Randy Orton believes he deserves credit for Roman Reigns' success
Randy Orton recently spoke about Roman Reigns and briefly discussed his journey into becoming a main event star.
Speaking on WWE's The Bump, The Viper reflected on Reigns headlining WrestleMania on multiple occasions.
"I remember cutting a promo with him [Roman Reigns] around 10 years ago in the ring... I am basically telling him everything I have done and how he has done none of that. Now here we are, ten years later, I think he has main-evented WrestleMania like maybe six years in a row, or something like that. That's unheard of. It is almost like after he faced me at SummerSlam in 2014, I was like the good luck rabbit's foot or something," he said.
Orton added:
"I think at least half of the credit. At least half of the credit should be mine. Does that mean I get a percentage of his merch sales?"
Roman Reigns will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the upcoming Royal Rumble Premium Live Event in a Fatal Four-Way Match involving Randy Orton, LA Knight, and AJ Styles.
