Roman Reigns: 'If you're in the ring with me, your value will increase'

Roman Reigns will go down in history as one of the greatest superstars of WWE, as well as one of the most polarizing figures in the business. "The Tribal Chief" is both loved and hated by fans alike. His detractors have criticized the company's unwavering support for the Samoan, as well as his status as a part-timer even while holding the world championship.

Setting aside this polarization, the truth is that Reigns is one of the top money-makers for the company. Furthermore, his sporadic appearances make each match feel special. That's exactly what happened just nine days ago in Mexico when Roman faced off against Penta in one of the most highly praised matches of the year in WWE. This topic was addressed in a recent interview with "The OTC" for Complex.

One thing is to have a match with me. And another very different thing is to be the wrestler we are preparing to take my place, or to use my position to propel them to the top. If you're in the ring with me, your value increases. It may sound arrogant, but I don't say it with that intention. I simply mean that, if you step into the ring with me, you're going to face the best version of Roman Reigns

Reigns made it clear that any talent he works with must have "something special," as well as their own connection with the fans. This way, he can help them further enhance their abilities.

If you pair someone like that with a person like me, I can harness that potential and try to make it even greater. But that person must already have something unique that makes them special

Reigns will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight at Money in the Bank. After three years of waiting, "The Megastar" will finally have the opportunity to once again face off against "The OTC" for the top prize on the Raw brand. LA Knight has promised that the outcome this time will be different from before, as Reigns will not have any outside help. It's worth noting that the Samoan has set his sights on defeating his opponents cleanly to establish a strong legacy as champion.
