In a new IGN video where he plays some WWE 2K25, former WWE Champion Big E discussed his relationship with Roman Reigns.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On Roman Reigns: “I’ve known Roman for 14 years now. I remember him when he played football at Georgia Tech. I was a defensive tackle, he was a defensive tackle. So he’s someone, I’ve been aware of him since college. I think it was all conference at Georgia Tech. So he was someone, a name I knew from college.”
On an old video of Reigns spotting him in the gym: “Then starting off, there’s a video of me benching 575 at Cena’s gym that was used in a promo package and it’s Roman spotting me. Especially when you first come up in WWE and FCW, there were probably about 40 of us training together in a warehouse. So we’re together every single day. We’re doing shows on the weekends. We’re training together. So I’ve known Roman pretty well.”
During a recent appearance on the “Ring the Belle” podcast, former WWE Superstar and Women’s Champion Wendi Richter expressed her desire to see Cyndi Lauper be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Lauper’s “Girl Just Want to Have Fun”: “I still love that song. Years later, I was still going out to the ring to that song, they knew that song. They knew who was coming out. I think it always will be [a popular song]. It’s fun. Just having Cyndi Lauper, that’s all I needed.”
On wanting Cyndi Lauper to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame: “After that, I became a household word. I’m just hoping that someday she’ll be inducted into the Hall of Fame in the celebrity division. I mean, she’s done more for wrestling than any celebrity has. So, it just has to be that it’s not good timing for her.”
