How Roman Reigns Really Feels About Defending WWE

Some backstage news has emerged regarding how Roman Reigns really feels when it comes to publicly defending WWE and comments about AEW.

In interviews released today ahead of tonight’s big SmackDown vs Rampage battle, Reigns said he doesn’t see AEW as competition, and believes CM Punk has “lost a step or two” in the ring.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez said that this isn’t necessarily something Reigns is being forced to do against his will. He is legitimately WWE through and through and believes the things he says.

Alvarez explained:

“Roman Reigns, from everything that I have been told from people all over the place, is a lifer. You know that guy that stands up for WWE with tears in his eyes? Roman doesn’t have tears in his eyes but when Roman Reigns defends WWE, (and) I’m not saying that he doesn’t disagree with some of the things that they do and that sort of thing. But this guy is a lifer and this guy believes much of what he says when he is standing up for and defending WWE.

“He is a very very loyal soldier in this WWE Universe. Obviously, there are a lot of other people as well that are loyal soldiers as well. There’s a lot of them that they are loyal soldiers but they also say things that, you know, if you talk to them (and) they left WWE tomorrow in 90 days, they would do an interview and they’d probably say something different. Roman is a loyal loyal soldier so he is a good man for this job.”

Alvarez compared the approach of Roman Reigns to that of Seth Rollins in the past, who reportedly thought some of the things he had to say to defend WWE were “really stupid”, but he was told he had to do it.
