Roman Reigns Says that He Wants to be WWE Champion

Roman Reigns says that he wants to be WWE Champion. In a recent interview between the explosive member of the Shield and Ted Gruber of Chicago Now, Reigns claims that he plans on reigning at the WWE Champion five years from now.

In speaking about his WWE Championship hopes, Reigns says,

“In five years I want to be WWE Champion. It’s simple as that. If somebody else told you something else, they would be lying to you. I will be riding in a private plane called ‘Roman Air’ or ‘Roman Empire’. No matter what the plane is called, I will have gold around my waist.”

Reigns also discusses his current role as a member of the Shield, saying,

“I can’t say enough about Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. Those guys have busted their ass in the independent circuit. We were all on the same page because we were all hungry. We all wanted to be the best and that will never change. We have a strict regimen; workout, eat and wrestle. Sometimes we sleep but in the end we do it together.

Even though I’m part of the Shield, I’m still my own individual wrestler.  Deon Sanders was on a team his entire career, but he was still him. When it comes to comes to team fighting I will be there ready to roll but again I’m still me. There’s a lot of strong personalities in this business and I’m right there at the forefront.”

Whatever path I’m put on either with a group of guys or by myself I won’t change my mindset. That’s how I was born and raised doing anything.”

Reigns also provides comments in regards to certain members of the WWE Universe claiming that he needs drastic help on cutting promos. Using communicative skills on the microphone can be used as an advantage for a WWE star to get over with the company’s fan base, and some of them are saying that Reigns has not found the ability to do so yet. Reigns responds to these claims saying,

“I’ve never been bothered about what a fan thinks. That’s their prerogative, that’s their opinion. Everybody can see what I am doing in ring, but people will still criticize me. I am a student of the game, so I’m working on things every day. If it’s not physical it’s mental and cutting promos is mental. Anytime I’m thinking about wrestling, I’m going to run thoughts through my head to improve myself in all areas.”
