While speaking on Stephanie McMahon’s podcast, Roman Reigns gave some insight into his approach when portraying his WWE character.

“I don’t like low-hanging fruit. I feel a little more sophisticated than that. I feel like my communication can be a little more intellectual. I don’t know, I’m from Georgia Tech. I should be able to, like, you know, put some stuff together that isn’t necessarily the stuff you’d hear on the corner, you know what I mean? So I just always, and your dad was that way too, the way he wrote and the way he thought about writing and being a little more sophisticated and things of that matter. So I don’t know, that was just a challenge of mine that I’ve always taken. Being in a PG product and, you know, no disrespect to anybody, chugging a beer, flipping birds, ‘shove this up your ass, that up your ass’ , you know, that’s not that hard. You know what I mean?”

Stephanie quickly added some humor, replying, “It can be hard to stick something up someone’s ass. Not that I know from experience!”
