Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving Roman Reigns and Jey Uso.
• During an interview with Sports Illustrated, Roman Reigns explained why his antics have remained the same despite turning babyface in recent months:
“I don’t look at it like that. I respect the template we come from, for the artform’s sake. When you start drawing, you need colors and you have to define a few things. We went black and white, good vs. evil, and that gives you your starting point.
Once you’ve seen a few generations of different types of storytelling and seeing a similar story told over and over, and the audience changes and what they’re exposed to.
To me, it’s important to keep the continuity and be the character. It took me 39 years to GPS this skin that I wear when I go out there as a performer as The Tribal Chief. That’s why it is important to stick to those guns and not try to be something you’re not. That’s the true thing to do and the most authentic thing to do from my standpoint.
You hear the crowd and taken into account what they’re doing. That’s why I refer to it as a babyface reaction, but if I want to turn them on a dime, I can do it. It doesn’t have to be something dastardly. It can be the way I’m carrying myself. I would much rather stick to my guns and what I’ve been doing and stick to the character.”
