“I’m Proud of Where He Is” – the Undertaker Showers Roman Reigns With Heartfelt Praise

Roman Reigns has impressed the WWE Universe with his skills. Not only does he cut excellent promos, but he is sharp and swift in the ring too. Moreover, he has successfully portrayed himself as a heel considering the boos he gets from the fans when he walks down the ramp.

This successful heel turn hasn’t gone unnoticed. Several Superstars have addressed his skills and have appreciated him. Recently, The Undertaker showered him with praise during an interview.

He revealed that Roman Reigns, as a Superstar, is “hitting on all cylinders.”

“I’m so proud of where he is. The night of Survivor Series [in November], I went up to Roman and Jey and said, ‘This is the most compelling story that we’ve done in a while.’ And where he’s been able to take it, it’s so good. It’s not forced. Roman is hitting on all cylinders.”

Furthermore, The Deadman explained that The Tribal Chief brings forth the tension when he appears. This is the sign of a great heel, and he’s proud of Roman Reigns.

“I think he’s a great heel—coldhearted, calculated. There is a compelling backstory and you still feel the tension when Roman appears. Like I said, I’m really proud of him.”

Undoubtedly, Reigns has been extremely good following his heel turn. He hasn’t taken it easy on anyone who has stood between him and the Universal title since SummerSlam 2020.

When did Roman Reigns turn heel?

The Tribal Chief returned to WWE following a hiatus when COVID-19 hit. He did not want to risk his health considering he’s a leukemia fighter.

Reigns returned at SummerSlam 2020 after Bray Wyatt defeated Braun Strowman for the Universal Championship title. He speared both of them and stood tall with the title in hand.

However, his primary heel turn surfaced when he was booked against his cousin Jey Uso. When he didn’t spare Uso, everybody knew Reigns had gone over to the dark side. There was very little anybody could but acknowledge him as The Tribal Chief.

To be fair, Roman Reigns always wanted to be a heel, and now, he’s doing it perfectly!
