Roman Reigns was recently a guest on Jimmy Traina’s ‘Off The Board’ podcast. During the interview, he was asked about his role as a locker room leader. Rumors of Enzo Amore having heat were specifically brought up in the question. In case you have missed it, there have been some rumors flying around about Enzo getting kicked off WWE’s bus by Roman Reigns on the European tour.

Reigns explained his role as a locker room leader and when someone has backstage heat. Here is what he said:

“I swing the sword, if I put the sentence down then I lay it down. If you have heat, that is what a locker room leader does, he speaks up for the rest of the bunch. It is tough when you too some many cooks in the kitchen and I am not the only guy that would speak up. But as the man that I am before I was in this business, I would have spoken up if something was wrong. To what I am today, within our industry I am a locker room leader”

He says that his goal is to leave WWE better than he found it and that nobody will disrespect the wrestling business in front of him:

“People can say whatever they want about me but I was born into this business. This business runs through my veins, if you cut my arm it is WWE that will leak out…… I’ve experienced many hardships and great moments in my life because of this business. The bottom line is, it has fed me my entire life. I don’t care who you are. You will not disrespect it. Not in front of me. Not today, not any day that I am alive.”

This goes with reports that Enzo said “something perceived as negative about the wrestling business”.
