The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns put his Universal Title on line against Daniel Bryan at WWE Fastlane 2021 PPV. At the closing moments of the match Roman Reigns tapped out to Bryan’s submission move but referee knocked out and didn’t see it. Later, Edge attacked both the superstars and Roman Reigns pinned Bryan to retain the title.
Roman Reigns recently appeared on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show and discussed about several topics. During the interview, Reigns says he didn’t tap out at WWE Fastlane PPV, he’s actually sending Morse code to Paul Heyman, who was at ringside, as his mouth was covered by Bryan. Here what Roman Reigns said:
“I told Paul (Heyman), I’m over here hitting Morse code to Paul. He had my mouth covered. We’re so like in tune with history and everything, I was Morse coding with him, telling him to fire up a jet. That wasn’t a tap. And you’re from the MMA, they do (taps his shoulder) – that’s a tap, like you can hear the tap. I was just telling Paul, that’s all that was,” Reigns said.
