Roman Reigns is promising UAE fans a spectacular show as the WWE returns to the Middle East this week.
The sports entertainers will wow crowds in Abu Dhabi on December 7 and 8 at the Zayed Sports City Tennis Stadium with a stellar line-up of some of the company’s leading superstars.
Reigns, now a seven-year veteran of WWE, says he can’t wait to perform in the capital: “I’m super excited,” the 32-year-old said.
“This show is going to be excellent, the energy is always up and the talent we are going to bring is incredible.”
Reigns will take on WWE royalty in Triple H – a mouthwatering clash which is sure to capture the imagination of all.
“Going against Triple H, I think that speaks for itself.” He said. “We were the main event of the largest WrestleMania of all time and we are proud to be able to bring this to the WWE Universe in Abu Dhabi. I can guarantee we are going to put on a spectacular show.”
Never one to shy away from the limelight, Reigns has had his ups and downs in the ring – but wouldn’t change anything: “It’s been an awesome roller-coaster ride and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me. I am grateful for all the opportunities and the things I have been able to enjoy and achieve. It’s been a great run thus far.”
Although he might not always be the most popular with certain pockets of WWE fans, Reigns has been compared to some of the greats of sports entertainment and has become the face of the company.
“I never look at it as being the next anybody, I just want to be first Roman Reigns,” he added. “It’s very flattering, you’re in good company when you are being compared to John Cena and Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), but all I can be is me, all I can be is Roman Reigns and that’s all I want to be.”
Joining Roman Reigns in Abu Dhabi is a lengthy list of superstars including Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, The Bar, Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks, Braun Strowman and Finn Balor.
