During their bout, Reigns accidentally hit the referee, John Cone. Prior to his attack on the referee, The Big Dog continued to assault Joe despite the referee’s count. Cone stepped in to separate Reigns from his opponent but that did not go very well for the referee.

This fine had little to no effect on Reigns who took to his Twitter account and said that his actions were ‘worth every penny’. Reigns also went on to say that he has nothing to worry about. He then added that he is having fun and completely underplayed the punishment laid out for him.
