Is Roman Reigns inevitable, or is it all just a coincidence?
Roman Reigns has pretty much been unstoppable since returning to WWE at SummerSlam 2020. But has he drawn some inspiration from a certain Mad Titan during his current reign as champion?
Universal Champion Roman Reigns recently sat down with Graham Matthews of Bleacher Report to discuss all things WWE, including his visual presentation on television. When asked if his golden glove drew any inspiration from the Thanos Infinity Gauntlet from The Avengers movie franchise, Reigns reveals that although he’s seen the Avengers movies, it’s simply a coincidence.
“It’s more of a coincidence,” Reigns said. “I’m not going to say, ‘I’ve never watched The Avengers.’ No, I’ve seen all the movies, but honestly, I didn’t relate it to that. I just needed a change, and to me, the gold… it’s always been black, maybe a little bit of gray or blue. I’ve said it before: Everything I touch turns into gold, and that was the mindset I wanted to have. That power, the design of all of it and the underlying theme of what we’re trying to do is display power at its maximum in every regard.”
Roman Reigns is set to defend the WWE Universal Championship against Brock Lesnar on Thursday, October 21, at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. You can catch the event on Peacock in the United States or the WWE Network internationally. You can read the updated event card for Crown Jewel at this link.
