Roman’s injury status kept secret
The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer revealed that the reports of Roman’s injuries are false on a recent episode of Saturday Night’s Main Event. He said that the match went as planned and that the “abrupt finish” was part of the booking.
“That’s not even true,” Meltzer said about rumors that Reigns is injured.
If this is true… which is highly likely…. then Roman needs to up his game. That was a boring performance (Superman punch, Spear, Repeat)#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/ra9DRQ0dJG

Reigns looked to be complaining about his arm after Brock Lesnar put him in a Kimura Lock which worried the fans. If Dave Meltzer’s reports are true, then the “Tribal Chief” sold the injury well to dupe the fans and the media. WWE has not revealed a report regarding the injury as of now. They seem to have kept Reigns’ injury a secret.
