Live footage of Sheamus putting Roman Reigns through a table at a WWE live event in Baltimore on December 30, 2015. You can see part of the table smash him in the nose.
After going through the table, you can see that Sheamus noticed he was hurt, and they whisper something to each other during the pin. I didn’t catch the aftermath on video, but Roman’s nose was bleeding, so the referee had to put gloves on to check him out. Sheamus stalled by taunting the crowd. After a minute, the ref cleared Roman to continue and they finished the match.
I don’t know if Roman broke his nose or what, but he seemed pretty frustrated about it, sighing and cursing to himself. You can see from the photo at the end that his nose was injured to some degree.
Ever since this happened, Roman has had a scar on the bridge of his nose. Look at any closeup footage of his face taken since 12/30/15 and you can see it.

Video examples where you can see a faint scar on the bridge of his nose just like in the photo above:

I believe his recent nose surgery, which in kayfabe was because of the beating he took from Triple H on RAW on 2/22/16, was actually related to the injury he sustained in this video.
