Roman Reigns Confirms RAW-Netflix Premiere Appearance, Talks Bloodline Storyline, More – Roman Reigns recently confirmed his involvement in the Netflix premiere of WWE RAW, set to debut in January, during an appearance on the SI Media Podcast with Jimmy Traina. Reigns provided insight into his schedule for the groundbreaking transition and shared thoughts on the evolution of The Bloodline storyline.
Key Highlights from the Podcast:
On if he’ll be featured on Netflix throughout next year: “I’m not exactly sure. I’m just trying to get to the premiere. I’m on the premiere. I don’t think I can share too much more than that at this point. We haven’t scheduled my exact dates for going into WrestleMania from Rumble forward, but that is definitely a topic that has to be addressed. It’s an understandable one for the impact, the amount of money that is part of this deal. I completely understand. These are all great problems to have. Nobody loves being in the tug of war more than me. It usually works out pretty good.”
On the Bloodline story continuing after so long: “People laughed at us a while back, it may have been me or Paul, but the whole baseball innings thing. It was maybe a year or so ago I thought, ‘We’re stretching it,’ but we’re not at this point. It’s a whole new vision. I forget where I was diving today, but visualizing what it could be in the next two years, what could be in the next three years. Blocking these things off just a year chunk at a time. Honestly, it wouldn’t be possible if we weren’t where we are now, the creative freedom, the collaboration we have, our leadership being Triple H, Nick Khan, the way he runs it on the business side. Also, having that trust, not only Triple H, but the rest of us, it just trickles down. To be able to have that trust in us to perform and go out there and do it like we do it.”
