Roman Reigns is scheduled to compete in the first ever 7 man Elimination Chamber match on Sunday night, and if he wins he will go on to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 31.
Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns certainly aren’t strangers, as Roman challenged Brock for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 31, but he failed to win the match after Seth Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract. Roman recently spoke to CBS Sports about a possible rematch, and he said that he’s ready to take a ride to Suplex City.
“Yeah, we definitely have that. I think what puts validity behind this whole situation is we had a barnburner of a match. It’s one of my favorites that I’ve ever … Well, let me take that back. It’s not my favorite, because it didn’t feel good. But going back and seeing it and the outcome and the story and the reaction and just the rollercoaster ride that the crowd took with us, it was one of my finer days at work. There’s always gonna be that animosity to wanna finish the job. Not only towards Brock but towards Seth for interrupting that. The key is to be able to get to that point and deliver and capitalize. Hopefully I’ll get the shot. We gotta go through the Chamber on Sunday. We gotta make it out of that unscathed and then take a ride to Suplex City. It sounds a lot better than it really feels. Trust me.”
Big changes are in store for the stars of Raw and SmackDown Live as WWE recently announced that single brand pay-per-views will be coming to an end soon. Roman was asked about the change and he noted that it comes with pros and cons.
“I think, like anything else, it has its pros and cons. It’s gonna increase the work schedule as far as pay-per-views, but if you don’t wanna perform in a pay-per-view, then what are you doing here? I think it’ll also keep storylines fresh. It’ll allow us to continue to dot all our “i’s” and cross all our “t’s” because we’ll have more weeks to continue those storylines and these rivalries, and we’ll be able to have more time to carry those out.”
