Roman Reigns: The Shit I Think And The Shit I Say Matters

Roman Reigns matters.

Reigns has generated a ton of headlines in recent weeks, making comments about topics like his longevity in wrestling and the lack of stars getting over in WWE.

During his Royal Rumble vlog that was published on February 6, Reigns talked about his status and how he has built enough equity to share his opinion on various topics.

“This is what we do, man. We talk shit and then we find a way to find that solution and it usually happens out there [in the ring]. Nobody who has been here for a long time has thin skin. You just learn, that’s just what it is. We’re all thick skinned alphas here. You’re going to hear a lot of stuff, you’re going to hear a lot of jabs here and there. When it comes to it, I’m the slyest with it. I’ll sit there and pepper you without you even knowing. But nah, it is what it is. When you’ve been here and you’ve done what I’ve done, you built that equity to share your opinion. I shit I think and the shit I say matters, you know what I mean? I earned that. Nobody gave it to me, I had to take it. It wasn’t easy. That’s what everybody thinks. It’s, ‘oh, he’s gone’ — it was not easy when I got here. John Cena, Randy Orton, Big Show, Kane, sweetheart but still, I had to pry this shit from the grips of the veterans. Nobody else did it but me. I say what I want.”

Reigns is set to challenge CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE WrestleMania 42. Fans can click here to how the match was made.
