Roman Reigns: I Should Have Tightened My Grip Around This Company's Neck

Roman Reigns talks about what changed in the last year.

This weekend at WrestleMania 41, Roman Reigns is set to main event yet another WrestleMania, this time on night one as he meets Seth Rollins and CM Punk in a triple threat match. In an additional change to the matchup, Paul Heyman will not be in Roman Reigns' corner, but CM Punk's at the event as a result of the favor owed to Punk for his War Games appearance last year.

In a new promo posted to social media, Roman talked about his current position, remarking that last year around this time, he was untouchable.

"It's funny how much a year can change. This time last year I was untouchable. I should have tightened my grip around this company's neck. There was a wise man that taught me diplomacy. 'You gotta think politically', I tried to help everyone. Most of them don't understand what a helping hand really looks like. What that really feels like. What do I get for it? Netflix. TKO. The mainstream. Billion dollar deals and somehow I'm out on my ass. I lift everybody up and somehow no one's got enough respect to just be true to their Tribal Chief. My father didn't agree with me. He used to say, son why do you care if they respect you? Why do you care if they acknowledge your talent and your contribution? Lessons learned."
