Roman Reigns May Look Different At WWE Royal Rumble

The WWE color commentator pointed out the former Undisputed WWE Champion’s physical transformations over the years, asking him which version of himself would appear in Riyadh.

Roman Reigns teased having a thicker build going into tomorrow’s match. Meanwhile, he disclosed plans to get in better shape heading into WrestleMania 42.

We’re always strong no matter, and that’s just genetics, and that’s from a lot of work. That’s compounded time in the gym. So, we’re always strong. But yeah, we can always come in a little tighter. It just depends. This is the Royal Rumble. You know, the objective of the game is to not get thrown out. So, you wanna have a good low center of gravity. You gotta be able to squat down and hold on to that rope if need be. But it’s the same for me. Wreck everybody and leave. The Jets gonna be fired up, ready to get me up out of here.

But yeah, I mean, I’ve been working. We’re coming off of winter break, you know what I mean? October Fest, right into holiday season, so, you know, we’ve been grinding it out, but I’m a human, you know what I mean? But we’ll look all right. We’ll look all right. But we going into Mania, that’s the beauty of this is we have so much time to ‘Mania. So, we’re just gonna cruise right in and be comfortable. [3:33 onwards]
