WWE: Roman Reigns talks about his biggest fight and it is not with The Undertaker
Reigns also explains the origin of his ring name.
Roman Reigns has revealed the biggest WWE fight of his career was with Triple H at WrestleMania 32.
Reigns on the Talk Is Jericho podcast said the fight with Hunter at WrestleMania 32 was like getting in the ring with The Undertaker.
"The biggest one of them all for me would have to be with [Triple] H. Yeah, man, being in the ring with him, and that's another guy that kind of feels like how it is with The Undertaker," Reigns said.
Reigns also said that the fight he had most fun was with the Big Show at Extreme Rules Last Man Standing match.
"But one I enjoyed, and was really rocking, was with Big Show," he said. "We had that Last Man Standing match in Chicago and it was... Man, it was such a dope match. Like, really cool bumps, and really cool moments, and he's so good, and it's so easy with him."
Reigns joined the main roster in November 2012 after a stint at the WWE's developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), where he went by the name Roman Leakee but later was changed to Roman Reigns after WWE rebranded FCW as NXT.
Reigns said the idea for a new ring name for him was developed by him and current WWE commentator Corey Graves. Initially, the WWE star wanted to just go with just Roman but Graves insisted that he chose a last name. They came across former WWE star Calvin Raines and Reigns immediately liked the last name of the wrestler as it sounded like "rain". However, the spelling was changed after Graves suggested Reigns and explained that it sounds "like a king reigns".
"I was like, 'Whoa, I like that.' And there you go. And total heel name too!" Reigns said.
