As he continues to make an impact on WWE television, he is also starting to begin his entry onto the big screen.

On being the top dog in WWE:
“Once you get where I’m at now, you want to take care of your investment. You want to make sure what you’ve invested in looks good, but, there is a competition and it is a lion’s den and to get to the top you can’t be scared to crack a few eggs. There’s so many guys that want to be that lead guy, there’s so many ultra alpha males, which in turn creates that competition which I think helps someone like me. This isn’t for everyone and some guys buckle under the pressure but Roman thrives in that environment.”
On advice to people on the rise in pro wrestling:
“I’ve always been a creature of competition, someone who always wants to rise to the occasion. So for people who are trying to get within the sports entertainment business and be in WWE and be at the very top of the industry, you have to thrive on that competition and you can’t be scared to get scarred here and there and people are going to go for your head here and there, you have to be willing to stand in there, stand in that box and swing for the fences every single time.”
