Roman Reigns says the WWE locker room is a team environment and he would not encourage Superstars to go against the script by “doing their own thing” on television.
Speaking in an interview with Muscle & Fitness, the four-time WrestleMania main-eventer was asked about his creative freedom in WWE and whether he pushes to have certain storylines or segments changed.
He replied by revealing that his approach has always been to stick to the script by proving to WWE’s decision-makers that he can handle anything that they want to throw at him, and he would advise others to do the same.
“I don’t suggest that you just come in and do your own thing on your own from the get-go because, in a weird light, this is the biggest team process I have ever been a part of. Like I said, this isn’t one of those deals like football where we’re competing and the man’s next to me on the same side. I’ve never been in a business where somebody lays down for me, like, ‘Dude, you’re winning tonight, brother.’”

He added that WWE Superstars have a different type of relationship and respect for each other because they have to work as a team to achieve their success.
