After Monday’s WWE Raw went off the air from the Value City Arena at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio, fans in attendance sang happy birthday to Roman Reigns.
In an out character moment, Reigns thanked the fans and told them how much he appreciated their love and support.
“Well, Columbus, you really know how to make your Tribal Chief feel special. You know it’s tough being in the WWE because it’s a family business. It’s hard to transition when you’re fighting with your family, so I just want to be grateful and have gratitude for all of you. This ain’t bull—. This is the real deal. Before I get out of here, man, it’s hard to describe this life. It’s hard to explain, and I just try to pray and be thankful every single day, man. This is the best. I hope everyone back there can feel the way I feel these days, but I feel like a lottery winner. And like anybody that’s doing well, there’s a lot of hard work, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t happen without y’all. So whether it’s my birthday, whether it’s a Monday, a Wednesday, a Sunday, it doesn’t matter. It’s a blessed day. I just want to say thank you, everybody. Please get home safe.”
Reigns, turned 41-years old on Monday. He was part of the closing segment on Monday’s show which was a contract signing with Jacob Fatu for a Tribal Combat World Title Match which takes place at Clash in Italy on Sunday, May 31.
