Roman Reigns: There’s Plenty Of Dudes In The Locker Room Running Around Thinking They’re Roman Reigns, It’s Just Ridiculous
Roman Reigns is above the rest.
The upcoming ‘Street Fighter’ film features a big cast that includes egos from the world of wrestling and from Hollywood. According to most accounts, it sounds like the cast had a blast during the film’s shoot in Australia.
Speaking with Sam Roberts for a new interview, Reigns said that he wasn’t running around the set acting like he was Noah Centineo. But in wrestling, a bunch of people walk around acting like their on Roman’s level.
“There’s a great camaraderie in wrestling. I mean, being one of the boys, I can’t even explain it because I’m in the small fraternity, I’m in that 1%. Honestly, that should just be for us. But, the difference is I wasn’t running around thinking I’m Noah [Centineo], you know what I mean? There’s plenty of dudes in the locker room that are running around thinking they’re Roman Reigns, thinking they’re of my level. It’s crazy. It’s just ridiculous. Look in the mirror and look at all your stuff, everything that comes with your life. Look at your bank account, all the stuff. We’re not the same. I didn’t run around thinking I’m Noah [Centineo] or Andrew [Koji]. No, I’m here to work with them, compliment them, make the very best combination or collaboration to create the best film. There’s no confusion here, we all understand who we are and what we’re trying to do and we all came together that way in a perfect way. But in wrestling, it just can’t be had that way.”
Despite coming from a football background, Reigns isn’t vibing with the teamwork aspect of wrestling. He insists that he owns “that shit”.
“Look, I come from football, so I’m always going to look at a teamwork aspect but wrestling is different. That’s my craft, I own that shit. That is mine, you know what I mean? Like mine. I don’t give a shit about any of them, it’s mine.”
Sam Roberts proceeded by asking Reigns when he adopted this mindset.
“Probably when I was born, but it doesn’t click until — honestly, before COVID hit and I left, I had dog food all on me, it was just one of those situations where I just wasn’t creatively — I just wasn’t in line. I didn’t like what I was doing. I didn’t like the way I was portrayed. It was just time to take complete ownership and the proof is in the pudding.”
