The longest reigning Universal Champion Roman Reigns rarely breaks his character on TV. However, he did break his character on this week’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown.

Reigns broke his character because Warrior Award recipient Jarrius Robertson “coached” him to perform a wrestling maneuver. Stephanie McMahon arranged a special ringside place for Jarrius so that he could have a nice time.

However, during a match, Roman Reigns gave Jarrius a high-five because Jarrius was directing him to perform a move on his opponent.

“Coaching up @WWERomanReigns since @HeymanHustle wasn’t doin anything,” he wrote on Twitter.

Roman Reigns has been the Universal Champion for 530 days

‘The Tribal Chief‘ Roman Reigns won the WWE Universal Champion back in 2020 when he defeated the former WWE superstars ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman at the Payback PPV.
