Roman Reigns is still ‘The Head of the Table’ in WWE after a victory against ‘Demon’ Finn Balor at WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view tonight. But, the ending of the match became a talking point for the WWE Universe and all the internet fanatics.

Since it was an ‘Extreme Rules’ match, there were no count-outs or disqualifications. So naturally, both the superstars went outside the ring to fight. The highlight was that Roman Reigns was fighting amongst the crowd wearing a COVID protective mask, and the fans on the internet couldn’t get enough of it.
