Can we talk about the ridiculous Roman Reigns no-sell at Mania?

By Scott Keith on 7th April 2023


Hi, Scott.

I know people are more focused on the fact that Cody lost at WrestleMania, but why aren't enough people outraged about the fact that Roman Reigns literally ate a Disaster Kick, a solid Bionic Elbow, the Goldust drop slap thingie and then TWO Cross Rhodes as well – and then immediately no-sold everything by running the ropes twice and hitting the spear to win?

Did Solo's Samoan Spike to Cody send healing shockwaves into Roman Reigns that all the pain just went away?

We're talking about two signatures, and three finishers here.

I've seen some epic no-sells in my life, but this one has to be right up there!

What do you think?
I think that just falls under the general suspension of disbelief in wrestling that allows you to take a piledriver and then pop up with a devastating clothesline before you fall down unconscious.
