WWE recently traveled to Japan for a few shows, and some special things happened in Tokyo. Chris Jericho and Finn Balor reportedly tore the house down with their match, and after it was over Jericho officially added Tokyo to the List of Jericho.

Roman Reigns also got some major love from the fans in Tokyo. If you watching wrestling on a regular basis, then you’re probably well aware that Roman isn’t exactly loved in the United States, and if you don’t watch wrestling on a regular basis, what that means is he gets booed a lot.
During one of the recent events in Tokyo, Roman grabbed the mic and told the fans that he has great respect for their country, and he got a big pop followed by “thank you Roman” chants. You can see it for yourself in the video clip below.
