Roman Reigns joined Stephanie McMahon on the latest edition of her podcast, What's Your Story? There, they discussed his career in WWE and everything he has experienced as a superstar. Among the topics, they also touched upon several WWE rules. Roman Reigns revealed that there were multiple WWE rules in the past that prevented them from using certain words.

The OTC revealed that in "old WWE," they could not use the word "violence." He said that they had been told this previously, to ensure they knew not to use the word in promotions while in WWE.

Stephanie McMahon also revealed a funny story. Her character had been kidnapped and almost forced to marry The Undertaker as part of a storyline. She was told that she could not say that she had been "kidnapped," as that word was not allowed. They had to use the word "abducted" to describe the situation.
