Even though Roman Reigns is a terrific and convening heel, he is the same funny person outside WWE as the rest of us. One of the most interesting aspects of his personal life is his relation with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

In a recent interview with Complex, “The Big Dog” expressed his thought on The Rock breaking through his own house’s gates to get to work. 

“Yeah I saw it on Instagram, I can definitely see him do it but what really caught me was- did you see all the trash cans. He had Like 10 tra– I’m like, I thought I had a bunch of trash cans,” joked Reigns. “We have like 3 trash cans and the recycling bin but I saw like 10 trash cans like, who in the hell has 10 trash cans.”

Well here’s the destruction 🤦🏽‍♂️ I left behind after pulling my gates off myself and going to work. This footage was taken from my security after I had already left and he arrived on the scene. The second video is of our technicians and welders carrying one of the gates and placing it gently in the grass. As you guys know from my last post, there was a power outage at my house, causing my gates to not open. Sure as hell wasn’t my best hour, but there were a lot of people waiting for me at work so I did what I had to do, hopped in my pick up and went to work. Maybe next time I’ll just hop the gates and call an Uber. Actually, no I won’t. There’s no fun in that 😈 Jokes aside, THANK YOU to the techs and welders who mobilized very quickly in the morning to come over and take care of the destruction. Thank you, gentlemen. Just one of those days where I wasn’t in the mood. We’ve all been there. 🥃 #ripgates

Dwayne Johnson was having a rough morning. The electricity in his area of residence was cut off temporarily. This meant that his electric gates would not work or open to anyone, even him. 

Johnson was getting late to work and grew frustrated by the situation. Taking matters into his own hands, quite literally, he tore down the large metallic gates with his own hands!

Roman Reigns has a very unusual takeaway from the incident

“The Brahma Bull” then shared a picture of the same on Instagram which became the topic of discussion for the rest of the day.

“He ripped it clean off. That’s dedication right there. That means you’ve got a good job. When you’re willing to damage your home to go to work that means you got a good career,” says Reigns.

This massive feat of strength is not surprising at all. The Rock is known to be a sort of global ambassador for fitness. His physique has only improved since leaving WWE and he has now become one of the most popular figures in the world.

Roman Reigns has been teased with a fight with The Rock, who happens to be his cousin. Johnson has already mentioned that he would be up for it should the plans come his way.

Reigns will have to work his way up that mountain. We don’t know about him, but any sane person would know better than to challenge a man who ripped down his own gates with bare hands.
