Welcome to another edition of the daily WWE Rumor Roundup where Sportskeeda brings to you the biggest stories from the day. In today's edition, this article will talk a lot about the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and what the future holds for him.
This article shall also take a look at who Brock Lesnar might be feuding with once he returns to WWE. Also, A feud between The Rock and Roman Reigns that the fans have been waiting for a long time might finally come to fruition.
This article will also talk about Roman Reigns taking a dig at RETRIBUTION and revealing who he would have in his faction. So without further ado, let's dive in and take a look at the biggest stories of the day:
#5 Roman Reigns talks about his possible faction in WWE
The Big Dog Roman Reigns recently had a discussion with some fans via a Zoom call. The WWE Universal Champion took a dig at RETRIBUTION and said that his faction could take them out easily.
Reigns then stated who he would have in his faction if he were to form one.
''Boy, you put me and my cousins, the girls, Joe as well, just based off the lineage, that's a tough group to dismantle. I mean, we just watched RETRIBUTION and The Hurt Business. We would squash them, all of them. You put them all together, we would squash them all."
Roman Reigns has returned with a new attitude. So it is very much possible that as a 'mob boss' Reigns will choose to surround himself with his goons. Although he does have Paul Heyman by his side right now, having an entourage of his Samoan family would certainly add to the aura of the 'Tribal Chief' of WWE.
"I mean, they're legitimate competitors, they are great athletes, but you put all of us together, with not only the fact that, we're hard-nosed competitors ourselves."
#4 Bobby Lashley to fight former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar?
Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar have more than one thing in common. Both men are not only powerhouse performers in WWE but have also made a name for themselves in other promotions as well as MMA.
Ever since Lashley returned to WWE, fans have been hoping for a feud between the two behemoths. However, the two have not clashed yet. With Lashley being booked as a complete monster as of late, the fans are even more excited about the dream match.
A fan asked Bobby Lashley on Twitter when he will face Brock Lesnar and The Almighty stated that he has been waiting for Lesnar and that he's already 'done his part.'
There had been a lot of rumors which stated that Lashley vs Lesnar is a match that even the powers that be want to happen. With Lesnar out of WWE for the time, it is the best chance to build Lashley into the next Lesnar so that the eventual match between the two will become a big draw.
# WWE Superstar Roman Reigns reacts to The Rock's 'challenge' for a WrestleMania match
The Rock had recently stated during an interview that a match between him and his cousin Roman Reigns at WrestleMania would make sense. Now, the Big Dog has responded to the former WWE Champion and has essentially agreed to have the match.
Here is what The Rock had stated:
"Feels like the one that would make sense, right, would be Roman. In terms of box-office draw… I know how that conversation goes. 'Listen, here's what we're thinking. Roman beats you now at this WrestleMania. But, listen, before you guys say anything. Then on the next one… that's when… But you know what, the truth is, I would be honored not only to share the ring with Roman and to go back to the WWE. But of course, I would be honored to have him raise his hand in that one." (h/t Wrestlingnews.co)
'The Big Dog' Roman Reigns has tweeted in The Rock's response. He has said that putting his family at the center stage is his goal.
.@TheRock at #WrestleMania... Jey @WWEUsos at #WWEClash, my responsibility is putting our family's name on top of the card and at the center of @WWE Universe.
#2 WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns reveals why he joined Paul Heyman
WWE Superstar Roman Reigns was recently a guest on Corey Graves' podcast - After The Bell. WWE's The Tribal Chief talked about his return and gave a detailed explanation of why he joined hands with Paul Heyman; a man who had been the advocate of his biggest rival - Brock Lesnar.
Reigns explained that he wanted a completely new persona upon his return.
''It was kind of a bit of a lure as well, to get me back in. To know I wanted to go down this route, I just felt like I needed something. I didn't just wanna show up, look different, talk different, I wanted a whole new presentation, and we would continue to gradually do that. But I thought, what better way than to align myself with essentially, a high-powered attorney."
He stated that he is a blend of the best athlete in the world and a mob boss.
''The mob boss will go out there and do the hitting himself, but you gotta have somebody who understands the ins and outs and can have that new layer to the whole character, to the whole personality."
#1 Roman Reigns reveals why he was chosen to be 'the guy' in WWE
The Universal Champion Roman Reigns has received a lot of flak over the years from fans for being the chosen one and getting a push in WWE. Speaking on Corey Graves' After The Bell podcast, The Big Dog revealed that being the face of a company is a lot of hard work that not everyone is capable of doing.
WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns stated that to be the top guy, one has to put in some extra effort that not everyone is willing to put in.
''Everybody wants that push. Everybody, 'Man! If they just push me! Why am I not here. But when the work comes they start b***hing and moaning about it. They start complaining. You say you want to be the guy but you don't want to work on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. You don't want to work on a Saturday. You don't want a double shot, you don't want to do media before and after the show, you don't want to catch the flight all the way across the country to do the hit for ESPN.'' (H/t: SportsKeeda)
