Roman Reigns Attacked at Live House Show


In breaking news out of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, WWE Superstar Roman Reigns was attacked today by a fan during a live house show. A report from NESN says the incident involved a replica Money in the Bank gold briefcase which an audience member hurled into the ring that struck Reigns in the back of the head. Reigns was involved in a match against Bray Wyatt at the time, which featured Wyatt using a kendo stick as a weapon to attack Reigns.

The video below shows the aftermath of the incident, which included security and authorities rushing into the front area of the crowd at ringside to apprehend the fan. The fan put up a resistance, but was eventually thrown out of the arena. It's unclear right now if any charges have been pressed against the fan.


A series of photos was also shared by the Cageside Seats website showing the briefcase thrown into the ring and hitting Reigns in the back of his head, while kneeling on the mat.

Reigns is currently involved in a feud with Wyatt which has now spilled over into an upcoming SummerSlam 2015 match. The match will feature Reigns alongside former Shield team member Dean Ambrose taking on Wyatt and Luke Harper. SummerSlam arrives on Sunday, August 23rd from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Big Show & Great Khali Brawl Backstage


According to multiple sources, there was a backstage brawl between The Big Show (Paul Wight) and Great Khali (Dalip Singh Rana) at a WWE house show this past weekend. The two had been involved in a tag team match during the house show, and got into a dispute over the match. Reports have said that the two have had issues over recent weeks, some of which is due to Big Show feeling Khali uses moves that should be exclusive to him (Big Show).

The incident reportedly went down at Saturday's WWE Smackdown/ECW house show event in Arecibo, Puerto Rico at the Manuel Iguina Coliseum. The two giants were part of a six-man tag match which featured The Undertaker, The Great Khali & Matt Hardy vs. WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk & WWE Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show. One of the many accounts as to what happened claim that Show called out Khali backstage for messing up the finish of the match.

There's various details about what happened exactly in the backstage altercation, but many of them say the first punch was thrown by Big Show. Great Khali blocked the punch and the two started to grapple. It's been reported that Big Show slipped on a bag backstage, allowing Khali to get on top of him to continue the fight, but it was broken up before it could get any more serious. One of the several wrestlers who helped break up the fight was Undertaker.

Many will recall these two were involved in a feud about a year ago when they appeared on the Smackdown program. Apparently the entire lockerroom was buzzing about the fight on this past week's Monday Night Raw, and Khali/Big Show were kept apart for the rest of that houseshow weekend tour. Both men are part of different matches at this Sunday's 2009 Breaking Point PPV.
