WWE Universal Champion "The Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns recently spoke with Jimmy Traina on the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast, where he discussed his current personas and how fans have been wanting him to face his cousin and WWE legend, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Roman Reigns said:
“Well, I think we have a critical ingredient to throw back into the bowl of sports entertainment, but I’ll leave you with this question, do we do it now, or do we wait till we’re in his backyard of Hollywood.” “It adds to the narrative, adds another dynamic to speculate on. I think, obviously, AT&T Stadium, Dallas, home of the Cowboys, 100,000 plus fans could be in attendance, that’s obviously an awesome scenario, but So-Fi Stadium, brand new facility out there in LA, that makes quite the argument in its own right.”
Roman Reigns then talked about his match against WWE COO Triple H at WrestleMania 32 where he speared Stephanie McMahon as well as the reaction of Stephanie and how well she took it.
Roman Reigns said:
“She took it like a champ. She did a great job, and I didn’t really pull any of the physicality out.” “She took a full-on spear, and that’s how you should do it in the main event of WrestleMania. She was obviously a little bit sore and not very happy about that, but I think everybody after a main event of a WrestleMania is ecstatic of going through that process, and the adrenaline rush of the performance and then also celebrating a phenomenal moment with the live audience, everybody watching at home.”
“It was one of those things that I think she got over really quickly and enjoyed the success of being a part of that main event with her husband, Triple H. And then also I think, for her to be a part of that performance with her own father watching on, Vince McMahon, and seeing this whole spectacle go down and watching her be a part of the greatest live event in entertainment history, it was a special moment, I think for everybody. I’ll say she wasn’t ecstatic, but I think she was happy with the moment, to be a part of that”
