Roman Reigns a confirmé, dans une vidéo mise en ligne sur Instagram, qu’il sera bel et bien absent de Wrestlemania 36.
Reigns devait affronter Bill Goldberg pour le titre Universel, mais il a opté – avec la crise du coronavirus qui perdure – pour sa santé, étant affaibli au niveau immunitaire à la suite de sa bataille contre la leucémie.
“The Big Dog” a tenu à conseiller aux fans de profiter de ces moments de confinement pour travailler sur eux-mêmes, tout en veillant sur leurs proches.
Reigns réplique également aux fans le traitant de peureux car il n’a pas voulu affronter Goldberg. Tout en trouvant étrange qu’autrefois, certains fans ne voulaient pas qu’il lutte à Wrestlemania, Reigns préfère penser à sa santé et à sa famille. Il ne veut pas porter attention à ceux qui le détestent, sans connaître sa vie actuelle. Reigns préfère se concentrer sur le positif.
“You already know what’s going on,” Reigns said. “It’s all over the news, the dirtsheets, whatever you want to call them, that I pulled out of WrestleMania. And it’s funny because for years now, for years, people have been like, ‘Don’t show up to WrestleMania, we don’t want you in it.’ You know what I mean? There’s a handful of dudes and haters that didn’t want me there, but the moment I make a choice for me and my family I’m a coward, I’m a sissy, a lot of different things that I am now.
“But you don’t know the whole story. All you know is what you think. ‘Oh well, his health and this and that.’ But you don’t know what else is going on in my life. You don’t know if I have newborns, you don’t know if I have family in my household, older family. So, yeah, like the old saying… goo and flip that cover open and read a few pages. Get into a few chapters before you really start running your mouth and just take this time to better yourself, be present, and make the most out of this because if we can’t grow in a time like this, I don’t think we have a chance, man. This is the most downtime I’ve ever seen in my life. So, I just challenge everybody and I’m taking the steps right here with you. I’m not perfect, I’m a hater too sometimes. You know what I mean? But I try to always put it in perspective of why I want something or why I might be jealous of something, and then I put it in my grind, I put it to work, I figure out how I can get whatever I need or want, and I put it to work, and I don’t focus on others hating on me, and I don’t put focus on driving negativity to anybody else.”
Reigns rappelle l’importance de veiller les uns sur les autres, en plus de profiter de la situation actuelle pour adopter de nouvelles habitudes de vie
Il s’excuse également auprès des fans pour ne pas être à Wrestlemania, mais il faut parfois faire des choix importants. Reigns affirme aimer tout autant le fait d’être un lutteur, promettant de revenir encore plus fort.
“For all my fans, you know I’m sorry I didn’t get to compete this year and put on a show and entertain,” Reigns said. “But sometimes things are more important and I had to make a choice for me and my family, but no matter what, you already know the deal. Man, I sure made that town. I made it to Orlando. I had to make a decision for me, but it doesn’t take anything away from what I’ve done and what I’m going to do. I still love this game, I still love pro wrestling, sports entertainment. I still love being in the ring. It’s a little weird being in the ring with nobody watching, nobody in the arena [laughing] but man, I’m ready to get back to work and I’m just taking these times, this little bit of time we have, to build up the outside and come as close as possible to perfecting the inside. So, everybody I love y’all, thank you for the support. Hopefully we can just continue to get better, man. Until then, stay safe and don’t touch your face… yessir!”
