Roman Reigns was recently interested by “Planeta Wrestling”. During the interview, he discussed his newfound outlook on life and wrestling following his second bout with leukemia. Here are the highlights:
On Just Being Happy To Be In The Ring At Wrestlemania 35:
I don’t really have anyone to narrow it down to at this point anymore because I’ve wrestled a lot of different, great characters, a lot of awesome men. Right now, I think just where I’m at in my career, just being able to be in the ring and share that stage with anybody.
Obviously, someone who’s put some time and there’s got to be a rhyme and a reason why they’re there, but to be able to share that moment with anybody, any performer, I think that’s a special moment because we all hold WrestleMania – whether it’s the main event or, hell, even the pre-show – just being a part of that Sunday is special.
On Wanting To Elevate Someone At Wrestlemania:
There’s guys who have been – they just haven’t quite made it, and they’ve been on the pre-show, or they’ve been in the battle royale, or they haven’t quite been in the match they wanted or deserved. When they do get that, the sensation that you feel, the gratitude you feel is overwhelming. And for me to be able to experience that with someone who is going through that, I would really enjoy that.
On Titles & Headlining PPVs Meaning Less To Him Now:
That type of perspective has changed for me. It used to be about all these giant moments, and checking off these goal boxes, and doing all these things on my bucket list. But now, I think one of the huge things for me is just slowing it down and living in the moment, and just taking those few seconds we have out there, those few minutes we have out there, and just really enjoying them. Let my hair down and enjoying that moment, enjoying the process of going through it all.
