Roman Reigns was recently a guest on the new WWE podcast, After The Bell. During the interview, Reigns spoke on a wide variety of topics with Corey Graves.
One of the most interesting parts was when they discussed Seth Rollins and his current crowd reaction. Reigns is someone who has experience with the WWE Universe turning on him.
Here is what Roman said (h/t to Wrestling INC for the quotes below):
“We’ve talked very briefly but just the way with our travel, it’s really separated us. We’re both out to conquer but we have to hold it down for our respective sides. With Seth, he knows what to do. He knows what to do in the ring and how to carry himself. It’s just a matter of riding it out.
“This is a situation where sometimes it’s, ‘What have you done for me lately?’ You just have to go out the next night and kill it and continue to kill it. That’s all that matters – just bust your ass and work hard. The cream always rises to the top and that’s something Cena told me a long time ago. Don’t go out there and stink it up. Have a good match and at the end of the day our fans are passionate but they have respect for what we do…
“Seth is a pro wrestling guy and he’s never going to go anywhere. He’s always had the dream of WWE and a little bit of a roller coaster isn’t gonna scare him away.”
Reigns added the following about what he is focused on now:
“If me and Seth ever have a big match and there will be a point where we hit a big double down late in the match – we’re both laid out and selling and you can feel the energy. Those are the moments you chase. We both hear this amazing response and it makes it all so worth it. The addiction to the reaction is where I’m at now and just continuing to pay back the locker room and the company that’s done so much for me.
“If there’s a way to help out younger talent or bring anybody up, we should always be doing that. Just being able to create new Superstars and push this product even further and show different sides what we do within our genre of entertainment. And continue to blow things up with FOX – that’s where I’m at nowadays. Just help out wherever I can.”
