Sam BrownHOST

Sam BrownHOST
Like I saw him in FCW, uh, and you can kind of see like the similarities between him and when he's there and maybe early shield.
Sam BrownHOST
But when you look at what he's like today, he, is two completely different wrestlers.

David ShoemakerHOST

Kazeem FamuyideHOST

John McAdamGUEST
And it's okay, it's easy to be a tweener when they're asking that from you.
John McAdamGUEST
When it's a night-to-night thing, it's hard.
Thomas MontaltoHOST
Dude, do you not agree his match versus Punk at Mania? No,
Mike BelcasterHOST
I agree with everything you said about him being on a tear this year, but from watching him come from FCW, that was the best showcase of Roman Reigns ever.
Mike BelcasterHOST
When he flipped Penta on the apron, I was like, what is going on? It was insane.
Mike BelcasterHOST
