Roman Reigns Talks Feuding with Vince on WWE TV, Life Outside of WWE, Pressure of Being “The Man” in WWE as World Champ, More

CraveOnline: You’re feuding with the legendary Vince McMahon. What’s it like to work with him and to see him come out on camera as your foe?

Roman Reigns: It’s cool. It’s totally different. It’s totally different than being in there conversing with any other superstar or any “bad guy.” He is probably going to be the best “bad guy” of all-time.  He’s as good as it gets when it comes to being a jerk. It was an absolute pleasure just to be able to tell my grandkids, “Yep. I Superman Punched Vince McMahon right in the face twice.” You can put that on my mantle.

CraveOnline: When you’re not in the ring and you’re on the road, what are you doing? Do you have any hobbies or guilty pleasures?

Roman Reigns: I’ve been on the road for over 3 years; the main thing when you’re on the road is you have to keep yourself comfortable. Make yourself feel like you’re at home because you’re not so you have to treat yourself a little bit and create a process that is going to help you to be able to do this every week. For me it’s not just traveling comfortable. I’m not in a bus or anything like that. I like to always have an SUV so whomever I’m traveling with we can always be comfortable. It’s important that you book a decent hotel because we spend a lot of time in these places so you have to be comfortable and treat yourself and take care of yourself. My body is the only body I have. This body has to carry me through and push through hopefully many, many more years to come.

You’re “the man” now and you’re running with the ball. Do you feel pressure to be the face of WWE or are you embracing it?

Roman Reigns: I think there is pressure in anything we do in life. As a man, I feel pressure to provide and create a lifestyle and a future for my family. When it comes to representing the WWE, I don’t like calling myself the “face of WWE” because we have so many faces and so many superstars. We are a team, we’re a roster and we’re a locker room. It absolutely takes every man to make this ship sail. At the end of the day, all I can be is me. I’m not John Cena.
