6 best real-life stories of Roman Reigns

#4 The time Jey Uso made Roman cry

Roman is very close to Jimmy and Jey Uso

Roman Reigns has had many emotional moments as part of the WWE main roster in recent years, one of his most emotional perhaps being when he essentially retired The Undertaker back in April following their WrestleMania match.

It seems that Reigns didn't recall this as the last time he had actually cried about wrestling, instead, he told a story about a time when his "brother" Jey Uso treated him to a meal at a restaurant and the duo started talking about their wrestling careers.

Reigns was part of the FCW brand at the time, back in 2011 when Jey and his brother Jimmy were already part of WWE's main roster and Roman was still considered to be a newcomer to the business.

Reigns recalled that Jey had asked him to lay out his whole career on the table and tell him how he would book his way to the FCW Heavyweight Championship, which is where he realised that he wasn't on the same level as Jey at that point in time. He said that the pressure of the conversation was overwhelming and it made him quite emotional.

"I just wasn't on that level with him, and it kind of broke me down because I felt like I wasn't going to learn fast enough and become what I should be and what my family needed me to be. I think the pressure and just the emotion of that made me crack that night."

He continued: "I didn't know what to do and it was so frustrating because I wanted to be the best. I want to be the absolute greatest to do that, and I had that mindset since Day 1. Like anybody who is attached to anything or has a deep passion for it, it can strike those nerves and that night it did."
