“A Lot of Love for Brock”: Roman Reigns Previously Credited Brock Lesnar for His Life-Changing Moment in 2015

Currently, on a hiatus, Brock Lesnar has always been one of the most dominant in-ring performers to have ever set his foot inside the squared circle. Also known as, The Beast Incarnate, Lesnar has maintained the legacy behind his nickname.

Lesnar returned at SummerSlam 2021, after Roman Reigns defeated John Cena. Lesnar returned to a completely new look and gimmick, where he sported a beard, a ponytail, and a cowboy gimmick.

Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns have always maintained one of the most heated rivalries in modern-day wrestling. Upon his return at SummerSlam 2021, Lesnar started a feud with Reigns upon his return, which lasted till SummerSlam 2022, when Lesnar lost and went on a hiatus.

Prior to WrestleMania 37, Reigns met with reporters at the SoFi Stadium to promote the announcement of WrestleMania 37. Here, the reporters asked Reigns about working with Lesnar. Reigns replied, “When you work with Brock Lesnar. When you are in the ring with Brock Lesnar, it puts you, it jumps you multiple jumps. My life changed in 2015. WrestleMania 31, it hadn’t been the same.”

The Tribal Chief continued, “A lot of love for Brock. He’s a great performer. A lot of people heard the statements that John Cena made about him. I’m not sure if he was wrong. You know, I mean he’s one of the few guys that people really really believed. Even as a performer, you have to always keep your eyes on it. If you watch, when I am in the ring with him, I never take my eyes of Brock because you just never know.”

Roman Reigns praised Brock Lesnar for maintaining kayfabe

In the same interview, when the reporter asked Reigns about Lesnar’s aura, Reigns answered, “It’s the best. I mean it’s old school. It’s the mystique. It’s kayfabe. You know what I mean? It’s what we don’t have anymore because of the internet.” Reigns then claimed how he himself felt guilty of it, of not maintaining kayfabe.

He further continued, “I think it works best for Brock because of his background. His legitimacy and just that. I mean, Brock is one of those guys that special IT factor. When he walks in the room, … you know it and you have to be concerned about it.”

Reigns concluded by stating that people want to see Brock Lesnar fight. He said, “You can throw anybody in, any beast looking dude in the world, and they’ll be like ‘yeah!Oh yeah! Throw him against Brock. I’ll pay for that fight.” Roman Reigns was all praises for his arch-rival, and it was kind of surprising to see those words coming from The Tribal Chief.
