Roman Reigns segment brought out the 'most serious' version of 17-year WWE veteran, feels legend: "That wasn't something that was scripted"
Roman Reigns' run as the top name of WWE has involved many stars. The Original Tribal Chief has helped several talents reach the top of their game, bringing out the best in everyone.
While the WWE Universe has been divided over this, Roman Reigns made many contributions to getting Jey Uso to where he is now. The latter has become one of the biggest singles stars in the industry, and he is in line for some massive championship opportunities in the future.
During a recent Busted Open Radio's Holiday Party episode, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry addressed Jey Uso's segment with Roman when both men reunited ahead of Survivor Series.
The legend stated that the segment in which Jey stood face-to-face with Reigns and said he was very different now was not scripted. Henry added that this was the 'most serious' the 17-year veteran has been since his debut in the Stamford-based company in 2007.
"The fact that he stood face-to-face, toe-to-toe with Roman Reigns and said, 'Listen, I'm not who I used to be'... He meant what he said when he said that to Roman. That wasn’t something that was scripted to him—that was the realest thing that he could have said. I’m proud of him for finding that place because every wrestler don't," stated Mark Henry.

Will we see Roman Reigns alongside The Usos in the future?
After their win at Survivor Series: WarGames, there has been no update on whether The OG Bloodline will stay united or return to their single paths with the Road to WrestleMania on the horizon.
While fans would love to see Reigns alongside his brothers and Sami Zayn in the new year, only time will tell what Triple H and WWE have in store for the stars in the future.
