Go back to the WWE locker room and change your shirt — that’s the message more than 2,500 people have sent (sort of) loud and (sort of) clear to Superstar Roman Reigns.
The pro grappler, whose real name is Joe Anoaʻi, is known for wearing signature body armor in the form of a reinforced vest that many followers think is tantamount to cheating. A Change.org petition launched Tuesday campaigning to ban Reigns’ “illegal” gear reached its 2,500 signature goal on Friday.
“Roman Reigns has been systematically breaking the rules of Admiral-Lord Mountevans Unified Rules of Professional Wrestling through the use of illegal body armor to protect himself during the course of matches with legitimately dressed competitors, and has been doing so throughout his career,” the petition claims.
