Following his victory over Jinder Mahal at the WWE Money In The Bank 2018 pay-per-view on Sunday night, Roman Reigns cut a pretty intense backstage promo.
Featured below is the video of the promo, which features Reigns delivering a warning to any and all incoming talents to WWE, noting that he refuses to be a stepping-stone for anybody.
“It’s not what I had planned originally but sometimes you gotta send a statement,” Reigns said. “There’s a lot of new guys, a lot of aggressive talent coming up. A lot of guys with a lot of experience and they all want to take what’s mine.”
Reigns continued, “A lot of people can say what they want about me but I busted my ass for 6 years to make this place mine, to mold it the way I wanted it to be, to make it a better place, to leave it better than I found it, and that’s what I’ve done.
“I’ll be damned, I do not care who you are, what kind of name you’re trying to make… you’re not going to use me as a stepping stone. This is my yard – in the ring, out the ring, in the back, in the locker room, I am the man around here. So if you want it, come get it.”
