Roman Reigns Says His Born to Reign Line Isn’t About Arrogance

– WWE released a video of Roman Reigns before No Mercy discussing his match with John Cena, his “born to reign” line and more. You can see the video below.

When talking about his catchphrase, Reigns says, “When I say I was born to reign, I’m not trying to be conceited or arrogant. That’s how I feel. That’s how I take myself into battle, that’s how I put my body on the line every night because I know I was meant to do something. This company, this business runs through my veins so if I ever choose to do something else, I didn’t hold this place hostage, this really was my home. I gave some of my childhood. I mean, my father was a wrestler, my uncle was a wrestler, countless cousins. Do you know how often I saw my dad? I’ve made sacrifices since day one in this business and I continue to do it, and I’m not gonna stop even if somebody like John Cena doesn’t want me to be here or doesn’t think I deserve it or wants to keep me down and try to bury me. It’s just not going to happen. There’s not a man on Earth that can stop me from doing what I have to do to take care of mine.”

Reigns goes on to say, “I’m a firm believer in progressing and learning, and John Cena is no different. I’ve learned from him, just like I learned from the Undertaker, just like I learned from Brock…Big Show, Triple H, the list goes on. Even the big boss, Vince. I mean, there’s just a plethora of things, just so many different angles and perspectives. And if you think you know it all, you better hit the road Jack. Sometimes I feel that’s where John is. It’s not that Cena has done it all, he just knows it all. It’s hard to like someone like that, man.”
