WWE News - Roman Reigns reveals how he tried to earn Vince McMahon's respect

Roman Reigns says he has attempted to earn the respect of Vince McMahon and the rest of WWE’s decision-makers throughout his career by simply doing what he is asked every time he is booked in a segment or match on television.

According to WWE news, while speaking in an interview with Muscle & Fitness, the SmackDown Superstar gave an insight into his thought process as a WWE performer by revealing that he will occasionally try to change a script if it does not feel right for his character.

However, for the most part, he believes the right approach is to do exactly as he has been asked by McMahon & Co.

"We have writers, their job is to write us a script, but obviously if it's just something that doesn't feel right, as the performer who's in front of the red light, you have to adjust and you have to make it work for you.

"But I think every situation is different. As a young performer who is trying to build that equity with Vince, all of the above, everybody who is kind of in that Gorilla Position [backstage area], and watching and critiquing everything that you’re doing, I think you have to earn the keys to the car."
