Funny / Roman Reigns

• Insisting in a post-Wrestlemania 30 interview that "IT'S A DOUBLE TRIPLE POWERBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMB!".
• His in-ring promo with Chris Jericho during a WWE Raw Halloween special:
  Reigns: (To Jericho) I was gonna dress up as a Stupid Idiot...
  (Beat)
  Reigns: (shrugs) ...but they didn't have any more Jericho costumes, man.
  (Cue RAW Commissioner Mick Foley shouting "Zing!" in the background, with Jericho Jaw Drop)
• His absolute Trolling of Stephanie McMahon has been some of his funniest work ever.
  Stephanie: Get Out!!!
  Roman: But these people don't want me to go!
  Stephanie: I OWN THIS RING! I OWN THIS BUILDING! I OWN YOU! GET OUT OF HERE!
  Roman: Hey, y'all want to see her get really mad? (turns his back and ignores her, causing a screaming meltdown)
• During the meeting of the Survivor Series teams of Raw and Smackdown, Roman's reaction to AJ Styles's soccer mom hair making the List of Jericho is to crack up visibly, even though it doesn't fit his persona.
  • He does it again first for the post-Wrestlemania 32 crowd singing Sami Zayn's theme song, then about a minute later when Zayn and Kevin Owens ignore the other three guys in the ring in favor of picking up where they'd left off the night earlier and punching each other in the head.
• Ruining Rusev and Lana's wedding celebration, complete with a zinger about Rusev's, ahem, performance skills.
  Roman: I was expecting more! Just like Lana was expecting more on her wedding night.
  • He then proceeds to shove Rusev backward, into Lana, who goes directly into the very messy wedding cake.
• Considering the IWC's usual vitriol towards him during 2016 into mid-2017, the "YOU CAN'T WRESTLE" chant that broke out during a promo with Dean Ambrose wasn't too bad. Roman gets a little testy this time, though:
  "All the dudes chanting that I can't wrestle? I want you to calm down, relax, take a sip of your beer, and shut your mouth."
• During the reunion of The SHIELD, Roman caught a bad case of meningitis and had to miss a good month's worth of shows in October 2017. Upon his return, Stephanie McMahon calls him out, prompting this response (though Seth Rollins's facial reaction is the capper):
  Stephanie: And you, where have you even been?
  Roman: You got a lot of questions, how about we spin this? Where the hell have you been? We haven't seen you in like, six or seven months, and all that really happened to you is you went through a table at Wrestlemania. Oh, wait, I don't wanna get you in trouble. Your husband put you through a table at Wrestlemania.
• His spot-on impressions of Paul Bearer and Randy Savage. The Bearer one especially, for the sheer hilarity and Vocal Dissonance of hearing it come out of Roman.
• The Raw immediately after his defeat of The Undertaker has him reach X-Pac Heat levels not known to man, with Roman being booed for fifteen minutes straight with chants like "ASSHOLE!", "FUCK YOU ROMAN!", "RO-MAN SUCKS!", "DELETE!" and finally "GO AWAY!". At one point, fans chanted "SHUT THE FUCK UP!", even though Roman hadn't said a word at all.
• He nearly hijacked Dean Ambrose's WWE Chronicle episode with his hilarious backstage antics. It was near-universally agreed that he was the second-best thing of the documentary, behind Ambrose himself. It also crossed with Tearjerker, as the events of the episode were leading up to Ambrose's Face–Heel Turn — and thus, Roman's leukemia announcement.
• In his first promo in front of fans as the Head of the Table, Roman had the line of the night dragging John Cena's return at Money in the Bank 2021 with his old music and gimmick. A far cry from the guy that botched his lines the first time.
  Roman: Hollywood fooled me! They put a whole new paint job on John! I thought we were gonna get something new. I thought we were gonna get something special. But what happened at Money in the Bank? (looks at Paul who shakes his head) What happened? He came out here and put on a nostalgia act! It's the same thing! He came out here (with) the same music! The same run to the ring! The same outfit! The same promo! The same insults! If I wanted that, all I had to do is search online for "2005 John Cena"! It's the same thing, over and OVER and OVER! It's like missionary position EVERY! SINGLE! NIGHT! Uggggh!
• The promo where he absolutely savaged Vince McMahon's pet project and Money in the Bank contract holder Theory shortly after McMahon retired from WWE on the July 25, 2022 episode of Raw from Madison Square Garden. The NY crowd's reaction also helps sell it.
  Roman: I can appreciate what you're trying to do but, let's be honest here, you have no clue what you're doing with that briefcase right now. As a matter of fact, [turns to Paul Heyman] I think he needs a wise man. [turns to Theory again] You need somebody to counsel you, I'll be that guy for the night, alright? Here's some words of wisdom for you, Theory. I want you to start looking around, I want you to analyze the situation here, you understand? Your daddy's not here anymore. [the crowd reacts loudly] This is my ring. [the crowd starts chanting "DADDY'S GONE!"] And you heard them, daddy's gone. [the crowd chants "WHO'S YOUR DADDY?"] I'll tell you who his daddy is, 'cause if he keeps messing up, The Tribal Chief is gon' be his daddy! [the crowd cheers loudly] But we don't want that because we want you to understand the situation here. I run the garden now. [drops the mic and leaves with Heyman and the Usos, one of whom dope slaps Theory on the way out]
• At WrestleMania XL, Roman at one point used Cody's finisher, the Cross Rhodes, on Cody himself. When Rhodes kicked out, Roman was shocked, but then shook it off:
  Reigns: That move sucks. That move don't beat nobody! ^note Ironically, that would be the very move (technically three in succession) that beat him later in the same match, ending his historic title reign
