Reigns sends strong message to rivals ahead of Royal Rumble
“I didn’t come all the way out here for nothing. You know what I mean? From Miami, this is a long travel day. So, yeah, I mean, I haven’t been able to pull this off in what, over 10 years now. For the longest, I felt like I was like the gatekeeper, the runner-up guy. You know, they would spam me and try to get that big pop for the babyface or whatever.
But, I don’t know. This feels like me. It feels like me and I think there’s so many different, you know, fingers and different signs pointing to this. I think we’re at a place where our fans ae demanding more. You know what I mean? I set us up. I put us in position, you know, to be fulfilled in teh promised land, to be in a position to break records and make ungodly amount of money. And we’re at that point that our fans are craving that. And they already know it’s a proof of concept with me. They know what they’re getting with me, man.”
