He out-bursted on Zayn, and mocked him. Reigns repeatedly asked Zayn for an apology. However, moments later, Reigns himself would present Zayn with an apology. This moment would be extremely unexpected and fans were least expecting The Tribal Chief to keep his ego aside, and apologize himself.
Fans were left in awe, and even Paul Heyman himself was shocked at the events that unfolded. Reigns apologizing himself sets this up for the future, and is the proof of good writing and storytelling.

Bloodline is peak story telling

However, another WWE fan thought this to be one of Roman Reigns’ trick up his sleeve.
Interesting tactic for Roman. He probably is trying to expose Sami by being vulnerable with him. I guess time will tell…🙃😬
