A clip featuring Roman Reigns from the latest Mexico City live event has caught fans' attention.

Reigns defended his Undisputed WWE Universal title against Rey Mysterio at WWE's latest house show emanating from Mexico City. The Tribal Chief was successful in retaining his title against the WWE Hall of Famer.

A clip from the contest is now making the rounds on Twitter. The clip shows Roman Reigns attempting to connect a Superplex on Rey Mysterio off the top rope. In a hilarious visual, Reigns failed to lift Rey up on his shoulder and connect the top rope move. Even though Rey was holding on to the turnbuckle for support, the visual of a powerhouse like Reigns failing to lift the 175lbs star left fans in splits. As can be heard in the clip, many fans in attendance had a hearty laugh over the sequence.
