There is some speculation that there is real-life heat between WWE Superstars Roman Reigns and The Big Show stemming from a punch that went awry during Monday's episode of RAW.

According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, Reigns may have knocked one of the Big Show's teeth out when he hit him with the Superman Punch on the WWE's flagship show Monday night at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
Reigns interrupted Fandango, who was taunting guest general manager Chris Jericho about his Slammy Award and the leader of the "Roman Empire" laid out the dancing WWE Superstar.

The Big Show then came out for a confrontation that stemmed from Reigns laying him out this past Sunday at TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs (and stairs) in Cleveland. Reigns then said that if Big Show comes in the ring, he'd punch him out.
Show then climbed on the apron and was knocked off by the Superman Punch, allegedly dislodging one of his teeth and leading to Show throwing a fit and hurling the steel steps.
It seemed to be part of the show, but a couple of gifs have reached the internet and they seem to show a heated exchange between the two WWE Superstars.
WWE announcer Jerry "The King" Lawler said he believed he saw a tooth fly out of Show's mouth following the punch, and the giant Superstar seemed to definitely suffer a mouth injury after being hit.
As Show was backing away on the aisle, he yelled something at Reigns that was picked up by a few fans at ringside and on television.
"You punch like a b---h," Show yelled at Reigns.
Reigns then responded in an angry fashion.
"You look like a b---h," he shouted toward Show.

The actions could be part of the angle between the two, but there are at least some people who believe Show was legitimately upset after the stiff punch.
Reigns won the Superstar of the Year Slammy Award earlier this month, but had been sidelined since Sept. 20 when he was rushed to the hospital and forced to undergo hernia surgery.
Reigns' bout with Seth Rollins at Night of Champions the following night had to be postponed and the Superstar didn't return to action until Tuesday night's live WWE SmackDown where he defeated Fandango.
Now that he's back in action, Reigns is expected to be a major part of the WWE's storylines going forward. Reigns helped John Cena thwart off The Big Show's interference and Seth Rollins' attack during the Tables Match between Cena and Rollins at TLC last Sunday.
Reigns then announced that he will be in the Royal Rumble Match on Jan. 25 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, a bout he is expected to win.
Reigns is expected to then go onto WrestleMania 31 on March 29 at Levi's Stadium in the Bay Area and defeat Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
It's unknown for sure, but there seemed to be some differences between Reigns and The Big Show during Monday's episode of RAW.
