Road Dogg is enjoying Roman Reigns’ character work since he turned heel in 2020 and re-established himself as the Tribal Chief.
On the latest episode of his “Oh… You Didn’t Know?” podcast, Dogg praised Reigns for his incredible portrayal of the best heel WWE has seen in years.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On if WWE waited too long for Reigns to turn heel: “No, I don’t think so. You gotta let stuff sit, you gotta let stuff simmer. I know that’s unpopular in today’s day and age, where I can get whatever I want, and I can get it right now. Sometimes you gotta sit on this, and see which way the wind blows. Boy, it blew in the right direction, because look [at] where we stand now, and where he stands now — as an individual and superstar.”
On Reigns’ success as a heel: “People hated him, they hated him. They hate him now, and yet everybody in the soldout arena, of which there are a lot of them now, acknowledges him on the weekly. They listen to his every word, they are hanging on his every word, and every facial [expression] in these in-ring promos.”
On Reigns’ current character work: “It’s the best I’ve ever seen in wrestling. I’ll say that without a shadow of a doubt. Roman getting down on his knees and crying, and then hitting [the low blow] … that hurt my heart.”
