#2 Roman Reigns reveals why Corbin was disliked backstage

The Big Dog Roman Reigns is currently involved in a major feud against Baron Corbin, or rather, King Corbin. Corbin picked up a big win over Roman Reigns this past SmackDown and it looks like WWE are determined to make the former US Champion a major name.

Reigns recently appeared on Corey Graves' podcast After the Bell and talked about a variety of subjects including why Corbin was not well-liked backstage and how he changed that:

If you would’ve told me I would’ve main-evented a European tour with ‘Football Tom’, I would’ve said ‘Get the hell out of here. Yeah, right.’ One thing, even with the boys back then, he got a reaction, right? He rubbed us a certain way, and when push came to shove and it was time for him to get in the ring, they were like, ‘Dude, you’re going to get fired if you don’t get in the ring.’ He picked it up, he’s a big guy, he’s got good timing... I’ll give him that.
