Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns appeared on The Pat McAfee Show today.
Reigns was asked if it was hard for him to think about Jimmy and Jey Uso fighting each other at WrestleMania.
Reigns said, “I’m rooting for big Jim, he’s my only family. Jey made his choice. How do you walk away from the dream? How do you walk away from the promised land? It’s disrespectful. He’ll tell you his life hasn’t been the same since. If you can’t play your role, if you can’t fill the shoes that you’ve been provided, then we gotta excommunicate. He’s doing okay but just remember, it only takes just like that. We send the word and it’s done.” Reigns clarified, “I would never kill my cousin but I would put his career on hold if I want to, we got the juice.”
McAfee said he’s noticed that The Rock’s thumb has a mind of its own, a reference to Rock putting up the “L” sign when doing the Bloodline pose. McAfee also asked why everyone wants to see Rock vs. Reigns.
Reigns said, “Because it’s two of the greatest Superstars to ever do it. We have one who’s currently dominating Hollywood, the other who is currently dominating WWE. Why wouldn’t you want to put that match together? That’s the big gripe with Cody, he’s a crybaby.”
Reigns then referenced the “Cody Crybaby” fans: “Let’s be honest, if guys my age, that small minority of our WWE wrestling fanbase weren’t a bunch of b*tches crying the whole time, he would have never got that buzz and y’all would have been smitten with The Rock vs. The Tribal Chief. That’s what it was. That’s the beauty of this business. Things can happen at the drop of a dime and you have to be able to either call an audible or ride that wave that’s coming at you. For me, that was the end game. Let me just make the final statement, put the stamp of approval, seal the deal. I beat The Rock, ain’t nobody ever questioning what I’ve done here and Cody took that from me. We’re such a close family and we handle things the right way…he took that from me. He took that storybook ending…you ain’t even been here half the time. You just got here. You literally just got here two years ago.”
Reigns continued, “This is the thing. Our society is a bunch of sheep…that guy is a politician.”
