Roman Reigns spoke with Sporting News to promote WrestleMania 32. Here are the highlights.
I know it’s been talked about so much, everything that went down last year from the Royal Rumble to WrestleMania to now. What’s the biggest thing you’ve learned over the last year when it comes to your journey in the WWE and leading up to this match?
I think just taking everything in stride. Being a WWE performer and doing all the different things we get to do, it can wear on you and you can learn a lot of stuff about yourself. For me, it always reminds me to just stay humble. Just be yourself, love what you do and enjoy the ride. Before you know it, I’m not going to be able to tie these boots up and do what I do in the ring for my whole life. We’re all getting older so I’m trying to live in the moment and enjoy everything that’s being thrown at me.
These are going to be some of the most avid WWE fans from around the world at WrestleMania. What do you think your reception is going to be when you come out?
Loud. Very very loud.
Do you think it’s going to be negative?
It will be probably both. I get a pretty good mixed reaction but whatever I’m doing, they seem to be pretty loud. So whether it’s cheers or boos, that’s what one thing I can typically count on. They’re going to be stirred up no matter what.
Outside of your match, what’s the one thing in particular that you’re looking forward to seeing on this show?
The whole card. And not only that, not just the wrestling matches because we have so many great ones. We have Brock Lesnar taking on Dean Ambrose in a street fight. You say street fight, Brock Lesnar, Dean Ambrose —that just says it all there. We have a Hell in a Cell with Shane-O-Mac (Shane McMahon) and The Undertaker. That alone is just a phenomenal match and should be a hell of a story. We also have performances. It’s so much more than just wrestling. We have outside performers coming in, musicians, artists. So it’s always a cool opportunity to meet new people and be surprised. I’m not sure of everything that’s going to happen. It’s that big that we can’t know everything. I’m looking forward to it.
