When Heyman and Reigns asked for questions from the media, they didn’t like the underwhelming response from the reporters. Reigns asked everyone in the crowd to acknowledge him. However, when a female reporter booed at him, he had enough and asked the reporter to leave the conference. He threatened to walk out if the reporter didn’t leave and eventually had her kicked out. Reigns said at the press conference (via WWE):
“Leave. I’m serious. The lady with the glasses. Get her out. You get her out or I’m leaving.”

What Happened At Roman Reigns’ WrestleMania Match On Night One?
The tag team match between Roman Reigns & The Rock and Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins was supposed to follow all the regular rules. However, the match was fought all around the arena. When referee Chad Patton tried to disqualify them for going outside the ring, The Rock threatened to fire him. This rule change may have turned the tides of the match in favor of the Bloodline cousins.
The Rock put on some drama for the viewers when he grabbed the championship belt and went straight to Rhodes’ mother, who then shouted“Bullshit”at him. Rhodes countered The Rock’s People’s Elbow with the Cody Cutter at one point. He attempted to follow up with the Cross Rhodes, but Reigns took him down with a Superman Punch. Reigns went for the Spear against Rhodes, but he was pushed out of the way by Rollins at the last minute.
