Roman Reigns Talks WrestleMania 31 “Nervous Excitement”, His Diet & Training, Most Painful In-Ring Moment and More

March 23, 2015

Roman Reigns was recently interviewed by Chris Illuminati from BroBible.com this week to hype WrestleMania 31, and the following are some interview highlights:

If He’s “Nervous Excited” or “Excited Excited” For WrestleMania:

“That’s a good way of asking that question. I’m excited excited right now. I think the nervous-excited won’t kick in until we get closer to Sunday.”

What an Average Roman Reigns Day Looks Like:

“My average match is 20-25 minutes. That’s probably the easiest part of my day. There’s a full day of training involved before I even hit the ring. I usually do 30-40 minutes of cardio before I even hit the ring. Eating right is tough. I have to be concerned about my meal, and while I’m eating, I have to think about my next meal. Sometimes you see guys lugging around 3-4 meals just in case. My body just expects it.”

His Most Painful Moment In The Ring:

“The most recent was my match against Daniel Bryan at Fastlane. He kicked my scar from my recent hernia surgery. That was painful. I needed to take a step back from training that next day!”
