Four-time world champion shares conspiracy theory behind SmackDown mic botch; blames Roman Reigns
WWE star Sheamus was irate with the backstage crew after his mic malfunctioned this week on SmackDown and felt Roman Reigns was somehow responsible.
Sheamus returned to SmackDown this week after a vicious attack by The Bloodline a couple of weeks ago. The Celtic Warrior had some stern words for Reigns and the rest of his family, but his mic stopped working. The Brawling Brutes made the best of the situation and attacked their rivals. In the ensuing chaos, Drew McIntyre joined the fray and provided an equalizer for the Brutes.
Megan Morant caught up with The Brawling Brutes on this week's episode of SmackDown Lowdown. The Celtic Warrior mentioned that WWE should fire whoever was responsible for the upkeep of the microphones during the show. He suggested it could have been one of Roman Reigns' cronies playing games at the back.
"They should fire whoever's in charge of those microphones cuz [because] that was a bleeding botched job, probably done by Roman's mates in the back. Either way, the message is clear, that the start of the end of the Bloodline is at hand, and The Brawling Brutes are ready for war." [1:58 - 2:16]
