F4Wonline.com noted in an update that the story is accurate in the sense that Reigns was upset after being “popped” by Owens at one point. Reigns was slapped by Owens during the incident.
Reigns had visible bruising under his left eye, and there was speculation about a possible broken eardrum, but this has yet to be confirmed.
According to the original report, there is no real heat between Owens and Reigns coming out of the weekend. While Reigns was upset, the situation had blown over twenty minutes later, and there were no lingering issues, according to the update.
Reigns was supposed to appear with Paul Heyman at the post-Survivor Series press conference, but Sami Zayn took his place.
