Big E discusses Roman Reigns.
Big E and Roman Reigns have crossed paths several times in WWE, going back as far as Roman's days in The Shield. However, off screen, the pair have been friends since their FCW days.
While speaking to IGN in a new video promoting WWE 2K25, E was asked about the cover star of the game, Roman Reigns.
"I've known Roman for 14 years now. I remember him when he played football at Georgia Tech. I was a defensive tackle, he was a defensive tackle. So he's someone, I've been aware of him since college. I think it was all conference at Georgia Tech. So he was someone, a name I knew from college. Then starting off, there's a video of me benching 575 at Cena's gym that was used in a promo package and it's Roman spotting me. Especially when you first come up in WWE and FCW, there were probably about 40 of us training together in a warehouse. So we're together every single day. We're doing shows on the weekends. We're training together. So I've known Roman pretty well."
Elsewhere in the same interview, Big E spoke about his desire to face off with Goldberg. You can read more about that here.
On this week's Friday Night SmackDown, Paul Heyman declared March 14th 'Roman Reigns' day. You can read more about that here.
