Roman Reigns first signed with WWE in 2010 and since then he’s become one of the biggest stars in the company. It had been clear for some time that WWE had been trying to position him as the top star, and it sounds like Triple H saw something in Roman Reigns early on.
During a recent appearance on The Roommates Show, Triple H talked about his first meeting with Roman Reigns, and he also revealed what he told Dusty Rhodes about Roman.
“The first time I ever met Roman Reigns, I had just taken over and started what would become our developmental system, and he had just transitioned over from football to being in our developmental system. The first day I met him, I sat down with him for 20 minutes just to get to know him a little bit. Walked out of the interview and, at the time, Dusty Rhodes was working in developmental with me, I walked up to Dusty and said, ‘If that kid is not the biggest star we ever have in ten years, I don’t know what we’re doing. Holy s***. He has everything.’
When he walked in the room, you couldn’t help but look at him and go, ‘Who is that?’ He has an innate X-factor charisma. Sometimes that happens, sometimes it’s the guy you don’t see it in them, ‘He’s good. He’s athletic. He’s this and that,’ but it’s really the character stuff. Sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn’t.”
