Roman Reigns has been the top star in WWE for some time now, and he’s been doing a lot of trash talk since he became The Tribal Chief. Recently Reigns spoke to Ariel Helwani of ESPN and he took a shot at former UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier.
“I’ll smash anybody one on one, whether it’s Daniel Bryan one on one, Edge one on one, DC one on one, I’ll smash them all. Get him from behind the table. Get him back in the gym, maybe. Maybe he could have a chance. It’d be a short story I’ll tell DC.”
Daniel Cormier then attempted to call Roman Reigns out on Twitter, but he ended up tagging an impostor account by accident when he posted the following:
“Watch your mouth @RomanReignsWWE! I’ll dance with the big dog! @arielhelwani @espnmma @wwe”

The Tribal Chief’s Special Counsel, Paul Heyman, then noticed the error and blasted Daniel Cormier when he told him that he would be lucky to be an enhancement talent in WWE.
“LMAO! @dc_mma tagged an imposter @WWERomanReigns account, hoping the #UniversalChampion doesn’t see this nonsense. Fight ROMAN REIGNS #DC would be lucky to be in @WWE as enhancement talent! His biggest moment in @UFC was getting shoved across the Octagon by @BrockLesnar!”
That announce table got him acting soft. https://t.co/4QqHi0RRWw

Daniel Cormier then took the next step when he tagged Vince McMahon and Triple H in a tweet while noting that his advisor Ariel Helwani was waiting by the phone. However, Helwani pointed out that Cormier once again tagged the wrong account when he tagged @HHH instead of @TripleH.
“My advisor @arielhelwani is waiting by the phone. Its time to stop talking and let’s make this real! I’m 42 years old with a bad back and I’m whippin you any day of the week. Your move @VinceMcMahon @HHH this my yard , I’m the big dog!”
You tagged the wrong guy again 🤦♂️
