Roman Reigns Reveals What He Learned From His Feud With John Cena

Roman Reigns was recently interviewed by the Mirror in order to promote the upcoming WWE live events in the United Kingdom. During the interview, he spoke on a wide variety of topics.

One of these topics was about Reigns’ recent feud with John Cena. Reigns and Cena went back and forth on the microphone for weeks leading to their match at ‘No Mercy’.

Here is what Reigns said he learned from his feud with Cena:

“I think I learned that I’m up for any challenge. That was one of the biggest challenges for me and that’s what great competitors do. If I had to lower myself to compete with John Cena, then there’s no point in competing with John Cena. But what he did, like any great competitor, any great superstar, he forced me to step up. As he said, ‘you either step up or you step aside’. I’m very proud to show that I’m able to do these different things. For a long time my strength has always been in the ring and I haven’t had these barn burner promos that everybody talks about the next day. But, I know inside that I’m able to step up. I know what I have ability wise and talent wise and I think that’s all that John was trying to do, he wanted to bring out the best in me and I think he did that and I’m very grateful for that”

He continued:

“I think that’s my job, that’s the most important thing about being the top guy, that you lift everybody up, that you bring everybody up to that standard. It can’t be the other way around because if that’s the case, then the whole structure is off. I think he did a great job of lighting a fire under my ass and I think I did a great job of stepping up to the occasion and we made great TV for it”
