Roman Reigns was recently interviewed by Anthony Sulla-Heffinger of Yahoo Sports. This was in order to promote Summerslam on Sunday and his match against Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship.
During the interview, Reigns spoke about the WWE fans who dislike him, saying that they are “like closet lovers”.
Here is what he said:
“I think they’re like closet lovers to be honest. You can say whatever you want, but it’s how you say it that matters. The way they deliver it, they’re more connected to me than their so called ‘favorites.’ For me to be able to pull on whatever string I pull on, it just goes to show there’s a deep rooting there.
“[The crowd reaction] doesn’t really matter to me, as long as they’re really loud, that’s all I really care about. There could be certain moments where they try to hijack shows and all of that, but by the end of the match, they’re standing up so I’ve been blessed. I really do think that if they love to hate you, they still love you.”
