Roman Reigns Addresses Rumors Of Facing The Rock At WrestleMania

Believe that. Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns was recently a guest on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, where he discussed a number of topics. The biggest was the rumors circulating that he would be facing The Rock at WrestleMania.

Below is what Reigns had to say:

“That’s been the rumors — there’s been a huge buzz on that for a long time now. I mean for years now. But it’s really picked up in the last couple of years.

“I believe he just came out with a statement saying that he’s not gonna be ready in time, which — that’s the kind of face everyone’s making, like, ‘Hold on, he trains every single day… He’s huge!’

“To his defense, it’s one thing to train with weights, and the bodybuilding to look the part. But to be able to get in the ring and do a main event match — a championship match, an Undisputed WWE Universal championship match — it takes a lot of conditioning. It beats up your body.

“So there’s more that goes into it than just training in the weight room… it’s a professional athlete type of situation where you have to condition, you have to — you know, he does two out of the three things perfectly. His nutrition and his weight training is on point, but you have to condition yourself And you’ve gotta be ready to be ready to fall down. You’re never gonna get away from that.”

“That’s number one, Dwayne. When you’re going up against Roman Reigns, you better get ready to fall down.”

He also addresses wanting to be a football player growing up, Sami Zayn, facing Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble and then plays a game of Password!
