Roman Reigns: I Try To Forget Philadelphia And Royal Rumble 2015
Roman Reigns reflects on Royal Rumble 2015.
With the help of The Rock, Roman Reigns won the 2015 Royal Rumble, setting him up for his first WrestleMania main event. Despite The Rock’s endorsement, the crowd in Philadelphia booed Reigns, leaving both men looking a little perplexed.
Speaking on his upcoming A&E Biography (via CBS Sports), Reigns looked back on that moment.
“I was booed, historically. You think about these moments. You dream about them, and the moment that it actually happens, it’s like they’re playing the worst soundtrack of all time over your moment, ruining your party. That’s how the Rumble in Philly felt. I try to forget Philly. I try to forget the Royal Rumble,” Reigns said. “There’s only one positive, and that’s the fact that it’s going to be able to tie all the way back around at WrestleMania 40.”
Reigns will headline both nights of WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia, teaming with The Rock on night one to face Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins.
Reigns will defend the WWE Universal Championship against Rhodes in the main event of night two.
“Biography: WWE Legends” premieres Sunday, March 31 on A&E.
