WWE Releases Storyline Update on Roman Reigns Attack on Smackdown

— WWE released the following storyline update on the attack on Roman Reigns this past Tuesday on Smackdown. As noted yesterday, WWE appears to be internally planning for his attacker to be revealed as Daniel Bryan, which would set up a match between the two at SummerSlam in just over a week.

In the final moments of this week’s SmackDown LIVE, Roman Reigns was intending to make a SummerSlam challenge from the backstage area, but The Big Dog just barely evaded sheer catastrophe when tons of steel beams came plummeting toward him.

A preliminary investigation has found the incident Tuesday night involving Roman Reigns was caused by a forklift backstage carrying lighting grids that were not properly secured.

Update to story – 10:40 a.m. ET
It has now been determined that the incident in question was specifically caused by a forklift driver error.

Update to story – 12:10 p.m. ET
At this point, the identity of the forklift driver has not been determined.
