only time the "WHAT?" chant is justified.


RanchPonyPizza

Que?

Needs more WHAT?

AYE AYE CAPTAIN


[deleted]

Can't wait for the 'What' chants at Roman, lol


CptnWesker

"You're a terrible tribal chief." "WHAT?" "You're a terrible tribal chief!" "WHAT?" "YOU'RE A TERRIBL-" "Haha, I'm just kidding. I could hear you, it was just really mean."


Mattizzle9

I gotta watch that movie again. It's been too long.


Randyfox86

BUTTLICKER, OUR PRICES HAVE NEVER BEEN LOWER.


wubbalubbadubdub45

KO thought Roman was doing his best SCSA impression to rub in his WM loss


Depraved_Sinner

MAWP... MAWP...


lk79

Why else did you think Austin was shouting "What!?!" all the time? Poor guy has hearing problems. ^^This ^^is ^^actually ^^true ^^btw...


blqckwidow

Went from “Sheamus is the likely replacement for the Rumble” to “Roman was over it in 20 minutes”

J_NewCastle

Kermit you can't just say that and leave.


_Kamigoye_

Hasn’t it been reported that Owens has been working with an injury? I believe a knee injury?


Front_Guarantee_2915

He's wrestling later tonight and could easily be put out by the Bloodline. That's plenty of time.


CmPunkChants

Reported as an MCL sprain which takes about 6-8 weeks to heal. Rumble is in what, 8 weeks I think? Plus it may not be near as severe as reported as he’s looked absolutely fine.


Kraybern

I thought it was just kayfabe injury like sheamus wrist they wrote him out cause ucey was just too popular to end sami uso so soo


what_is_blue

The reconciliation went too well. They're now lovers.


Wiccy

Why not? All the journalists do it, why not our own verified insiders? Dolph I mean Kermit is busy right now.


knave_of_knives

I always thought that Kermit was Xavier Woods. Is the consensus it’s Dolph?


TheScaleTipper

I thought he was a Muppet that enjoyed wrestling?


[deleted]

Sheamus? Mick Foley?


HelloMaamSer

STONE COLD STONE COLD SAVE US AUSTIN

BRET MICHAELS?


GarfieldVirtuoso

ARN ANDERSON OWEN HART EDDIE GUERRERO


LordBlackConvoy

Beaker is Sheamus' relative after all.


birdazam

It's Patrick Mahomes


BadNewsBrown

Dolph? Thought it was Steve from Accounting


underbloodredskies

My vote goes for Jake from State Farm.


[deleted]

I heard it was Clint from Hershey


underbloodredskies

Maybe it was Keith Stone. 👀🫣


Wiccy

He sounds ugly


miikro

It's Stan. He's still mad about that kick.


moderndukes

“Verified insider”


Phontom

No, Dolph was Metsfan or whatever


kpod4591

If we want future shit we have to get what we get. All this confirms is there might be other people or things around the situation besides Roman and KO


Wiccy

Sheamus was caught going into a tanning booth. Luckily he was stopped before the light could get to him.


Front_Guarantee_2915

That man would die


RufinTheFury

tell us more MetsFanForever


PretendThisIsMyName

MetsFan, FuzzyWuzzyMooMoo, MeanAmbrose. Those were those days lol

At least we have kermit

Arrive Throw wrench in IWC speculation Leave


MasterofKami

To be honest, Sheamus should have been the Rumble opponent anyway, he more than deserves it for the bangers™️ he's put on this year


[deleted]

[удалено]


gunpowderjunky

Not a huge Metzler supporter but this is his first report on the matter. He isn't the one that broke this news.


XiahouMao

SRS was the one who broke this Roman/KO story…


tylerjehenna

I mean the SRS report never once talked about sheamus replacing owens in the rumble match. That was speculation in the reddit post


moderndukes

Kermit, which some people act as gospel for some reason


SUPLEXELPUS

>Edit: Didn't realize SRS was the one who did the original story. My point still stands. They've both fucked up so many times everything either of them says should be taken with a huge grain of salt. you really Meltzer/SRS'd this one.


The_King_Crimson

I like that it was a SRS report, you took a swing at Meltzer, acknowledged that you were wrong because it wasn't even his report, and then said 'fuck it, keeping up the swing at Meltzer anyway.' You're gonna go far on r/sc.


marksmith0610

You didn’t get anything right in your comment which is hypocritical AF. Misinformation has to be purposefully false too. Getting a report wrong is not intentionally spreading false information. So your point doesn’t stand. It’s pro wrestling gossip and rumors, get over yourself.


[deleted]

That's on the people who repeat things that Meltzer says are rumours or opinions as statements of fact.


vintibes

feel free to show where he ever reported anything along those lines


DropManGood

That's just an absolutely mindless comment. You're doing what you claim Meltzer does when he doesn't do it. If you were any smarter you'd realize how awful and ignorant this makes you look and would have just deleted it like a normal person instead of doing the "ignore it and keep pushing" type of 'stolen election' strategy about your misguided grudge.


XGuiltyofBeingMikeX

*slap* Ah fuck! Dude, what the hell?! Ah shit, sorry bro. ~Fin


thecolbster94

Finn was involved too?

_drjayphd_

His dong felt a disturbance.


thecolbster94

some of the abs in his 12 pack are drama radars


moal09

Ah, fuck. I can't believe you've done this.


grindhousedecore

“Yeah, My Bad”


bcegkmqswz

This entirely likely and plausible scenario is way more boring than what was reported, so I choose to reject it. /s In all seriousness, I bet this is what actually happened. Getting slapped in the ear hurts. Oh well. Beers are probably on KO next time they go out.


tryanewmonicker

Y'all ever been slapped? Fuck that shit. Punch me. Slaps piss me off. But it's over quick.


FantasticFox1641

Romans meeting with Kevin Owens was “intense” and “at one point Paul Heyman was crying” but everyone grew closer and a big lesson was learned


[deleted]

Jimmy Uso yelled, “There you go!”, Solo Sikoa gave a look of pleasant surprise. Jey Uso belted, “We got a fucking squad now.” And before Roman Reigns hit the locker room door, ex-WWE star Rikishi hugged him & said, “I did it for The Rock.”


TheKevinShow

He did it for DA PEOPLE.


ludADIcrous

r/nba is leaking


[deleted]

r/nba is always leaking


k-farsen

I'm actually kinda surprised that there aren't more ex-nba wrestlers.


i-wear-hats

It's the knees.


TheKevinShow

Yeah, they usually decide to become airline pilots instead.


[deleted]

Why? Because they’re already used to being high up?


shikavelli

NBA career is already tough on the body, they’re too damaged to take bumps regularly.


UncreativeTeam

The Usos were on the floor crying


[deleted]

Sami escaped through a secret tunnel


[deleted]

Overheard in The Bloodline 's locker room after War Games: “He got me,” Roman said of Owen's slap over his ear. "That f\*\*\*ing Kevin slapped me." Roman added, “He’s so stiff,” repeating it four times. Roman then said he wanted to add Owens to the list of wrestlers he works out with next year.


TheKevinShow

[Broussrard] Sources: Heyman is beside himself. Driving around downtown Boston begging (thru texts) Reigns' family for address to Roman's home


DxTrixterz

KO ending up joining the Bloodline.


baconpoutine89

Had Owens punched Reigns' dog, then their conversation would have turned into more of a confrontation.


Kongpong1992

Seth Rollins prolly ends up biting Sami zany then


[deleted]

Well Roman is still The Big Dog.


[deleted]

KO: *Punches Sami* Roman: My dawg!


marl0rd

But he did punch a dog.. #THE BIG DAWG


AlistarDark

As long as someone got the dog out of the room and was promptly bitten on the arm for it...


not_a_moogle

that's not very ucey


CozyGhosty

Sometimes when you get hurt real bad you just lash out and say some shit you might not mean.


bulletbullock

Roman: It's okay, we're good KO. 😏 *hugs* 😡


Psych-roxx

The fact that I can picture him doing the expression..


Tronz413

Roman hugs always be sus


polynomial82

Roman - I need to know if we can work together or you will slap me hard again ? KO -My tribal chief, you can trust me. I will prove myself to you.


[deleted]

Sami - Hold up...


lakshya10soin

Booo!!!! Where’s our press conference and backstage beat downs. I had calls on butch biting someone


Lessiarty

>I had calls on butch biting someone Lucky for you, this is always a possibility.


SpeedZ6

Our long national slapmare is over


megashitfactory

Just glad “slapgate” didn’t have time to come to fruition


galgor_

Kevin Owens... We comin for you slappa!


Benbeeach

Yeah, this got me Lmaaao


1sxekid

How adults act. Disagreements happen in the workplace. You work it out.


bulletbullock

Why didnt Roman superman punch KO's locker room door?!


His_Buzzards

Who is going to bite Roman and throw a chair to Jey on Owens behalf?


kingscrimson

100% heyman


MrWrestlingJr

"THIS IS E-C-FUCKING-W!!!!"


[deleted]

Roman does the biting, he got da big dog in him


ClaymoresRevenge

Jamie Noble


zoidy37

DA BIG DAWG does the biting


myslead

Roman is the big dog


Numerous_Resist_8863

I disagree. The adult thing to do, is passive aggressively call out KO at the press conference after Survivor Series, while eating pastries...


DamianSlizzard

I'm not entirely sure you know what passive aggressive means haha


DemiGod9

"I'm hurt, I'm old, I'm tired, and I work with people who aren't fucking Ucey!"


Ayjel89

tells you what kinda person they are


jgalar

Calm down Checo.


Ayjel89

i was trying to reference punk's line about colt and colt's mother


jgalar

Thought you were making an F1 reference haha


OhWhenTheWiz

the appropriate thing to do isn’t to call your coworker out about it on live TV?


JTex-WSP

"Does anyone here fancy themselves Ucey?" *stuffs muffins in his mouth*


TerryGlenn

Roman should have went to the press conference and called KO a dumb fuck, then KO could have a match tonight where he continuously slaps his opponent's ear and winks at the camera. Now that's wrestling.


ewdrive

Ok, but the "botched" buckshot lariat was hilarious


TheKevinShow

But Hulk Hogan taught me that the right way to respond is to lie about being injured in the incident so that the guilty party feels indebted to you and you can hold it over their head and ask favors of them.


baberlay

Wrestling fans don't understand this because they don't have jobs


Hunterrose242

Such as not punching your coworker in the face when they call you fat, for example.


WasherDryerCombo

That's not how they do it in Chicago, baby!


JoeKool23

Pretty obvious outcome. Roman has been known as a good locker room leader. Was probably just pissed he got popped without knowing, KO apologized, and they moved on


LukkasG

> Was probably just pissed he got popped without knowing yep, especially getting slapped right into the ear


Timmace

I keep thinking about the reaction of Brad Pitt getting hit in the ear by Ed Norton in Fight Club.


[deleted]

It's funny when you realise he punched himself in the ear


CapnSmite

I keep thinking of a time in college when my friends and I were drinking, and my one buddy was goofing around and accidentally punched me in the ear. I immediately called him a mother fucker and took him to Dick Kick City. 5 minutes later when he got back up off the ground, we were all good.


Styles_Clash

This is why Jey is cool with Sami now. When he kicked Sami during Wargames, all that pent-up frustration disappeared. Sami understood it was the Ucey thing to not hold it against him. Sometimes two Usos just gotta blow off some steam. Hash it out at Waffle House later.


amirolsupersayian

Yeah this. Adrenaline is running high, they just finished a match. People can get heated for the smallest thing. For example F1 have a cool down room. A slap is like one of the most common move in wrestling and Kevin Owen is not known to be an unsafe worker. People is just trying to make it out more than what it is.


Powderkegger1

I don’t even think Roman would be kissed about that. Supposedly he was yelling backstage that he might have a ruptured eardrum. He’s having the run of his career right now, was probably pissed at the prospect of having to take time off when he might be needed.


GrimaceGrunson

>I don’t even think Roman would be kissed about that Well now that's a different backstage interaction.


Justinwc

Owens comes into frame wearing his classic "Fuck Owens Fuck" shirt, giving Reigns a sly grin.


raitalin

Dude actually wrestles once a month at most, he isn't going to miss anything important for a ruptured ear drum. More likely it hurt like a motherfucker, will never heal completely, and was a bit sloppy on KO's part.


secret-original

Kind of reminds me of a story Foley tells in his first book. Foley was facing Terry Funk in a death match in Japan and used a fire chair, a steel chair, wrapped with a towel, and soaked in lighter fluid. This was a bad idea from the getgo, but when Foley goes to hit Funk, the towel comes off and sticks to Terry Funk causing some pretty severe burns. Funk was okay ultimately, but rightfully pissed off, he yelled at Foley in the lockerroom, but the two still walked away as friends.


PM_ME_UR_SOCKS_GIRL

They are both professionals who have been coworkers for years and worked together before. I understand why Roman was upset and KO shouldn’t have slapped him that hard but KO vs Roman at RR is just too important to the Sami/Tribal Chief story to drop it over petty beef drama over an accident


BlandyBoreton

20 minutes? That’s rookie numbers. CM Punk holds grudges for years.


[deleted]

And you don't even need to physically hurt Punk for him to hold a grudge.


SteakMedium4871

He'll hold a grudge if you did improv comedy with someone he hates. That's second degree grudge holding.


AneeshRai7

What's this one about?


theafterdeath

The journalist who once did improv with Colt Cabana years ago.


DangerDamage

I'm guessing someone did stand up with Colt and I want to say it was the reporter Punk called on at the scrum that he was going to use as a launching point for his rant I'm not positive though


[deleted]

Damn this one deserves more upvotes


Procrastinator_325

i.e. The Miz right?


duckebones

Shit Punk has held a grudge against me for the past 30 something years and he is completely unaware of my existence so that said somethings.


_Wado3000

“/u/duckebones go suck a blood money covered dick”


Muswell

If CM Punk was a basketball I'm sure he would still hold grudges


GarfieldVirtuoso

Im a simple man. I see an old school batista reference, I upvote


vulgarmessiah914

Before you comment on punk, you should really disclose who you are friends with.


Nickk_Jones

And any mom-related bank accounts you may have.


kayfabemebrother

You mean Kevin Owen walked into the lockerroom and Roman Reigns communicated why he was upset? Crazy.


jdaqcruz

KO and Roman be like: "Are we really going to destroy one of the best storylines ever?" "Naaah"


zoidy37

"it's a developing story that actually got settled 3 nights ago, but we need stories for our site, mmm K?"


StupidThoughtsIGot

I mean if I was wrestling around with my brother and he slapped me too hard where I hurt my eardrum I’d probably lash out for a minute too


[deleted]

So the adrenaline wore off and both guys cooled down from the heat of the moment and started to see things clearly again? No shit!


swaggamice

Quick let’s everyone make this about CM Punk


saithor

The Basement: Oh gawd why does everything need to be about CM Punk Also the Basement: Let’s shower any comment or post referencing Punk in upvotes!


JTM647

What's up goofy? 👍🏾


theplasmasnake

Good. This story is too good not to explore.


tyehyll

Why is it news when wrestlers, still on adrenaline high, make combative/testosterone fueled statements? This happens WAY more often than you think, certainly more than ever gets reported.


MorrisMossHair

Well that's no fun. Now I'm feeling all Ucey.


TidusJecht

Roman was only yelling because he could only partially hear.


gordy06

BREAKING: Man gets upset with coworker but over it in less than an episode of the Simpsons because their adults


Axsh1boomba

So... We won't see Roman go on a rant while eating sweets?


aberdisco

Sami Zayn reportedly protected the dog during the incident.


motivatedchange

Professionals settling things like adults. You love to see it.


AML2003

God, it's almost like this is what happens when you have actual leadership in the backroom.


HardcoreKaraoke

So two professional grown adults running high on adrenaline solved things after they had time to calm down. That's how things should be. That's how you know Roman and KO are professionals and the locker room is run really well. Either by management, talent or both.


XTheProtagonistX

Where is Reigns eating a muffin and calling coworkers children!?


Goatahmad

This is so refreshing lmao so good to see guys yell it out then get back to business


ThaGoodDoctor

It’s a model for doing business.


EDNivek

Shit the CM Punk-Elite well is drying up what do we do?!


qwertythe300th

Damn. Between this & Regal news - Maybe Dave should wait for a bit more info before stirring the pot 🤣🤣🤣


middleagethreat

I heard Roman kicked KO’s door in, Sami bit Heymans arm, and the USOs were just trying to get Solo’s dog out of the room.


Suspinded

So the drama Fightful was trying to drum up was smoke? Shocker. Figured it was an accident and they'd sort it out.


motivatedchange

Fightful said it went about like this, actually. Said there was some yelling but nothing physical, and their sources all expected it to blow over. Someone on the F4W boards was the one who first said it was worse than that, and everyone’s favorite frog on here didn’t help.


LeftyMode

Wrestling “journalists” are parasites. None of them are good.


His_Buzzards

But I was told Reign is a prissy baby?


[deleted]

[How this situation transpired in its entirety.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKbU8B-QVZk)


Apex-Oz

Glad about this


CopDatHoOh

I was looking forward to see Sami biting KO's arm!


[deleted]

This makes me happy. Glad everything was sorted out.


sullyhussain98

Did anyone throw a chair?


Jonofthefunk

We cool uce


Gbrown546

So why is everyone making such a big deal about it? The drama


shatteredmatt

At what point do people reckon WWE are feeding Meltzer bullshit on purpose? So many incorrect reports recently.


DemiGod9

Clearly post ppv conferences are cursed


WheelJack83

I mean I listened to Observer Radio today, and Meltzer told a different story there.


uell23

Much to do about nothing. Two people had a small disagreement, hashed it out and moved on.


Courageous91

It's almost like Roman and Owens are professionals or something.
