Reigns has come a long way from his days as The Big Dog. He has transformed into one of the biggest WWE Superstars in the modern era, if arguably not the biggest.

On What’s Your Story? With Stephanie McMahon, Reigns revealed the two biggest lessons he learned from Vince McMahon. The first one was being at home with his family, and the second was being ahead of the curve.

“He would always tell me, and this is when I was so locked in at work that I wasn’t holding up my end on the other side. And he would just tell me, You’ve got to be present. When you go home, you have to be present. It doesn’t matter what you do out here. You have to be present. And I took that to heart so much (…) He’d always say, 'You want to be ahead of the curve, but not too far' (…) And in just so many different ways, and especially in business, that has just rang true,” Reigns said.
