It takes a very tough man to play defensive line at any level of football, but to be able to do it on a Division 1 level, or a professional level, it takes that intensity, that aggression, and you have to be tough. – Roman Reigns
People call us heroes, but we are nothing compared to our police force and fire fighters and everybody who protects us and makes sure our freedom is held to the highest standard. – Roman Reigns
Most of my hobbies involve athletics and outdoor activities. I’m willing to learn about anything and converse and pick people’s brains, and I ask people to do the same. I’m into learning anything new and trying new stuff. – Roman Reigns
Everyone’s a critic: when you are doing something good, everybody wants to bring you down, and that’s something I’ve been told. People want to see you do good, but not too good. – Roman Reigns
My process is walking down to the locker room, laying everything out to how I like it. I’m very particular about setting up my bags and my dressing situation. I love to pull out that portable speaker and blare music even if nobody else likes it. To me, its just keeping everything the same every single night. – Roman Reigns
I’m a workhorse. I’ll take anything and everything I can get, and I’ll do it with a smile on my face. – Roman Reigns
Sometimes, as a former football player, we have to go into that away game and silence the crowd. And just let them know I am the man. I’m going to be here for a long time. – Roman Reigns
There is always the underground rapper people enjoy, and you want to see him come up. That’s kind of how it is in wrestling. – Roman Reigns
My father and a bunch of my cousins and uncles, they didn’t have the opportunity to use FaceTime or Skype, all these different technologies and advancements that we have. – Roman Reigns
I’m wrestling almost every single day of the week. I’m fighting for so much more. I’m trying to capture a life here, a future. I’m trying to put my kid in college. There are so many things I’m doing. I’m representing the biggest wrestling family on earth. – Roman Reigns
I’m a family man. I have a daughter and a wife, and I spend more time on the road with my wrestling family than I do with my actual household and my immediate family. – Roman Reigns
The majority of critics, I would say, are people who have no clue what they’re talking about and have never been in a wrestling ring. They’ve never been a public speaker. They wouldn’t even know how to lock up with me if I allowed them to. – Roman Reigns
When it comes to representing the WWE, I don’t like calling myself the ‘face of WWE’ because we have so many faces and so many superstars. We are a team, we’re a roster, and we’re a locker room. It absolutely takes every man to make this ship sail. – Roman Reigns
I try to live in the moment. When you’re in a singles match, you’re in there, and the guy’s on top of you, and you’re in a hold, and you’re being smothered: You’re in the fight at all times. But when we’re doing these team fights, you have a little time to take in the moment and just absorb the energy of the crowd. – Roman Reigns
Being a WWE performer and doing all the different things we get to do, it can wear on you, and you can learn a lot of stuff about yourself. For me, it always reminds me to just stay humble. Just be yourself, love what you do, and enjoy the ride. – Roman Reigns
There’s so many great matches that you can think of. I could fantasy book all kinds of stuff, you know, fight a few family members. If we could have Umaga back, I would love to wrestle him in any arena in any town just because of how good he was. – Roman Reigns
That’s the real work, being away from my loved ones, my family, my household. There’s nothing that’s hurt any more than being away from my little girl and missing days, but I’m lucky. – Roman Reigns
Once I got a bit older, and we could see there could be a future in football, it was everyone’s blessing to chase that dream. And it did me a lot of good: It put me through college, it gave me an education, it got me a little taste of pro ball and a lot of good memories. I don’t regret any of it. – Roman Reigns
That’s just what I want to do: Create a path that’s unknown. It’s hard in this business and this world we live in to trail-blaze. To create something different and do your own thing is hard nowadays. That’s what I want to do. I want to take these matches to a whole new level and break that bar. – Roman Reigns
I don’t think anybody else could have gone out there with Brock Lesnar and do what I did. I stand by that, and I’m proud of it. My father and my mother were in the front row watching, and they got to see their son go toe-to-toe with Brock Lesnar. Not many people can say that. – Roman Reigns
If I’m with my dad, yeah, he’s going to talk a good bit about the business. He just kind of mentors me and tells me what he’s thinking about my stuff. – Roman Reigns
If there’s one thing I’ve shown, I’m not scared of physicality. I’m not scared to take some of my own blood. I play hurt; I play injured. – Roman Reigns
Don’t focus on the negativity. Focus on the positivity and the people that want you to do well; then, do it for them and for yourself. Sometimes I do things for myself. Sometimes I do things for my family. Sometimes I do things for my friends. – Roman Reigns
The Tae-Bo guy has a good body on him. I believe in evolution as far as lifting and training and building muscle. I was doing functional movement before CrossFit was ever a thing. I was playing football, doing platform lifts, all kinds of wacky kettle-bell stuff before kettle bells were kettle bells. – Roman Reigns
I’m a character and a sports entertainer and a wrestler, but I’m also a father and a husband and a provider. – Roman Reigns
It was an absolute pleasure just to be able to tell my grandkids, ‘Yep. I Superman-punched Vince McMahon right in the face twice.’ You can put that on my mantle. – Roman Reigns
I don’t care to read about anybody’s Twitter. I don’t care what you’re eating for breakfast or where you just went. For me, it’s mainly just to connect with my supporters and the people who are showing a mad amount of love. – Roman Reigns
For the most part, I don’t care what Dolph Ziggler is doing or that Seth Rollins worked out. I don’t wanna watch a video of Cena power cleaning. – Roman Reigns
