Roman Reigns is one of the most despised on-screen heels in WWE today. However, his recent gesture toward a top superstar has fans gushing about his personality. Reigns and Solo Sikoa faced Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at Night of Champions. Despite being an opponent, Reigns seemingly had a big smile when Sami Zayn got a big pop from the crowd during his entrance, though this could have been his heelish condescending grin.

The Tribal Chief has been feuding with Zayn ever since the latter betrayed The Head of the Table and left The Bloodline. Reigns defeated Zayn at Elimination Chamber but could not defeat him and KO at Night of Champions because of his cousins, The Usos, interfering in the match.

Sami Zayn participated in his first major WWE event in Saudi Arabia and was adored by the crowd. Zayn wore traditional attire while coming out to the ring and spoke in Arabic. The fans loved this, and they cheered for him loudly. A number of fans believe this was the moment Roman Reigns broke character, as he was seen grinning ear to ear, which fans think was because he was happy for his colleague's success.
