One of the most polarizing WWE superstars today is Roman Reigns. While many hardcore fans have rejected WWE’s attempts at making him the biggest star in the company, Reigns still remains hugely popular with the female and children demographic.
However, a fan on Twitter decided to try to ruin that and posted that Roman Reigns told a little girl to “get lost” when she approached him for a photograph.
Word spread quickly about what happened and fans started to come to the defense of the WWE superstar. Finally, after the arguing continued on Twitter, Roman Reigns stepped up and made an official comment about the situation.
Reigns, who is enjoying a small vacation from the WWE right now, said that it was not a little girl who approached him but an adult. He also said that he didn’t tell anyone to get lost but was trying to explain that he was enjoying rare family time and then said the guy called him a “sell out” and stormed off.
First of all, it was a grown man that approached me while I was feeding my sons breakfast and talking to my daughter. B4 I could finish saying “I’m sorry but I don’t get much time with my family”, he stormed off calling me a “sell out”. That’s the truth. Get your gossip right. https://t.co/hYr2YXTZhm
