The heart of the matter:
Reigns and Strowman are presently involved in a heated feud as part of an ongoing WWE storyline that sees them go toe-to-toe against each other in highly physical matches on a weekly basis, ever since the two started feuding at WWE Fastlane earlier this year.
The WWE’s RAW and SmackDown rosters are touring Europe as of now and the red brand's marquee performers Reigns and Strowman were photographed posing alongside O’Neil and a few other WWE performers as they were in the city of Rome for a RAW live event.
This, in turn, has reportedly led to several pro-wrestling fans trolling O’Neil, Reigns, Strowman and the WWE for breaking kayfabe. As a result, O’Neil has taken down the aforementioned photograph.

What’s next?
The WWE Superstars of both brands – RAW and SmackDown – are expected to tour Europe through the middle of this month. Despite their camaraderie outside the ring, fans can expect Roman and Braun to get back to business on RAW, come fight-night.
Author’s take
Maintaining kayfabe is getting tougher by the day and Titus O’Neil did the WWE no favours by posting a photograph of the two on-screen rivals – Reigns and Strowman – all while the duo is in the midst of an extremely intense rivalry.
Nevertheless, judging by the buzz the picture has created online, the Titus brand sure does know how to stir things up, and as they say – any publicity is good publicity. Never change Titus, never change!
