Brock Lesnar faced off against Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 31 for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The match has become famous for Seth Rollins cashing-in his Money In The Bank contract to walk away with the title.
Roman Reigns was recently a guest on Talk is Jericho where he spoke about that match in detail. He says that Brock and Paul Heyman were not very open to ideas while discussing the match and wanted to essentially squash him.
Here is what Reigns said:
“No, it wasn’t easy, by any means. But the thing I had a lot of confidence in is I knew it was just going to be a fight. I knew it was going to be brutal and I like that s***. Like, hey, if you want to bang, I’m all for it. I’m never scared. But it was just weird. It really was. It was last-minute. It was one of those deals where it wasn’t a lot of talking, didn’t seem open to ideas because, essentially, in their minds, and when I say ‘their minds’ I say Brock and Paul, which, that is a powerful pairing right there.”
He continued:
“But those two, they’re something else. They wanted to kill me. They were convinced however many people were there eighty [thousand], whatever, they wanted to see me get crushed. They were there and they just want to see Roman get his ass beat. And I can’t disagree with them, but brother [has] got to fight. Hey, you can kick my ass all you want, but I’m going to fight.”

Reigns would say that he respects Lesnar and everything that he has accomplished. He also says it is probably the best match of his career but not his personal favorite.
