5 Current WWE Superstars who broke character on live TV

#2. Former WWE World Champion Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns has become the face of WWE since his return to the company at last year's SummerSlam. The current Universal Champion often kicks off SmackDown with a promo alongside his Special Counsel Paul Heyman, which set the standard for the show.

Last month, Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns headed to the ring to deliver a ten-bell salute to Daniel Bryan after Reigns ended his career the week before following a match on SmackDown. Unlike the usual ten-bell salutes on WWE TV, this one saw Heyman himself shout "ding" rather than an actual bell ringing.

It's unclear if Reigns was aware that this was going to happen ahead of time. He clearly found it hilarious and went on to break character by laughing at Heyman as he continued the salute.

The former world champion was able to compose himself well enough to finish the segment, but many fans noticed that he was caught off guard by his own special counsel, which has become rare for Reigns since his recent return.
