Roman Reigns Talks the Royal Rumble Match, Vince Returning to WWE TV, Possible NXT Entrants in the Rumble, Sting in the HOF, More

Mike Jones from DC101 in Washington, DC spoke with Roman Reigns today about the Royal Rumble PPV, Vince returning to WWE TV, possible NXT entrants in the Rumble match, his thoughts on Sting in the WWE Hall of Fame and more. Below are some interview highlights, and you can listen to it in full in the player below:

On being WWE World Heavyweight Champion:

“It’s a dream. It’s an honor. It’s a great responsibility and it’s cool because it helps you evolve, it helps you break the mold of what you were doing. After chasing it for so long, to have it on my shoulder, now I’m pushing it, now I’m taking it to the next level, I’m trying to reach grounds that I didn’t think I could reach.”

On the odds of winning the Royal Rumble:

“I’m not just in there with one guy, like you said. I’m in there with 29 other dudes who are trying to take what’s mine and I’ll be damned. Screw that, I’m not going to be the biggest loser. They’re going to have to knock me out and drag me out of there. Brock’s going to have to German me into the stands to get me out.”

On Sting’s being in WWE in 2015 and now going to the HOF:

“To be in this business for as long as he has, that’s a great testament to himself. To his work ethic, his passion, to his will to stay in shape and to continue to push himself physically and mentally. I think it was a great opportunity and I hope I get to see him many more times because he was an absolute gentleman and it was such a positive experience every time I met him.”

On NXT Guys possible showing up on Sunday:

“You got your Finn Balors, your Samoa Joes, your Sami Zayns, those journeymen, the guys who have been at it in this business for such a long time. It’s such a great opportunity for them to sink their teeth in and reap the benefits of all their hard work. But, that being said, if they come in my ring, debut or not, I’m going to send their ass flying over that top rope. That’s the way it’s gotta be.”
