After Reigns demanded that the room acknowledge him in line with his usual press conference routine, a female reporter chose to boo rather than comply. This triggered a notable response from the Tribal Chief. "Who did that?" Reigns asked sharply, his frustration evident.

Paul Heyman handles the situation!

As the room fell silent, Reigns pointedly addressed the offending reporter, instructing her to leave. His agitation grew as he threatened to walk out of the press conference if his demand was not met. "I'm serious. The lady with the glasses, get her out. Get her out or I'm leaving! Use your feet. You're wasting our time, lady!" Reigns asserted.

The tension was briefly alleviated by Paul Heyman, Reigns' Special Counsel, who attempted to lighten the mood with a quip: "This ain't baseball, there's no three strikes!" Despite Heyman's effort, the incident underscored the intense atmosphere surrounding Reigns’ press appearances and his high standards for audience interaction.

The video has since gone viral, reigniting discussions about Reigns' on-screen persona and his interactions with the media. The incident highlights the pressures and dynamics of high-profile wrestling events, where even press conferences can become arenas for dramatic displays.
