“Yeah, I watched a couple of the shows, I did not follow it like thoroughly,” said Reigns. “I try to use as much of the time to be with my family and just, you know, really focus in and be present here at home. But on a few of the shows that I saw, I was just like, Man, this is trash, like, you know what I mean?” 

‘The Tribal Chief’ claims to have a better understanding of what to do to sell content to the fans. 

“There’s no disrespect to what they were doing. They’re busting their ass working really hard. But for me, I was like, man, I just know when it’s time to pull my trigger. I know exactly what I want to do,” explained Reigns. “I know exactly the kind of stories that I want to tell and the way the different tools that I want to utilize in order to connect with our crowd, our audience that’s watching at home.”
