Roman Reigns Issues Statement On Backstage Incident On SmackDown Live

Last week on SmackDown Live Roman Reigns was getting ready to do an interview backstage when some steel beams came crashing down on him.

WWE later posted a storyline update saying that it was discovered during an investigation that the incident was caused by a “forklift driver error” but that the identity of the forklift driver has not been revealed.

Roman Reigns has now issued a statement of his own, as The Big Dog posted the following:

“At this time I think the #SDLive incident was a mistake by the crew, which I love and respect. I respect the machine and the team that builds it and I understand mistakes happen.”

“People will speculate, people will talk, but until proven otherwise, I’m considering it an accident. #SDLive”
