Roman Reigns on If The Shield Had Not Split Up, His Goals in WWE and More

WWE superstar Roman Reigns recently sat down for an interview with Slam! Wrestling to promote “Monday Night Raw” in Montreal tonight.

Here are some of the highlights:

The Shield Split

“I could have really seen The Shield closing down every single show for the next three years. I think we had that ability and that we were that hot,” Reigns told SLAM! Wrestling. “I think it’s an understatement that the vast majority of the fans loved The Shield. But we didn’t have too many opponents left to face. Possibly the Wyatts, but you can’t really go above Evolution, especially after beating them twice. Between myself, Dean and Seth, we’re doing the exact same thing The Shield was doing, but we’re doing it on our own now.”

Goals in WWE

“I always watch, learn, see what works and then make it my own and make it better than anybody would ever imagine it would be. I want to raise the bar, to be the actual best performer, to be the best man possible, to be the biggest WWE superstar the world’s ever seen,” he explained. “Those are my goals. I want to be the top guy, to run this company, to run the locker room and just make this product better in general.”

Working in FCW/NXT

“It definitely helped. I’ve always been the kind of guy who was thrown in the fire. I was always been able to learn pretty fast,” remembered Reigns. “It taught me all the basics that I needed to know, taught me a lot of things about being in the locker room, around the boys, the producers and the office.”
