He said that Roman Reigns was ordered to apologize before the entire locker room before he was sent back to home on the last Monday Night he was seen.
The incident received a mixed reaction. While some think it was needed, the other portion thinks there was no need of humiliation like this. Apparently, the order came from WWE senior talent relationship manager, Mark Carrano which indicates that Triple H was behind all of this and not Vince McMahon.
