Could politics be in Roman Reigns’ future? Ahead of this weekend’s WrestleMania, Reigns spoke to Vanity Fair about a variety of topics, including his future with the WWE, Vince McMahon, and politics.
During his interview, Reigns had nothing but praise for President Trump despite being a registered Democrat.
“One person was giving us information. One person was answering questions, so it wasn’t that hard.” [When asked if that means that he backed Trump, Reigns pauses for a few seconds] “I support our president. Trump is one of those guys where he’s got a vast history and a huge background. He’s been in entertainment. He’s been in big business, politics. At this point, I’m supporting a bright future for our country.”
“Positive and competent leadership. For us to be what we’re supposed to be—to be a world leader and carry that respect and do what a world power like us should be doing.” [Reigns makes it clear that he doesn’t support everything he does] “It’s like he needs that adversary. He needs that opposition to bounce off of. He needs that competitive motivation or something.”
When asked if he would ever run for governor of Florida, Reigns left the door open to the possibility.
“You never know,” he says with a smile. “You just never know.”
While Reigns was half-joking, he probably would have a legit shot at winning the governor’s race, considering what Trump and other celebrities have done in politics recently.
