5 Botches, slip ups, and outrageous moments from WWE Raw February 6th, 2017

2. No selling torso strikes

For the most part, Samoa Joe looked incredibly strong in his match against Roman Reigns. The two seem to have chemistry so hopefully, they get more chances to wrestle each other in the future. Joe fits into the dominant role that makes Roman more sympathetic, offering extended beatdowns to the man with very mixed crowd reactions.

There was a brief moment of no-selling by Roman as he tried to rally in the face of his aggressor, but instead of getting excited about Reigns possibly mounting a comeback I began wondering why this wasn’t the norm for all of those Joe strikes. Roman Reigns wears a chest protector, shouldn’t all strikes to his torso get a similar reaction?
