WWE Champion Roman Reigns talks about catching the mic at SummerSlam against Brock Lesnar
Roman Reigns appeared for the first time on fellow WWE superstar, Logan Paul’s podcast, ImPaulsive. When asked about the viral mic catch at SummerSlam, Reigns said, “The boy’s got hands. So I played baseball back so I’m right-handed but caught with my left. He threw it right in my hand but I catch good with my left. You know, it’s just one of those things, like an old college party trick or something. Someone throws something at you, and you just catch it.”
