5 Biggest WWE promos that were actually unscripted

#1 Roman Reigns cut an unscripted promo targeting Brock Lesnar

Roman Reigns

The Road to WrestleMania 34 in 2018 saw Roman Reigns targeting Brock Lesnar and his Universal title. WWE decided to bring a sense of reality in the storyline and Lesnar was seen showing complete disinterest in his job. In one segment, Lesnar was sitting in a room backstage, with Paul Heyman trying his best to convince his client to show up in front of the fans.

On one episode of the Red brand, Reigns was set to have a showdown with The Beast, but things changed in a hurry when Lesnar didn't appear on the show. Reigns went on to cut a promo on his opponent, slamming him for not caring about the business. The promo targeted Lesnar's lack of respect for the business and the fact that he wasn't interested in showing up on a weekly basis.

The promo, as reported later, was unscripted, as it wasn't originally planned for RAW. Lesnar's absence led to a change of plans and it only helped Reigns get some much-needed support from the fans. The WWE Universe lauded Reigns' promo, but The Big Dog failed to defeat Lesnar at WWE WrestleMania 34. Reigns would go on to beat Lesnar for the Universal title at WWE SummerSlam 2018.
