Reigns says he was born into this business and there’s a fine line between business and respect. He’ll say it right now… he doesn’t respect Lesnar and he damn sure don’t fear that b—h. Fans pop again. Reigns thinks he’s said enough now. He’s going to go to the back and take his ass chewing like a man because unlike some people, he respects this place.
