The Tribal Chief persona has been a massive success for Roman Reigns. While after separating from The Shield Reigns was majorly being portrayed as a babyface but the character never ever seemed to take off the way it did when Roman turned heel. While his heel proceeds to grow day by day with him signing a new contract with the company seemingly reveals that he is not going anywhere too soon.
As per the latest contract signed by Reigns he’ll stay in the company with comparatively less on screen appearances throughout the year. Though the transition from a babyface Reigns to Head of The Table took place at the time of Vince McMahon but the huge success of the persona certainly tells that Reigns will remain as the top heel even under the new management.
Roman Reigns says he runs the show on his own terms
Vince McMahon had resigned from all his posts on July 22 after allegations of paying hush money to ex-employees for maintaining silence on sexual misconduct. Ex- Talent Relations Manager John Laurinatis was also fired quietly over his alleged role in the matter. Now, in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated Media Podcast Roman Reigns said that he doesn’t necessarily care who is controlling the creative process of the company.
Reigns said– “I don’t care who’s running the show, in my mind, I’m running the show and as long as I continue to push myself and bring my very best performance every single week it don’t matter if it’s Vince, Triple H, Nick [Khan], Stephanie, Amazon, Disney, Heyman.” He said that his legacy cannot be undone for what he has done in the past year just because of a change in the management.
Reigns said that he has continuously been a vital part of developing his character and his worked closely with the creatives to build it. Reigns gave an example of recent incident that how he told Triple H before going on the mic to confront Theory of Vince McMahon’s exit when he said- “Your dad isn’t here anymore” to Theory in a promo.
He said that he told Triple H about the line and The Game gave it a thumbs up as he thought it would be perfect for the character. Roman Reigns is all set to go one in one with Drew McIntyre to defend his Undisputed Universal Champion at Clash at The Castle premium live event to be held on September 3.
