#2 What does Roman Reigns really think about WWE?

Roman Reigns has publicly defended WWE during interviews, even dismissing AEW as not being 'real competition' not too long ago.

Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live said sources told him that Reigns is a WWE lifer and a loyal soldier for the company:

"Roman Reigns, from everything that I have been told from people all over the place, is a lifer. You know that guy that stands up for WWE with tears in his eyes? Roman doesn’t have tears in his eyes but when Roman Reigns defends WWE [and] I’m not saying that he doesn’t disagree with some of the things that they do and that sort of thing. But this guy is a lifer and this guy believes much of what he says when he is standing up for and defending WWE. He is a very very loyal soldier in this WWE Universe," said Alvarez.

This doesn't come as a surprise, given Reigns' current success as a top villain in the company.
