Newsweek recently interviewed WWE Superstar Roman Reigns and asked the former WWE Champion whether he would like to be represented by Brock Lesnar’s advocate Paul Heyman,

“Nah I like talking for myself. That’s one thing I want too, just a little longer promos you know what I mean? Just me and the mic that would be nice. Do a lot of interactive promos in the ring and stuff like that. That’s how you grow and it’ll be cool to get those long, solo promos. Working with Paul, there’s nothing wrong with just sitting there like a boss and let your attorney do the talking. Let him talk the logistics,and I’m sure Paul won’t have a problem reading off my resume, it’ll take awhile but he’s pretty good with stuff like that. But I would still want to talk for myself, 100 percent.”

Reigns was also asked how this SummerSlam match against Universal Champion Brock Lesnar would be any different from his previous encounters with The Beast,

“That gets thrown around a lot. It’s funny because we haven’t wrestled that much. We’ve only had the three, two being regular matches and the other being in a cage. The others were in multi-man matches like the Fatal Four Way last year at SummerSlam and the Triple Threat with [Dean] Ambrose at Fastlane a couple of years ago. But being in there with an athlete like Brock regardless if it’s WWE or MMA, he is an unpredictable and powerful character and athlete. So you always have to be careful in there because he’s strong, and can throw you very far. When you haven’t been in the ring with him that often, and he’s not around as often, that can always be a concern.”

Reigns also commented on the level of respect he has for his SummerSlam opponent,

“He doesn’t get credit. He did years ago; but for his age, to be in the back of his athletic career it’s very impressive to see the shape he maintains, the explosive power that he holds. That takes a lot. You see guys like [John] Cena posting workout videos all the time and that’s what you have to do to stay at that elite level. And Brock still has that. He’s a smart businessman in what he does and he’s turned “Brock Lesnar” into a complete character now in the past month or so. It’s pretty neat to see how he can pinball between UFC and WWE and still have that power. It’s insane.”
