Roman Reigns had an awkward moment with a reporter after WrestleMania XL.
WrestleMania XL kicked off with a bang, featuring memorable fights and storylines that will be remembered for years to come. However, one moment outside of the main event is grabbing headlines: Roman Reigns’ unexpected and uncomfortable confrontation with a reporter.
The main event of WrestleMania XL was a rollercoaster of emotions, culminating in a victory for Reigns and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson over Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes.
The match ended with Rhodes performing two Cross Rhodes moves on Reigns, but The Rock intervened, hitting Rhodes with his belt. The Tribal Chief then delivered a spear to Rhodes and tagged in The Rock, who finished off Rhodes with a Rock Bottom and a People’s Elbow for the victory.
After the thrilling main event, controversy continued during the post-event press conference.

Reigns encountered an awkward moment while addressing the media. As he began to speak, boos erupted from the rows of reporters. In response, the wrestler asked, “Who did that?”
Upon identifying the culprit, Reigns promptly instructed, “Leave. I’m serious. The lady with the glasses, get her out. Get her out or I’m leaving. Use your feet.” Tension lingered briefly, with Roman warning, “You’re wasting our time, lady.”
The identity of the reporter involved in the altercation with Reigns remains unknown, and it is unclear whether the incident was real or staged. Ultimately, the journalist exited the room, allowing the press conference to resume.
During his interaction with the media, the Tribal Chief revealed that he continues to battle leukemia. He shared that he is undergoing oral chemotherapy, stating, “it’s a medication that I’m going to have to remain on my entire life, most likely.”
“It’s just a part of my personal battle. It doesn’t affect me, thank God, I’m still able to perform. I think anybody in my position would say health is wealth,”Reigns emphasized, adding, “As long as I continue to perform, you already know that’s at bay. We’re good. We’re still in remission. It is something that is still part of my life.”
