Backstage, cameras shifted towards Roman Reigns, who was in his locker room preparing for possibly the biggest match of his life tonight. The crowd upon seeing him began to boo while some, the 'minority', cheered. Not that it mattered to Roman. His focus tonight was on winning the contenders match and going on to face his 'little brother' and current TNWR Champion Seth Rollins for the gold at Slammiversary. But right now was all about the prep for the big fight. Approaching nearby was Jojo, fellow ring announcer and journalist for TNWR. Roman caught a glance of her, looking up at her stopping what he was doing. He didn't want to be rude of course. "What's up Jojo?" Reigns stood up asking, sending the already booing crowd into a frenzy. It's like he had just killed a puppy or something. Why people chose to boo him was beyond his knowledge buuuut he just rolled with it.
Anyway....
Jojo adjusted herself bringing the microphone she carried to her lips. "Roman. It's been on everyone's minds your thoughts going into this match with Finn Bálor and your cousin, The Rock. How do you feel for tonight's match?" Roman mulled over the question taking the time to think it over briefly before responding. When he figured out what he was going to say he began, "Jojo, tonight is no different from any other night. Only thing that's upped are the stakes. People are reading into my cousin, The Rock being in this match too much. They're going; "Oh Rock and Roman have the advantage because they're family. They can takeout Bálor." but what they're forgetting is that only one man can walk out of that match." Roman said, allowing his words to sink in to Jojo and the listening crowd who still booed. "They also forgetting this ain't no normal triple threat match either. Sure, Rock and I take out Bálor but then it's still back down to us. Way I see it, Rock and I are family and that ain't gonna change. But when we enter those ropes, step inside that ring, stand face to face from each other. I see another man who wants what I want. And I want to be the number one contender. So tonight is no different from any other night Jojo. One vs All. Tonight I bring the fight to The Rock. Tonight I bring the fight to Finn Bálor. And after I win tonight, at Slammiversary, I bring the fight to Seth Rollins." Reigns said clenching his jaw together after making his statement.
Jojo gave a small smile pleased with the answer and confidence Reigns showed. "Thank you for your time Roman and good luck in your match." she said walking off. Reigns gave a nod and cameras shifted back onto him as he put on his gloves. A commercial break is called for shortly after.
