5 recent news & rumors about Roman Reigns: Expected WrestleMania opponent revealed, plan for Tribal Chief to break incredible record

#2. Dutch Mantell doesn't expect the fans to see Big E as a threat to Roman Reigns

As Survivor Series is expected to consist of numerous inter-brand matches, Big E will likely face Roman Reigns in a Champion vs. Champion match. Big E's title win was positively received, and he recently got a big win over Drew McIntyre at Crown Jewel.

However, Dutch Mantell isn't sure that he'll make a great opponent for Reigns. During the most recent episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Mantell stated that he didn't expect the audience to buy Big E as someone who could beat The Tribal Chief.

"Being in the ring with Roman Reigns helps him [Big E]. But do you think anybody would think that he would beat Roman Reigns? See, that's what you got to go after. You've got to make the people think, well, this guy, he might beat him. But nobody is going to think that," stated Mantell .

#1. Roman Reigns kicked Enzo Amore out of the locker room

When Enzo Amore was still with WWE, Sports Illustrated reported that he had been kicked out of the locker room for a series of indiscretions. It now turns out that he was removed by none other than Roman Reigns. Amore once claimed that he was ejected after "punching a bully."

During an appearance on Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw, former WWE referee Mike Chioda presented his version of the story.

“Roman Reigns is old school, so many generations of wrestling there. He made Enzo dress out in the back because of some of the stupid stuff he was doing. I mean, when you disrespect the business, the boys in the locker room or anything else, you’re gonna get heat, that’s for sure,” said Chioda.
