Roman Reigns was quizzed on a variety of subjects during an appearance on ESPN's Keyshawn, JWill & Max show. When asked about the possibility of working with The Rock, Reigns emphasized that he was the best possible opponent for The People's Champion since he had set himself apart from the rest of the roster with his body of work.

The Tribal Chief also added that his real-life relationship with The Rock would factor into a possible feud between them.

''It’s the ultimate alpha male showcasing; who's going to be the big shark in the tank. I think, with everything that I’ve done, with where I’ve pushed this persona, and the character work, and my claim, my rightful claim at the head of this table. Us being very close and like family, I don’t think there’s any other choice. If he ever wanted to get back into a WWE ring, I am definitely the guy he’s going to want to be facing off agains," said Roman Reigns.
