Roman Reigns Reveals Truth About His Relationship With Vince McMahon

Roman Reigns has opened up about what his relationship with ex-WWE boss Vince McMahon is really like.

Roman Reigns might be Vince McMahon’s last top guy in WWE. McMahon pushed Reigns to the moon in the mid-2010s despite significant backlash from fans.

Ironically, it was when Reigns finally turned heel into his Tribal Chief character in 2020 that things really began to change for him and he undoubtedly reached heights in WWE that few have ever hit before.

Vince McMahon is no longer WWE boss, and his reputation is in tatters after a sexual abuse lawsuit was filed against him that ultimately led to his demise in the company he led for four decades.

Roman Reigns Not As Close To Vince McMahon As Other WWE Top Guys

Speaking on What’s Your Story? with Stephanie McMahon, Roman Reigns opened up about what his relationship was really like with Vince McMahon and why it was different from previous generations of WWE’s top stars:

That’s who I cut my teeth doing business with, negotiating with was your dad, and that’s how I feel, I’m not intimidated by anybody anymore. I had to get used to him, we had to learn each other’s ways but I’m the youngest of all his top guys so I didn’t have that relationship that the other guys were afforded at the time.

But compared to everyone else, Hogan, Steve, Dwayne, those guys, I don’t think I got as much of his time, but I was picking up as much knowledge as I could. He may not even realise it but there’s still things he told me that I continue to use, I tore completely out of his playbook.
