Roman Reigns gets roasted by SDCC panelist

Mattel released several action figures of the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Apart from him, Solo Sikoa, who has had quite the impact on The Bloodline storyline in the last few months, was also featured.

But, during the course of the event, one fan failed to keep their emotions in check and lashed out at Seth Rollins and WWE, while declaring Roman Reigns as the real champion. Rollins, the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, was present with his gold, which must have irked the person.

But in order to make the Roman figure as accurate as possible, you can only play with it once every six weeks,” he quipped as everyone laughed, diffusing the tension.

Before this, Chelsea Green made the room crack up with her antics. Mattel also released her action figure. But Raine? Maybe she’ll have to wait a bit longer to see one of her figurines on shelves. On the brighter side, she can collect the figurines of her other family members.
