– Roman Reigns recently spoke with the Chad Dukes Wrestling Show. Here are some highlights:
Chemistry between The Shield:
“It was strange because, we’ve spent a lot of time together don’t get me wrong but, just some things are natural, you know what I mean, and lot of times in groups you’ll have a lot of similar guys, but for us I think what makes it so perfect is we’re all so different. Of course we have some things that are in common, we have a lot of likeness, but if you look at us, the three of us, we just took a bunch of opposites, and we just put ‘em all together, and the puzzles fit perfectly. It came with a lot of time together, a lot of traveling together, and getting to know each other, but a lot of it is, it worked out naturally, we all have the same goal and we’re all willing to do what it takes to work towards it.”
Their confrontation with The Wyatt Family:
“We kinda knew that type of situation would work out. We’ve had no TV time, no interaction with those guys, but all it took was a little bit of physicality, and a face off in the ring. And like you said, the magic, if you could feel it on TV, if you were in that arena, if you were in the O2 (Manchester’s arena), in the middle of it, it wasn’t like being in a hurricane where it was calm, I mean we were in the middle of it, and it was crazy. The crowd was awesome, and that’s an opportunity I think that’s still there.”
Total Divas cameras always being around:
“I’ll literally be getting dressed or something, I turn the corner, and WHAM there’s the cameras. ‘Ah, they got me again.’ It’s like Where’s Waldo, you never know where they’re gonna be. And for me when I’m backstage, preparing, getting ready, it’s not something I wanna be bothered with. So sometimes you’ll just randomly hear guys cursing, like that’s gonna get them off of the show, like they can’t use that scene or something because, ‘there’s that guy, he’s just cussing in the background. A lot of guys just, they all just duck their heads and walk off. So that’s something that we deal with but that’s the world of entertainment.”
The Shield’s future:
“I think as long as I’m in The Shield, no matter what I do if it’s in a team standpoint or individual standpoint, it’s all good for The Shield because it brings a spotlight to The Shield. No matter who’s doing good or whatever we’re doing, as long as we’re doing our thing and dominating it’s good for The Shield. If Dean, if he wins the IC and combines both of them, that’s awesome for The Shield. If me and Dean win the tag team titles, that’s awesome for The Shield. If I’m the WWE Heavyweight Championship holder, that’s awesome for The Shield.”
