WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns was recently on the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast to promote SummerSlam where he’ll defend the title against John Cena.
For the first time in SummerSlam’s history, it will take place on a Saturday instead of a SummerSlam. This is something that Reigns talked about.
“As someone who has been in this process for a while, since we’ve come back to live crowds, we work on Saturdays pretty much every single week, and I’ve done it for years,” Reigns noted. “From a performance standpoint, it doesn’t change anything for me. I think it was just more of a strategical thing, the location in Vegas, and just how travel is, the percentages of how Vegas is populated with tourists. When it comes down to it, most people are trying to get out of their Sunday because they’re going back to their work week on Monday. It made great sense, obviously, to do it Saturday. The Vegas numbers in general are going to be higher.”
