Roman Reigns On If He’s Thought About Changing His Wrestling Gear

After The Shield split up, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins developed new characters with a new look, but Roman Reigns kept The Shield’s entrance music, and he also continued to wear ring gear similar to what he wore during his run with the Hounds of Justice.

During a recent interview with Sporting News, Reigns was asked if he’s considered switching up his gear, but Reigns noted that he’s secure when it comes to what he wears to the ring.

“Pants are pants. (Dean) Ambrose just changed to jeans. Jeans are jeans. I could just undo the straps and it would look just like regular pants that Baron Corbin wears. Seth (Rollins) primarily comes out in the same thing — he just takes his shirt off. My whole glove/gauntlet situation is totally different. I’m pretty secure with what I wear. I don’t want to sound bad but at the same time, is it really about the gear? It ain’t about how the brother looks or how the girl looks. There is some aesthetics to this but ain’t it about the performance? Is it my gear that’s making people emote? I don’t think so.”

On Sunday, Roman Reigns will challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship, and he’s hoping to bring the belt home.

When asked about his thoughts on the Universal Championship not appearing on Raw every week, Roman said “it’s killing us.”

“It’s killing us. It’s killing us. It makes for better storytelling. It would be a better product. It would be a better show. When you have the diamond that everybody’s chasing, it gives everybody a GPS of where they are and where they’re trying to be. Not only that, it’s a driving force for live events. It’s a driving force for our Friday, Saturday and Sunday (non-televised events) when we don’t have a network special or a pay-per-view. It’s important to have that thing hanging up in the locker room in a tiny town in South Dakota on a Friday when people are not motivated. A young talent comes in and says the champ’s in here and the title is hanging up. I want that. It motivates people in some many different regards and that’s what we need. I’m to the point where I’ve won a bunch of different championships and the only reason I want that championship is because I haven’t won it and I want it on this roster. I want it at our shows. I want it in every town because it’s going to make everybody better.”
