“Yeah yeah. We knew he had a little bit of background from his family, you know, The Rock and all that family background. But I didn’t know anybody, I don’t think anybody knew that going from playing football to will go to wrestling, and he will be the star he is. Although this hair is really a star.”

Expressing his happiness for “The Tribal chief” he had said that he is happy for reigns and acknowledged his football career.

“I’m going to contact them when they come to Atlanta or Michigan. I actually connected with him a year or two ago, right before COVID, it’s been a while now. But no, let him do that guy. It’s terrifying to watch, just to see that thing take over. I mean, though that was Joe. Joe was pretty good at what he did while playing on the football field, so I don’t expect anything less was.”

Since his win at RAW, the following night after WrestleMania against lesnar, Roman Reigns wrestled against Drew McIntyre in May at a live event, which he won. Thereafter Roman hasn’t been seen in WWE as of yet, it’s been speculated that “The Tribal Chief” would return at SummerSlam and face a WWE legend.
