Roman Reigns Explains Whether Brock Lesnar Takes His Insults Seriously, Notes Their ‘WrestleMania 31’ Match

Roman Reigns was a guest on the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast where he spoke about facing Brock Lesnar at ‘WrestleMania 31’ and if he feels Lesnar takes his insults literally.

Given the recent promos by Reigns on WWE Television, one might wonder whether ‘The Beast Incarnate’ would take offense to the comments made in almost a shoot, yet scripted nature. Reigns clarified this for those fans wondering.

“I think it is all part of storytelling. It’s like the scene in Braveheart where they are all lined up for battle, wearing the blue face paint, but eventually, they send out the nobles to talk, and then William Wallace is prancing around in his horse and then he takes off and says that he is going to go pick a fight. That is the cool part of what we do; we can build up this story through verbal confrontation, but at the end of the day it has to come down to physical performance. I have been in a few different matches with Brock in different capacities, and then I have had the singles match at WrestleMania 31 in Santa Clara, California, but that is kind of what is cool about this. A lot of times what we do is very cerebral; but this one is very simple, get ready to hurt and get ready to get hit right back.”

To clarify this, Reigns is saying that he believes that Lesnar is on the same page as him – they are telling a story through both verbal communication and physical altercations and an eventual performance to end the feud at ‘WrestleMania 34’ on April 8.

Reigns is adamant that he and Lesnar will exceed the expectations fans have for them in the ‘WrestleMania’ match, given that they previously went one on one at ‘WrestleMania 31’ before Mr. Money in the Bank Seth Rollins cashed in to join the match, hit Reigns with the Curb Stomp and leave as WWE Champion.

“The match is the match. It’s one thing when you speak about it with four weeks, five weeks out, but if you saw what we did three years ago, you will have a general idea of how we go at it. I don’t see us giving you apples and changing the apples to give you a different fruit. We will do what works for us; we are both physical and both brawlers, and both not afraid to bang. So, hopefully with the physicality, and hopefully a great story, which is important to grasp that, to completely immerse themselves in it and get lost it in. I think what people will be able to take from it of whether or not someone is knocked out, and stretch the imagination and make people guess, whether it is professional wrestling or fighting. I think if we are blurring the lines, we are doing our job.”
