During a recent interview with Complex, Roman Reigns commented on returning to WWE in 2019 after his leukemia was in remission, and more. Regarding his return, Reigns said,
“In so many ways I felt so much confidence. So much gratitude within that moment. Man, it was special and I can get into but it would probably take way too long to explain all the emotions. I think that was one of those situations where I was able to kind of come out of the Roman character and just be Joe. That’s why you saw me the way I was. That’s why I was wearing Jordans and just kind of the casual look. For the most part, the Roman character, especially early on, I stayed in the fatigues and boots and stuff like that. But that moment, I kind of took that character armor off and exposed the real me and gave them a piece of me.”
Reigns also commented on who has the best sneaker game in the Anoa’i family. He said,
“The Usos, they definitely have a nice selection. They’ve been rocking the 1s a lot for a long time. Dwayne [The Rock] has his own. That’s a different story. He’s making his own stuff at Under Armor. But as far as the diversity and the throwbacks and connecting with the culture of the shoes, I think I’m the guy. The proof is every Friday.”
