Roman Reigns was interviewed by The Edmonton Sun. Here are some highlight:
Winning the WWE Title:
“I think once you’ve had the title, that’s all you really think about,” he said. “It’s weird to say, I’m a two-time champion — hopefully three-time after Dallas — there is huge enjoyment to have that title on your shoulder, to travel the whole world to defend it every single night in a different town, all over the country, all over the world. To be able to have that responsibility, there’s nothing like it.”
Not making it in the NFL:
“I tried to find that NFL team … you’re always searching, you’re looking for that team, that team that’s going to change your life. For me, WWE was my team. It just took me a while to find that and to realize it, but they’ve always been there since the day I was born.”
If wrestling ever wasn’t an option for him:
“I can only speak from my experience and no, there was no way to avoid it.”
