Styles challenging Reigns for the WWE Title, Chris Jericho vs. Dean Ambrose in an Asylum cage match, and Charlotte vs. Natalya for the Women&#8217;s Title.<\/p>\n<p>Coach asked Reigns what he thinks about facing Styles for the second time at Extreme Rules. Reigns said he has a lot of\u00a0respect for Styles wrestling all over the world &#8220;competing against some of the greatest talent in the world for a bunch of different promotions.&#8221; But, Reigns said, now Styles is with &#8220;the company, WWE.&#8221;\u00a0And, since they&#8217;re on SportsCenter, Reigns joked that it&#8217;s not going to work between them since Styles is about the Georgia Bulldogs and he played for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.<\/p>\n<p>Reigns was asked how he&#8217;s handling being the top champion with everyone looking at him on a nightly basis. Reigns said he comes to work ready to go 52 weeks per year,\u00a0he&#8217;s excited about the responsibility, and having his family on the road with him is a big help.<\/p>\n<p>Asked how the influx of NXT talent to the main roster has affected things, Reigns said it&#8217;s created a completely different locker room environment. Reigns said when The Shield came in four years ago, it was a bunch of &#8220;old dogs&#8221; in the locker room. Now, he feels like it&#8217;s his locker room and his arena. Reigns welcomed everyone from NXT to come join what he&#8217;s leading on the main roster.<\/p>\n<p>As for advice he would give to upcoming stars, Reigns said, &#8220;Believe in yourself.&#8221; He said there are so many different platforms now for people to &#8220;run their mouth,&#8221; which could be a distraction from not believing in what you&#8217;re doing.<\/p>\n<p>Reigns talked about being in the main event of WrestleMania for the second straight year. He said it was a blessing to be in that position. Asked what it was like being in the ring with Brock Lesnar last year and Triple H this year, Reigns said it&#8217;s dealing with two different approaches. He credited Lesnar for being one of the only wrestlers on the roster more powerful than himself in the ring, while Hunter is more cerebral.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4120502669\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1564352550\"><div id=\"pwtor-2468957714\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE on ESPNews SportsCenter Airdate: Tuesday, May 17, 2016 Guest: WWE World Hvt. champion Reigns Host: Jonathan Coachman This week&#8217;s WWE interview segment on SportsCenter featured Roman Reigns for the second time.
