Roman Reigns was recently interviewed by Sporting News. This was in order to advertise his upcoming match at Summerslam against Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. During the interview, Roman was asked how he feels about the Universal Championship not being on television each week.
Reigns ended up explaining why its important for the Title to be on RAW each week and also at all of the live events.
Here is what he said:
“It’s killing us. It’s killing us. It makes for better storytelling. It would be a better product. It would be a better show. When you have the diamond that everybody’s chasing, it gives everybody a GPS of where they are and where they’re trying to be. Not only that, it’s a driving force for live events. It’s a driving force for our Friday, Saturday and Sunday (non-televised events) when we don’t have a network special or a pay-per-view. It’s important to have that thing hanging up in the locker room in a tiny town in South Dakota on a Friday when people are not motivated. A young talent comes in and says the champ’s in here and the title is hanging up. I want that. It motivates people in some many different regards and that’s what we need.
I’m to the point where I’ve won a bunch of different championships and the only reason I want that championship is because I haven’t won it and I want it on this roster. I want it at our shows. I want it in every town because it’s going to make everybody better”
