Roman made a special appearance on The Pat McAfee Show this week ahead of the Rumble. The OTC was confident of a victory this week. He stated that it was a long flight from Miami to Riyadh, and he didn’t come all this way just to lose. Reigns justified his eventual win, claiming that a Royal Rumble victory had eluded him for over a decade.

“I didn’t come all the way out here for nothing. From Miami, this is a long travel day. I haven’t been able to pull this off in over 10 years now. For the longest, I felt like I was the gatekeeper. The runner-up guy. They would spam me and try to get the big pop for the babyface or whatever, but I don’t know. This feels like me. And I think there’s so many different fingers and signs pointing to this.”

Roman Reigns feels he set up WWE for success

During the interview, Roman Reigns added that he set up the company for huge success with his historic 1316-day title reign.

The OTC detailed that fans demanded more from WWE stars, and the current torchbearers weren’t doing their part. Reigns noted that fans knew he was a proven commodity and wanted him to be at the helm.

I think we’re at a place where our fans are demanding more. I set us up. I put us in a position to be fulfilled in the promised land. To be in a position to break records and make an ungodly amount of money. And we’re at that point where our fans are craving that. It’s a proof of concept with me. They know what they’re getting with me.”

It will be interesting to see if Roman Reigns can outlast 29 other men and win the Men’s Royal Rumble match this year.
