#1. Roman Reigns is unable to answer the 10-count at The Royal Rumble

Roman Reigns defended his Universal Championship against Kevin Owens in a Last Man Standing match at last night's Royal Rumble but it wasn't a match that went to plan.

Owens and Reigns brawled all over the arena and had several near falls when the referee began the 10-count, but it was the end of the match that many fans noticed there was a problem.

Reigns was handcuffed to steel fixtures by Owens before the referee started the count and the champion was able to take out the WWE official so that he could keep hold of his title.

The issue here was that WWE sent out a new referee for their match and Reigns was still in the same position and couldn't get out of his handcuffs. Paul Heyman came over to help and the official got to the count of five before stopping despite Reigns still being sat down.

It took a long time for Heyman to finally get the handcuffs off Reigns and the poor official was just standing at the side unable to do anything because he knew that Reigns needed to retain his championship at the Royal Rumble.
