Roman Reigns has been one of WWE’s top stars for years, but fans have been seeing a different side of The Big Dog since he returned at the SummerSlam pay-per-view back in August.
Reigns has aligned himself with Paul Heyman, and fans have been talking about how he seems to be developing into one of the top heels in the company.
While promoting NXT TakeOver 31 on The Bump, Triple H talked about Roman’s heel turn, and he said that he believes the Roman Reigns that we’re seeing now is the finished product.
“I think what you are seeing now is the full, finished product. Everybody goes through evolutions of who they are, what they want to be, what they want to accomplish with their life and their career. And for Roman I think it’s always been different because of his family background, because of the dynamics of his family, all of the Samoan dynasty so to speak. And when you step into that arena with that pressure of your family on you, including The Rock, it’s heavy. What can you accomplish, and what can you do.”
“I think when you look at Roman, it’s hard not to think this guy has everything possible to not only be a star in the WWE, but in anything he wants to do,” he continued. “He looks like a movie star, he’s one of the most athletic guys on any roster. He’s smart, he’s articulate, he’s controlled, he’s composed. He doesn’t get rattled, he doesn’t panic, doesn’t stress, everything you could want. But it takes a while to develop what’s already there, and to trust in yourself that is what you need to be to achieve what you want in life. And as you move on through that, I think those goals change. What you see now is the finished article, this is the Roman Reigns who knows what he wants, has what he wants, is at the head of the table for his entire family. To me, I love what he’s doing now. This is honest, true, this is real, this is him. And I think that’s why it feels so strong.”
