WWE Star Is Envious Of Roman Reigns For Particular Reason
Roman Reigns is being acknowledged by a former champion due to the way the fans react to The Tribal Chief.
When Roman Reigns made his return at WWE SummerSlam in Cleveland, he received one of the loudest crowd reactions of his career and perhaps one of the loudest reactions of all time.
What made that crowd reaction so interesting is that Reigns hasn’t appeared since losing the WWE Championship four months earlier at WrestleMania 40. The reason that Reigns was cheered so much is because Roman’s cousin Solo Sikoa claimed that he is the Tribal Chief of The Bloodline and has since attacked the likes of Jimmy Uso & Paul Heyman while also claiming that Reigns was never coming back.
Reigns made his presence felt at SummerSlam by hitting Solo with a Superman Punch and Spear, which led to Cody Rhodes hitting Solo with Cross Rhodes to retain the WWE Championship.
Logan Paul is a former WWE United States Champion who once challenged Reigns for the WWE Tile. While speaking to The Undertaker on Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, Paul said that he is jealous of a guy like Reigns who gets massive reactions from the audience without killing his body in a match.
“I’m envious of guys like Roman [Reigns] who don’t have to risk their entire body and health and wellness because people are so invested in the story [of The Bloodline]. It’s such a good note. That’s a veteran note, but that’s the hardest part. How can you tell that story to get people invested in who you are?”
The Undertaker, who is a WWE Hall of Famer who spent 30 years in the company as an active wrestler, assured Paul that it takes time to reach Roman Reigns’s level.
“It takes time, and especially somebody coming in at two, three years [ago]. At three years, I could barely lace my boots. There’s such a process, but it’s trial and error too.”
“You have to figure out what you want, because you want it to look natural, you want it to look real. I think a lot of times what happens are the guys, and I tell them this all the time, ‘You don’t look like a wrestler to me. You look like somebody trying to emulate a wrestler.’ You’re trying to be something that you’ve seen on TV.’”
“I don’t get that with you. I get Logan Paul. That’s what I get, and that’s awesome.”
