Identities of Roman Reigns’ Security Squad on March 28 SmackDown Revealed

WWE’s March 28 SmackDown from London just got a whole lot more interesting—and it has nothing to do with the contract signing.

According to Fightful Select, the security team for Roman Reigns’ epic WrestleMania Triple Threat contract segment was actually stacked with well-known UK wrestling names.

That’s right—those weren’t just nameless extras playing bodyguards. The group known on-screen as “The Romanettes” included standout talents like Ethan Allen, Damien Corvin, Shreddy, Elijah, Tate Mayfairs, Kid Lykos, Joe Kessler, Daz Black, Myles Kayman, Kez Evans, Will Kroos, Rampage Brown, and James Ellis.

For UK wrestling fans, this list reads like an indie dream team. Several of these names have made waves across Progress, ICW, RevPro, and other top UK promotions. Having them appear as Roman Reigns’ personal security at one of the biggest SmackDowns of the year? That’s a serious nod to the British scene.

Roman Reigns was in full Tribal Chief mode, soaking up the crowd’s love before declaring, “London, acknowledge me!” Fans roared in response, and even Paul Heyman jumped in chanting his name. Roman grinned and said, “That’s the whole OTC for you, baby. The biggest star on the planet.” With that same confidence, he signed the contract for the WrestleMania 41 main event against CM Punk and Seth Rollins.

Seth Rollins entered next, crowd singing his theme loud enough to match Roman’s pop. Rollins took shots at Roman’s ego, telling him he wasn’t the only reason WWE thrived, and reminding him of their shared Shield past. “We landed on the roof in a helicopter. We put The Undertaker through a table,” Rollins said. Roman didn’t flinch, telling Seth, “We died a long time ago. I’ve done all the work.”

CM Punk closed it out, mocking Roman with, “I came here to chew bubble gum and sign a contract—and I’m all out of bubble gum.” Heyman jumped in to remind Punk that this contract made him a WrestleMania main eventer for the first time in his career. Seth wasn’t having it, yelling that Punk didn’t deserve the spot. Punk shot back with a thank you to fans who stuck with him, and sarcastically thanked Roman for the opportunity—before saying “But that’s not the favor I’m owed.”

But behind all the verbal jabs and ego-driven drama, it was the presence of that handpicked group of UK wrestlers that really stood out. WWE’s use of actual in-ring talent for this role shows the company’s sharp eye on international talent—and gives fans more reason to pay attention to who’s standing ringside next time Roman walks out.

Big names, bigger moment, and a contract signing that set the stage for WrestleMania’s main event—now with even more depth thanks to the secret cast of stars.
