5 lesser-known WWE backstage stories about Roman Reigns: Why Triple H forced him to apologize to the locker room, real-life heat with Randy Orton

#3 Roman Reigns kicked Enzo Amore off the bus during WWE’s European tour

Roman Reigns kicked Enzo Amore off the WWE tour bus due to inappropriate behavior

Roman Reigns took the stand for WWE locker room with this act. Former WWE Superstar Enzo Amore did not share a good rapport with the locker room. He had a lot of heat backstage from his peers, and that was generally blamed on his lack of professionalism. Many agreed that Amore often rubbed people the wrong way, and at one point, it led to Roman Reigns kicking him off the WWE tour bus.

The incident dates back to 2016 when WWE Superstars were engaged on a European tour. Reports claim that Enzo Amore’s inappropriate behavior didn’t go down well with the other superstars who were also on the bus.

He reportedly talked about how he partied all weekend and bragged about how much money he makes in the pro wrestling business. Roman Reigns then decided to remove him from the designated vehicle.

Enzo Amore appeared on WWE Network's "Straight To The Source" show with Corey Graves and claimed the incident never happened.

“If that's the case, you wouldn't have seen me on the next show, correct?" Enzo asked Graves. "I have to get from point A to point B and they have to provide those accommodations because we work for a Fortune 500 company, so it's impossible to kick me off a bus. They ain't stupid and neither am I, they're not going to put themselves in jeopardy by not providing transportation to one of their biggest stars. If I can't get from point A to point B not on a bus, how am I getting there?"

However, Corey Graves and several other WWE personnel later confirmed that Roman Reigns and the rest of the superstars grew tired of Amore’s constant disrespect. Graves revealed more details on an episode of Bring it to the Table.

“If you’re on a European tour for 12 days deep and he’s going on and on and an about how he partied with The Weeknd in L.A., you’re gonna get tired of hearing about it," Graves said. "There’s a limit and when you’re on the road that much, a guy like that will wear on your nerves.”

Roman Reigns avoided a public discussion on the topic but used the opportunity to establish himself as the locker room leader in WWE.
