It all originated from a reddit thread from (r/squaredcircle) that has transformed into an online petition. The beef is that Roman Reigns wears illegal body armor in his matches and should be forced to remove it. The thread has blown up with over 3000 upvotes and has now become a running joke with 2,500 signatures on the online petition.

If you watched in the main event of RAW this week, you saw Kevin Owens going for a chop in the corner on Reigns. Reigns was not phased by the chop and Owens himself was injured. This had one reddit user ‘outraged’ that he was using illegal equipment like the military uses.
Here is what it says on the change.org website:
“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. We require swift action that prohibits the use of this body armor in all future WWE contests by Mr. Reigns and anyone else” (Source: Change.org).
