Aleister Black Speaks On His Time With Roman Reigns
But after making his way to the blue show of WWE; Smackdown, things have changed a lot for him. WWE was determined to push him high since the very first day of his arrival. But fans were pretty much unhappy just after a while. The same complaint with him remained that always stayed with John Cena; he was being over pushed.
At a time, WWE stopped over pushing Roman Reigns but one complaint was still there; fans wanted him as a heel. And that is what exactly happened soon after he joined Smackdown. He stated playing a new gimmick of a Tribal Chief and Paul Heyman started accompanying him. He also won the WWE Universal Championship as well.
This time fans did not mind it. In fact, they loved it. Reigns played his role superbly and he is currently carrying Smackdown as a prime show.
Former WWE star Aleister Black recently spoke on the Straight Shooting podcast where he remembered his time with the current WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and how was the atmosphere of the locker room of WWE. He said;
“The culture, when it comes to that, is much healthier. There was a tour where I sat down with Samoa Joe, who I have known for a long time and he’s always been good to me, and I sat down with Roman as well. It was one of the first times I really felt how great Roman is as a locker room leader.
“That’s a good memory where we kind of forged a bond and I could pick his brain on a few things. He’s only the guy who carries our business. Same with the Usos. It was good and comfortable. As bad as some of the experiences were, the locker rooms were always great. Our locker rooms were lovely and we had a lot of fun. The men’s locker room was always super cool with each other.”
