"Shoot me please" - Star calls infamous WWE segment with Roman Reigns the worst

A wrestling star has called his infamous segment with Roman Reigns in WWE the worst. Reigns has come into his own since adopting The Tribal Chief gimmick. However, his earlier run as the babyface Big Dog had a lot of over-the-top angles.

One such angle involved him in a feud with former WWE star Bishop Dyer (FKA Baron Corbin). In 2019, on an episode of SmackDown, the erstwhile Corbin and Nic Nemeth (FKA Dolph Ziggler) handcuffed Reigns to the ring post and poured dog food over him. Roman Reigns would get his receipt back a few weeks later.

On January 31, 2020, he teamed up with The Usos to take on Corbin, Ziggler, and Bobby Roode, with the stipulation being that the losing team would have to eat dog food. Roman Reigns' team emerged victorious. The babyfaces later tied the former King Corbin to the ring post, pouring bowls and cans of dog food over him.

Speaking on the Fightful Overbooked's In The Weeds podcast, Bishop Dyer talked about how painful the experience was.

"They handcuffed me to the post when we did that. They’re pouring dog food on me and everything, chili, and whatever else they had in that bowl, and I was hanging, but I was in the handcuffs, but I couldn’t get my feet under me because it was so slippery. So, I was literally hanging by the handcuffs. It was one of the most painful things I’ve ever experienced because it felt like it was getting ready to cut my thumbs off," he said.

He then explained that after the show went off air, he was screaming for help.

"We talk about Vin Diesel in Triple X; when he’s hanging by the handcuffs, I'm like, 'Bro, I’m done. Shoot me, please.’ That was the worst. I was screaming at the stage people to help me because the show went off the air, and everyone was starting to move. I'm like, ‘Somebody pick me up.' My thumbs are coming off," he recalled.

Roman Reigns is currently on a hiatus

At Clash in Paris, Roman Reigns took on The Vision's Bronson Reed. The OTC1 came out on top in a slugfest but was brutally attacked by Bron Breakker and The Aus-zilla after the match.

Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed took turns beating up Reigns, with The Tribal Thief delivering several Tsunamis while the former Universal Champion was tied on a stretcher. WWE later confirmed that Reigns will be out of action indefinitely.

This was done to write him off TV, as he will be busy filming for the upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie, where he will star as Akuma.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
