Stone Cold Gives Roman Reigns Advice About Being WWE’s Top Guy

Stone Cold Steve Austin knows a thing or two about being WWE’s top star. He’s arguably the biggest superstar the company has ever had. So, his opinion or advice is of great value to a young star like Roman Reigns who is just now becoming a top guy for WWE after having a spectacular 2015.

On Wade Keller’s PWTorch Livecast, Stone Cold appeared for an interview and had a lot to say about Reigns’ position in WWE. You can listen to the full interview right here. Below is what Austin said:

“With [Reigns] being champion, it’s going to remain to be seen how they book this guy. You’re talking about a guy whose work has really improved, but he’s got to be more aggressive and he’s gotta have a sense of urgency. Now, he’s defending that belt, not chasing it, but he’s still pretty green in that regard, especially with respect to holding a championship belt. Man, he’s really got some pressure on him with the fact that now he is the champion. Right now, he is their number one guy.

All of a sudden when you become that top guy or get that belt, it’s put up or shut up. It’s always good to have a goal, but when all of a sudden you’ve been kind-of prematurely pushed and kind-of rejected and then all of a sudden you’re the guy, now the pressure is on more than ever. All he’s got to do is shine, but the bottom line is he’s got to shine. He’s got to make chicken salad out of chicken scratch.”
