Roman Reigns fires shots at The Rock & Stone Cold Steve Austin: "No disrespect to nobody"

Roman Reigns has fired some subtle shots at The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Reigns was the face of the WWE after John Cena took his talents to Hollywood, while The Rock and Austin were the main forces behind the company's rise during the Attitude Era.

During the Monday Night Wars, WWE began taking control of the ratings against WCW after they pushed The Brahma Bull and The Texas Rattlesnake. They transcended the business with their captivating feud that made WWE the biggest wrestling company in the world.

On the other hand, Roman Reigns was initially forced by Vince McMahon to be the face of the company before finding his footing as The Tribal Chief. Speaking on What's Your Story? with Stephanie McMahon, The OTC discussed how it's harder to cut a promo during the PG Era compared to the Attitude Era, taking a dig at Rock and Austin.

"From a promo standpoint, a lot of those cheaper digs, I feel a little more sophisticated than that. I feel like my communication can be a little more intellectual. I don't know, I'm from Georgia Tech. I should be able to, like put some stuff together that isn't necessarily the stuff you'd hear on the corner, you know what I mean? So I just always, and (Vince McMahon) was that way too, the way he wrote and the way he thought about writing and being a little more sophisticated and things of that matter. That was just a challenge of mine that I've always taken being in a PG product, and no disrespect to anybody, chugging a beer, flipping birds, shove this up your a**, that up your a**, you know? That's not that hard. You know what I mean?" Reigns said. (From 01:26:38 to 01:27:23)

It will be interesting to see how some fans interpret Roman Reigns' comments, especially with how rough it was for him to do promos early in his singles run.

Roman Reigns facing The Rock or Steve Austin is still possible

It's no secret that Roman Reigns vs. The Rock is one of the remaining dream matches in WWE. It was planned a couple of years ago, but never materialized due to various factors.

The dream match is still alive, considering The Final Boss hasn't retired from in-ring competition, and there's a ready-made story between the real-life cousins. On the other hand, Stone Cold Steve Austin was rumored to be open for another match back in June.
