VIDEO: Roman Reigns Discusses The Rock, ‘Rumble Win, More

In an interview with the Hot 97 Morning Show, Roman Reigns spoke about the negative reaction in Philadelphia from the crowd when he won the Royal Rumble. Here are highlights:

On the boos for his Royal Rumble win: “I didn’t hear any cheers. It was rough, you know. It’s crazy because it was one of the most special nights of my life, but it didn’t go exactly like I’d hoped or planned. So it was emotional. It was a roller coaster. To have such a high and then be smashed by such a reaction .. When it comes down to it, with this life, this schedule, you take on a lot of stuff. Sometimes you can’t sell anything, you’ve just gotta let things ricochet off of you. When you’re out there in that ring, there’s a lot of emotion and passion going on. I love what I do. I love this form of art. So to get that negative response, it can hurt your feelings.

On if The Rock was aware of what he was walking into: “I think he had a good idea. With social media, with so many different outlets and platforms that we have now, you can kind of get a taste of what’s happening, the way people are swinging and where you’re falling. Leading up, for weeks, I could see it. I could see it developing and the movement getting stronger. I knew I wasn’t going to be a popular guy that night. I didn’t realize it was going to be so strong.”
