#1 Roman Reigns reveals why he was chosen to be 'the guy' in WWE

The Universal Champion Roman Reigns has received a lot of flak over the years from fans for being the chosen one and getting a push in WWE. Speaking on Corey Graves' After The Bell podcast, The Big Dog revealed that being the face of a company is a lot of hard work that not everyone is capable of doing.

WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns stated that to be the top guy, one has to put in some extra effort that not everyone is willing to put in.

''Everybody wants that push. Everybody, 'Man! If they just push me! Why am I not here. But when the work comes they start b***hing and moaning about it. They start complaining. You say you want to be the guy but you don't want to work on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. You don't want to work on a Saturday. You don't want a double shot, you don't want to do media before and after the show, you don't want to catch the flight all the way across the country to do the hit for ESPN.'' (H/t: SportsKeeda)
