Top 50 Roman Reigns Quotes

I don’t think anybody else could have gone out there with Brock Lesnar and do what I did. I stand by that, and I’m proud of it. My father and my mother were in the front row watching, and they got to see their son go toe-to-toe with Brock Lesnar. Not many people can say that.

Everyone’s a critic: when you are doing something good, everybody wants to bring you down, and that’s something I’ve been told. People want to see you do good, but not too good.
