Former WWE Champion John "Bradshaw" Layfield recently looked back on his experience working with Roman Reigns, the current WWE Universal Champion.
Reigns is arguably the top superstar in the company right now. He has held the title for over 500 days, and he'll face Brock Lesnar in a high-profile Winner Take All match at WrestleMania 38. This contest is being billed as the biggest WrestleMania bout in WWE history.
During this week’s episode of “Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw,” JBL revealed that he once worked with Roman Reigns as his agent. Bradshaw opined that, even several years ago, the SmackDown star had a great mind for the business.
“I worked as an agent for just a few months and it drove me nuts and I had to quit," said Bradshaw. "Roman was probably the smartest guy I worked with that entire time. Roman is a brilliant guy. I would sit down with him. He had a mind for the business. He had a mind for the match, and this isn’t now. This was back many years ago before all these WrestleMania main events. He was that good."
