Roman Reigns and John Cena have been going back and forth on the microphone for the past several weeks on RAW. Both guys have been trying to get the better of one another in the war of words leading up to their match at No Mercy.
One of these verbal exchanges saw John Cena make fun of Roman for his zipper being broken. Reigns improvised quickly by saying: “I busted it actually..big dog”.
Reigns was a guest on the ‘In This Corner’ podcast hosted by CBS Sports . He provided some back story on his zipper malfunction and his ‘Big Dog’ comment.
Here is what he said:
“The funny thing is, my zipper literally broke like two minutes before I was walking out. Usually I do a last-minute check. Do I have boogers in my nose? Any like weird hair conditioner on my ears? Is my zipper up? I kind of push and normally you’ll check your zipper to make sure the teeth are right in place. I actually pushed right through it. The actual zipper handle popped off, and once that happens, you have to go out there in two minutes. It’s not like I’m just wearing trunks or something. I’ve got blousing straps at the bottom, and I would have to take everything off in order to get new pants on”
Reigns says that it shocked him that Cena brought it up but he was luckily able to think of a quick response:
“John being John, if anything presents itself, which I feel is fair game if it’s there to take it, and he did. Luckily, that’s one thing of just over the years going back and forth in locker rooms, I have a quick rebuttal with little things like that. It was just something that, thank God I was ready for it, but really he shocked me in bringing up. I thought I had it closed up the whole time but apparently not. I was peaking at him, I guess.”
Reigns also explained what his relationship is like with Cena backstage, which you can check out here.
