Does Jericho Think Reigns Is Ready?, Talks Ryback, RAW & More

Chris Jericho recently spoke with Digital Spy about Ryback and Roman Reigns. Here are the highlights…

On Ryback using his Jericho podcast appearance in a RAW promo: “Loved it! That’s why I wanted to have Ryback on, I wanted people to see his personality, to hear his passion. He was unfairly accused [by CM Punk], in my opinion, of certain things, but I worked with Ryback for months and loved it. I know he’s not dumb and I know he’s not an idiot, and I just wanted to give him a chance to tell his side of the story and show his personality and let people know what he’s all about.”

Is Roman Reigns ready to main event WrestleMania?: “I think Roman’s doing great, I think there’s a lot of guys doing great, but it all depends on the reaction of the fans and I think right now the next two or three weeks are crucial to see what kind of reaction these guys get and that will decide where they are going to be slotted in WrestleMania. They’re listening to what the crowd is reacting to, and then deciding from there. If Roman Reigns is getting a great crowd reaction, then there’s a great chance he’s going to get more and more of a push – that’s how things go. I think they probably have a tentative plan already for the top three or four matches at WrestleMania, now they just have to see if the pieces continue to fall into place.”
