Fans in Columbus chanted happy birthday to the WWE World Heavyweight champion Roman Reigns yesterday after Raw went off the air.
Reigns, who turned 41 yesterday, told the crowd that they really know how to make their Tribal Chief feel special and expressed his gratitude for every single one of them.
“This ain’t bullshit. This is the real deal. Before I get out of here, man, it’s hard to describe this life,” Reigns said. “It’s hard to explain, and I just try to pray and be thankful every single day. This is the best. I hope everyone back there [in the locker room] can feel the way I feel these days, but I feel like a lottery winner!”
He added that everyone who’s doing well doesn’t happen without hard work, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t happen without the fans either.
“So whether it’s my birthday, whether it’s a Monday, a Wednesday, a Sunday, it doesn’t matter. It’s a blessed day. I just want to say thank you, everybody. Please get home safe!”
Reigns will battle Jacob Fatu in a Tribal Combat match at Clash in Italy, where a new stipulation was added last night. If Fatu loses, then Fatu has to “serve” Roman and fall in line.
