WWE did their Supershow in Mexico last week. The Supershow had a star-studded lineup with matches between all the top stars. Dominik Mysterio was in a champion vs champion match with Seth Rollins which he lost. Cody Rhodes faced ‘Senior MITB’ Damian Priest defeating him convincingly. The main event for the night was The Tribal Chief facing Rey Mysterio for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

During this match, Roman Reigns actually broke character to merely make the crowd laugh. He started gesturing towards the crowd with his hand and then suddenly pointed towards Rey Mysterio. Even the crowd supported him in the act by making noise when he signaled in Mysterio’s direction. It was a very funny moment because fans very rarely get to see this side of The Tribal Chief. Reigns is known for having a very serious and ‘Commander-In-Chief’ persona. So to suddenly see him act this comically got the fans talking online.
