Let's take a closer look at five things we learned from WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston's Sportskeeda interview.
#5 Kofi Kingston discusses Roman Reigns' WWE Universal Championship reign so far
Arguably the biggest talking point throughout the ThunderDome era of WWE programming was Roman Reigns' heel turn and character change.
After a brief hiatus from the company, Reigns returned at SummerSlam 2020 and subsequently turned heel, aligning himself with Paul Heyman.
The Tribal Chief quickly recaptured the Universal Championship and has held the title for over one full year.
Kofi Kingston stated that he feels like Roman has grown immensely since they shared the ring previously, and that the Universal Champion has found his true persona:
"Oh my god yeah. For sure, like I think this past year, Roman has really found himself. You know? Just this cool, cocky, collected, sadistic persona. It just feels right. I think we all saw it during the pandemic when we're watching it unfold. Like 'this Tribal Chief thing, he found it!' You get on the edge of your seat and you want to know what he's going to say next and how he's going to perform. So obviously Roman brings a lot to the table when you talk about this rivalry [with The Usos]. But yeah, we've mixed it up with Roman too. The New Day and The Shield have had some incredible matches. But I think the difference is, like I said before, Roman has grown so much, so much since those days. Now he's like the best version of himself," Kingston stated.
