11 Best Quotes Of Roman Reigns' WWE Career

Roman Reigns' mic skills have been criticized a lot over the years with people calling him bland and boring; something not expected from a superstar who is to be the face of a company like WWE. While there have been instances of him spewing the occasional insults or delivering a good promo, they weren't many in number.

This was until Roman Reigns turned heel a couple of years ago and under the guidance of Paul Heyman showed off his true self on the mic and during promos. It was natural and Roman's character fit in perfectly well. In less than two years, Roman has given us a lot of incredible moments in the ring and also on the mic!

11 "This Is My Yard Now"

Roman Reigns and the newest inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame The Undertaker had a rivalry that led to a match at WrestleMania 33. The match was okay at best with Roman beating Taker after a vicious spear.

The next night on Raw began with Roman coming out to a chorus of boos. Roman was standing in the ring as the fans let him know exactly what they thought of him; insult after insult, quite similar to John Cena at One Night Stand in 2006. After nearly 5-6 minutes, Roman says, "This is my yard now" and walks away as the boos intensified around the arena.

10 "I'm Gonna Smash You And Send You Back To NXT"

Roman Reigns Finn Balor Summerslam 2021 Contract Signing

WWE did a great job in the build-up to Roman Reigns' SummerSlam match in 2021. Finn Balor was set to sign on the dotted line. WWE pulled off a major twist by having Baron "broke" Corbin take out Balor and John Cena proceeded to do the same to Corbin and eventually signed the contract.

During the contract signing initially, Roman Reigns was laying waste to Finn on the mic and even referred to Finn going back to NXT from the main roster with this epic quote, "I'm gonna smash you and send you back to NXT."

9 "I Would've Chosen Your Wife"

One of the most interesting Roman Reigns feuds this year was that of the former Shield brethren, Seth "Freakin" Rollins at the Royal Rumble for the Universal Championship. Both these superstars have wrestled each other multiple times in the past and every one of their bouts was equally exciting.

In their first face-to-face segment this year, Seth and Roman were trading shots when the latter decided to make things a tad bit personal when he said, "If I wanted to main event the Royal Rumble with a megastar, I would've chosen your wife," referring to Big Time Becks, the then Raw Women's Champion. That must have hurt!

8 "It's Like Missionary Position Every Single Night"

Roman Reigns Paul Heyman Universal Championship

As mentioned earlier, the build-up to SummerSlam 2021, especially the Universal Championship, was one of the most memorable ones with both Roman and Cena taking shots at each other over the mic week-on-week prior to their match. The match was exciting with Roman beating Cena to retain his title. While Cena is clearly the better talker, Roman has improved quite a lot since their unscripted clash of words in their No Mercy contract signing segment in 2017.

In a very hilarious reference, Roman mentioned how it was the same John Cena from 2005 with his same jeans shorts and the same insults and compared him in a not so cheeky way by saying, "It's like missionary position every single night." The crowd went crazy.

7 "That's Not Just A Prediction. That's A Spoiler"

After Roman returned to WWE in spectacular fashion, turning into a full-blown heel, his character was taken to newer heights when he aligned with the advocate himself, Paul Heyman. The reveal shook the landscape of the industry, opened up a plethora of opportunities, and add Brock Lesnar to the mix, the storyline turned out to be one of the most exciting ones in recent years.

The reveal came when Adm Pearce approached Roman Reigns to sign the contract for the Universal Championship match at Payback 2020 between himself, Braun Strowman, and The Fiend. During the segment, Roman went on to say how he was going to walk out of Payback the Universal Champion and added, "And that's not just a prediction, that's a spoiler" to reveal his "wise man" in Paul Heyman.

6 "Tomorrow's Not Guaranteed. The Most Important Things Are The Relationships That We Have"

After returning to WWE post-Leukemia in 2019, Roman wasted no time in trying to get The Shield back. However, the road wasn't easy as Dean Ambrose (currently, Jon Moxley) turned heel and brutally assaulted Seth Rollins on the same night Roman relinquished his Universal Title due to Leukemia, which led to a very underwhelming feud between the two.

During a promo with Seth Rollins, Reigns said, "I want to get the band back together" referring to his Shield brothers. During the same promo, Reigns said he looked at the situation from a different perspective and went on to say, "Tomorrow's not guaranteed. We don't know how much time we have. Life is short, man. The most important things are the relationships that we have and you two are my brothers. Reigns was trying to convince Seth to reunite The Shield one last time. A couple of weeks later, Ambrose agreed, and the band was back together, ready to serve justice!

5 "You Will Always Be My Favorite Number 2"

Roman Reigns Drew McIntyre Champion vs Champion Contract Signing Survivor Series

Here is another classic quote from Reigns during the contract signing for the Champion vs Champion match at Survivor Series 2020 between Roman and Drew McIntyre. The two have excellent chemistry in the ring and their Survivor Series match was a treat to watch.

The segment was a gentle war of words between the two with both trading advice with each other. Roman went on to say how he loved Drew and how Drew will one day become the man he wanted to become and closed it with, "You will always be my favorite number two".

4 "Who Said Anything About Rumors"

In October 2017, rumors were running wild of The Shield reuniting and WWE did a great job of portraying the same. During a MIZ TV segment on Raw, Miz was celebrating his newly won Mizzie award before he was interrupted by Roman Reigns.

Every Version Of The Shield, Ranked From Worst To Best

The Miz insulted Reigns by saying that the rumors of The Shield reuniting were exactly what Roman was; nothing but hype. Roman dropped a single line statement, "Who said anything about rumors?" and that transformed the entire atmosphere in the building. Dean came out and was followed by Seth and the trio went on to destroy The Miz, Curtis Axel, and The Bar.

3 "It's Almost As Bad As Raw"

Roman Reigns' savagery kept on increasing after his heel turn and this was no exception. Roman missed the SmackDown on October 28, 2021. On that night, The Usos were pinned clean by The New Day in an exciting tag team match.

Roman returned the next week and in the backstage area went on to rant about how things have fallen apart during his one week of vacation. He said, "I go on one vacation and it all falls apart. I take one vacation and SmackDown sucks. It's almost as bad as Raw." Jimmy burst out laughing, but Roman was having none of it.

2 "I'm Going To Goldberg Goldberg"

One of the biggest dream matches that was supposed to happen at WrestleMania 36 happened at this year's Elimination Chamber PPV between "The Head of the Table" Roman Reigns and WWE Hall of Famer, Goldberg. It was a short match with Roman coming out on top after making Goldberg pass out to the guillotine submission hold.

During the build-up, Roman had a sit-down interview with Michael Cole where he went on to say he is the greatest of all time and vowed to Goldberg Goldberg at the Elimination Chamber, implying that he would smash his opponent just like how Goldberg does it.

1 "Acknowledge Me"

Roman Reigns is having the run of his life as The Tribal Chief and the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Ever since his heel turn in the summer of 2020, Roman has got a different edge, be it in his wrestling style or even on the mic during promos and sometimes even during matches.

During this time, he has had many catchphrases like, "I'm gonna smash" my opponent," "We The Ones," and "Wreck everyone and leave." But the most iconic line that has stood with him to date is when he says, "Acknowledge Me!"
