Roman Reigns On Possibly Facing CM Punk, Says Punk Needs To Be Slapped Around, Talks His Character Needing To Be Built Up To Help Create New Stars

WWE Universal champion Roman Reigns was a recent guest on the Complex Load Management podcast to talk all things pro-wrestling. Highlights from the interview, which include the Big Dog discussing a possible showdown with former superstar CM Punk, can be found below.

Says to build new stars his character needs to be built up first:

If I’m asked to build new stars, we need to build my character up a lot more, and that way we can really start diving in to building the future. I’m open to building up the mountain and letting the future climb it. If we just want to create headlines and build really good TV, I’m into anybody who can garner that attention. Whether it’s someone like Dwayne, if there’s anyone to do it and anyone he would feel comfortable with in the ring and have the proper build-up who can rise to that occasion, there’s no doubt in my mind that I’m the guy. We’re definitely gonna have to crack a lot of eggs on the way to the omelet. That’s just good TV. Going forward and building a really dominant bad guy like myself and here comes the astronomical superstar. You have to really build it.

On potentially facing CM Punk, and how he doesn’t really like him:

All the way from someone as big as The Rock to someone like a CM Punk. Someone who really hits home with our home audience, our hardcore fans. If you’ve watched wrestling for the last 10-15 years and it’s in your blood, you probably have some kind of feelings about that guy. I know I do. Just by doing one of these things, he made my job a lot harder 5-10 years ago. If it’s something the fans can get behind and sink their teeth into the product and dive into the creative with us, I’m willing to do it. I don’t like the guy, I don’t know many people that do, but I’m willing to put business first and make good content. He’d probably need to be slapped around a few times in order to get his mind right. If the fans are going to like it, most likely I’m going to do it.
