Roman Reigns Admits He’s Stolen Plays From Multiple Sports Icons

Roman Reigns has learned and stolen ideas from those who came before him, even if they aren’t actually pro wrestlers.

WWE Superstar Roman Reigns was a recent guest on The Pat McAfee Show. When asked if he learned from people like The Rock or outside greats such as Michael Jordan or Tom Brady as he climbed the ranks to the top of the company, Reigns admits to stealing plays from their playbook as well as some legendary professional wrestlers.

“Outside of talking to Dwayne Johnson, I haven’t had the privilege of talking to those guys,” Roman Reigns said. “I’ve definitely studied that. I watched Michael Jordan, Tiger, Tom Brady, all these guys. The GOATs of their sport. It’s an easy watch.

“You can dive into that and look into the psyche of what these guys are thinking, feeling, and going through. A lot of times, they’re going through some shit in real life. They’re going through personal stuff, which is interesting, because to chase greatness when your life is nuts is a skill in its own right. I’ve definitely studied.

“You take pages from people’s playbooks. Rock, Cena, older guys like Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, The Undertaker. Everybody has something that they do, ‘That’s so smart. Where did you figure that out?’ You just steal that. It’s just stealing plays. Like football, it’s copycat. Take what you like, make it your own, and they are singing your praises.” [H/T: Fightful]

WrestleZone will have live coverage of Crown Jewel later this weekend.
