In an interview with The Reno Gazette-Journal prior to his appearance at the Reno Comic Con, WWE Superstar Roman Reigns discussed his potential dream match against The Rock, returning to the ring after his injury and more.
Highlights of the interview are below:
On returning to the ring after his injury: “Based on the fact that we don’t have an offseason, it’s great for me personally and mentally to be able to collect myself, kind of gather the troops, re-game plan and just attack this thing another way. I don’t see it as I’m chasing that big pop. I’m not chasing one big pop. I’m chasing a collection of humongous, out-of-this world, never-been-heard-before pops. I just don’t want one of them, I want to hear them every single night and every single time I go in. So that’s the game plan for me. It would be nice to hear that energy be created again on the very first night that I come back but it’s gonna take a lot more than just one night. It’s gonna take day in and day out of just hard work, just completely dedicating myself to the product and just hoping for the best.”
On his favorite match in his career to date: “I really liked the match I had with Randy [Orton] at Summer Slam. I thought we tore it up there. That would be a nice rematch, that’s always a good fight with Randy. But I probably have to go with the six-man tag we had in London a couple years ago or a year and a half or so ago against Team Hell No and Undertaker. That’s a good grouping of superstars to compete against.”
On his dream match: “I think just considering the family I come from, there’d be no way better to celebrate it than having a match with Rocky at Wrestlemania.”
