Lets not forget he is a blood cancer survivor huge respect to this man
Lol you still believe that. It was a public stunt by WWE to make fans love reigns
@@acquiles20 why would someone lie about having cancer he was diagnosed with cancer in his 20s
@@acquiles20 are you fkn dumb you low life npc
@Tyson Fuatimau lol Easily entertained wwe fan triggered.
@@acquiles20 non wrestling fan with no knowledge of the industry shares his opinion, go watch the podcasts of people who are not linked with WWE, even they knew the situation.
Joe in real life is like the type of guy that you would love to hangout with cuz he's so chill
everytime your with him or around a bunch of girls he always saids acknowledge me
Joe who?
Facts... Seems like a nice guy
@@badabing9143 Roman Reigns
Exactly
That wasn't a bad interview That wasn't a good interview That was THE interview
You can believe that
😁💪
Acknowledge it
He’s so down to earth when he’s on tv talk shows
@Halli Rose Amen ❤
@Halli Rose um no. A man cannot be God.
Because he's speaking as a human being and not having to bullshit like how the wee wanta him too.
@@Maya-zv3rm name any man that will die for your sin? why dont you try to die for my sin? your a man too.
@Halli Rose shut up Jesus isn’t real bitch
years ago Roman Reigns had one of the worst mic skills from a top guy and look him now, he has so natural, confidence talking. I can watch him talk and talk what a 180 turn from him!
He wasn’t bad he had a script ever since he came back in 2020 he’s do his own promos
He still has the worst mic skills.
Still average mic skills
@@mr.allday keep crying 🤣his avg mic skills is still better than job lassan's entire career🤣
Roman ❤
Cody Rhodes earned a lot of respect across the industry for that hell in a cell performance
yeah you can tell by how the audience cheered when roman brought his name up lol..... crickets
Fk no!! Lol
Wtf does this have to do with Roman😂😂😂😂
@@bb-gc2tx read this before i watched and was expecting a pop lol
@@bb-gc2txYou’re basing Cody’s popularity based on a Jimmy Fallon crowd? Lol
This guy is so scary and such a monster in the ring but his voice and mannerisms are so calm and soothing!
This is a good champion here, he stays in character a tiny bit but still puts over the other wrestlers and the product
I love how he’s not doing a storyline.. this is legit a real interview..
Most wrestling interviews are out of character these days tbh
kayfabe has been dead for a decade
It’s awesome
I miss kayfabe. There was a story of Mr. Wonderful Paul Ondroff. This kid asked autograph from him but Paul acted cocky in front everyone . He approached that kid once everyone left and said : Kid don’t tell anyone that I signed autograph cause they thinks I’m the bad guy
Imagine doing a storyline me personally couldn't be me but that just me
Seeing the Tribal Chief genuinely smiling is so dope...
A very Ucey smile indeed.
His non-chalant chuckle after "You're facing Kevin Owens." 😂😂💀💀💀 "Yeah..." the shade lol
What a fun segment. My god Roman has come such a long way! Turning him heel was the best thing for him and the company!
Heel Roman and super-friendly Joe = amazing personas!
I am happy that Roman Reigns brought both his titles with him on the show to let people know how good he really is.
They're props, homie. Whoever needs the title has the title. That's the way wrestling works. If he didn't have the titles he wouldn't be this "star" everyone claims he is. He even needs Paul Heyman to keep him over.
@@GabrielCroft Obviously they're props, but WWE still chose him to be the top guy for a couple years now. And he's been doing well in the position.
Both titles suit Roman so much 😊
@@GabrielCroftwell you can say that same thin for the UFC title that they are props too
@@GabrielCroft All WWE wrestlers are stars with or without titles. The belts just make them more known at the time.
Everybody gangsta until the glass shatters
Nah the glass shattering is easily more horrifying to an the gong. Undertaker started to get stale. Steve Austin could never get stale.
He deserves to be in Hollywoods. Just looks like a movie star. I hope he gets his big break in movies.
There will never, ever in the history of the Universe be a man that is as handsome as Roman. I said what I said. LOL
Yes
Hold up Roman said “40 minute performance” I didn’t realize I sat there for 40 minutes watching Seth and Cody have a banger live, felt like 20.
It was 24 minute match not 40
Well if we’re including entrances it might be a little bit longer
seth was the mvp of that whole ppv
"performance" is code for screen time not only inside the ring.
The match itself was around 25 minutes bell to bell. Wrestlers, however, tend to exaggerate a tad. And also, they also include their entrances and post match celebrations. From the second they come through the curtain before they leave.
Roman Reigns is the man! He’s so charismatic, always does great interviews and is incredible in the ring, the biggest star in WWE today 👏👏👏👏👏
rock should host wrestling 39
We are in the presence of greatness
No doubt 👍🏾
Roman Reigns is a mega star
Gotta love roman. I love his tribal chief heel run, but deep down it’s good to know he’s really a cool dude, humble as well, dudes been through quite a bit
Seeing Roman real confident and down to earth makes him being champ makes sense.
I wish Jimmy made him do the "OOOOOOOAAAHHHHHH" before his spear to the audience lol
Yo that's what I was waitin for
Hahaha I ove how he goes straight locked into character when KO is brought up!! 😂🤣
The frustrated smile at the mention of KO was a really nice touch.
Love that he is shouting out all these guys on a mainstream interview
The guy is on a whole different level. Untouchable. The other performers just live in his world. OH, AND 100%, the Rock will be at WM. This is how they build up the anticipation.
I'm 50/50 on that but I would love Reigns to beat Dwayne on Day 1 mania and on day 2 fight Sami for sami to win.
😂😂😂Sike
Don't get your hopes up lmao
Booking is on a different level and untouchable and they all live in the booking’s world.
Let's hope he doesn't get booed
5:15 Jimmy been waiting his whole life for this moment
Stealing Ryback's catchphrase? Gimmick infringement BRUTHURR!
Not really
If John Cena and the Rock had a child, you get Roman Reigns.
Roman still being in Character ☝🏽☝🏽💙💙
If Reigns doesn't hit the camera with a "Wake Up" tomorrow against KO, I'll be disappointed
haha so Kevin Owens initials literally spell Knock Out ?
Wake up is one of the catchphrases from Ryback.
Be disappointed... 🤣
Ryback would be pissed!!
When he said "You're facing off against Kevin Owens", Roman Reigns became Tribal Chief Lol
I love how Jimmy Fallon is always so excited when he talk to other celebrities, like another huge fan
The one thing I love most here is how this interview could totally be in character if you wanna take it that way. Like the Head of The Table, reserving himself and trying to do a polite interview. He doesn't expose kayfabe at all. I love how after addressing the Rock the first name he brings up and puts over is Sami Zayn. That's says alot. Then he goes deep on detail on why people really latched onto Cody Rhodes. Then jokes "I'd smack all of them" but you know the Tribal Chief would. Then all the talk about catchphrases leads perfectly into Roman being confident about being Kevin and mouthing along to "Wake up, Kevin"
💯
This dude's charisma is on point. He has this quiet confidence that I love
Roman acknowledging Cody Rhodes was all I needed 😂
And At Mania, The Opposite will happen 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@AcknowledgeMeKid Cody's gonna smash that jobber Roman and then kick him out of the company 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@yashsoni7614 chill bro its scripted not a real thing don't fight for it
@@yashsoni7614 tell me one thing if you hate roman than why are you doing here 🤔
Roman became so good as a heel that people love and cheer him now lol
I really like getting to see a different side to these WWE superstars. Roman seems like a cool guy to be around
Roman Reigns is one of the only people that can make the Universal Championship belt look amazing around his waist
He is the only guy.....
Brock llllllllleeeeessssssssssnnnnnnnnnaaaarrrrrrrrrr
@@NightamareReality lol
@@NightamareReality he made that title a joke man
Cap Universal Title looks trash on everyone its just horrible
There is Roman and then there is Joe, one is the Tribal Chief, the other is a chill family man.
Loved listening to him talk as himself love listening to the respect he has
I wonder what Kevin Owens was thinking ,his reaction seeing the interview lmao
Shout out the guy who said "WOOO" when SAMI got mentioned
i respect this man so much cause he respect everyone and make path for everyone
How many times is this guy gonna be on Jimmy Fallon , what an absolute goat
The mentioning of Cody Rhodes here makes me alot more sure that they're considering him to dethrone Roman.
Roman Reings acknowledging Cody Rhodes was all we needed!
Facts
Cody is a goat
Roman Reigns acknowledging The Rock is all we need!
Even Cody acknowledge Roman as the current best wrestler in the world.
@@aashishkashyap2487 yes this was i am saying Cody and roman respect each other roman knew that his has star power now if he puts over Cody Cody become star but his fans things roman should only one win
Jimmy been watching school days with the roots I love how they are all like brothers like family
Was waiting for Roman to say......"Jimmy Fallon........ ACKNOWLEDGE MEEEEEEEEEE" 😂😂😂
When you throw Kurt Angle into the mix then you have a 33 and 3rd percents chance of winning 😂
Best promo ever lol.
Steiner math
@mrb7123 they say all men are created equal but I'm a genetic freak 😂
@eddiegesch6299 it's got a 33 and a 3rds percents chance of being the best promo ever lol
33.3% type it that way. Typing it your way makes ya look like a redneck.
You see him during this interview and you know why he is champion.
Somewhere Ryback is just pissed beyond belief lmao 🤣
Him talking about Kevin Owens got me cracking up 😂😂😂
This guy came sooooooo far, and he's cool AF now 😎
He's cool now ????????? HE was the main reason, there was a Shield.
@@cobrakainevereverdies6940 actually Rollins was the main guy in the Shield, everyone knows this. Roman couldn’t talk for shit and was heavily pushed by Vince when he wasn’t ready. He turned heel, and all that changed. So YES, he’s cool NOW..
@@EL_Chapo187 - You weren't looking for SEFFFFFFFF or Dean. You were looking for the Antoine Clone from Deuce Bigalow. But you didn't see that movie, now did ya ?
@@cobrakainevereverdies6940 every real wrestling fan looked for seth or dean. Ypu probably havent watched wwe at this time but Roman got booed out of every Single building, not because he was a heel but because he was overrated and overbooked. His wrestling skills are mid nowadays too but at least he improved his mic skills and his acting skills
@@djchillout91 = Listen I don't give 2 flyin'' F's what PC WRESSLIN' VIRGINS HAVE TO SAY = Where are the Shield Members vs Roman ?? He was the muscle then, with the battle cry and still is now. Dean and SEFFFFFFFFF have to kill themselves to get ratings. Yay NOW leave me alone already, shytttttt
Many of the people not know him as Joe. We loved him because of his ringname Roman Reigns ❤️
corny as fuck lmao how old are you? 12?
I definitely feel like this is what WWE wants us to think, that Rock won't be there. They wanna surprise us, and we've all been expecting to see The Rock at the Rumble. Nowadays, it's extremely hard to genuinely surprise the WWE audience, due to reports and reporters on social media, but if they can get everyone to believe he won't show up, and get us all to lose hope, when he shows up it'll genuinely surprise everyone
@Halli Rose Already have, I'm a Christian
He won't show up Cody won the rumble
@@awesome1ru I made that comment before the Rumble happened
He might still show up post their match after Roman loses the match to Cody and then also loses the entire family especially after what happened at the rumble. Rock comes in to teach Roman how family should be treated!!(a story line post WM)
No matter how this man is in the WWE he is always a class A+ person in life..Roman is a role model for everyone..
Just imagine if Roman says - *Jimmy Fallon Acknowledge me* 💀
I don't like him as a heel in wwe but this showed me his acting skills are on point.he plays the heel so well.he such a nice guy
His heel work is his best work lol he was getting booed as a face lol do you watch?
ACKNOWLEDGE HIM
He is a natural heel tho which is why he has been so much better than
Dude is putting on the best entertainment for the last few years. Nothing compares to this.
Him as heel literally saved WWE
"Wake up!" Somewhere Ryback is seething saying "that's my line" lol
5:54 jimmy laughing in his face HAHAHAHAHHAHA
Man, his mic skills improved a lot!
Facts
He doesn't sound like this on wwe. All he says is 'acknowledge me' lmao
@@EuroNation no
Why tf would He care about Mic Skills, when He already is The Greatest Performer in Human History 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's why he still needs Paul Heyman with him everytime lol jobber🤣🤣🤣
This guy has the stuff to be a super star in movies. Hope he gets the chance.
I could see him playing conan
He already had a small role in the Hobbs & Shaw spin-off. I think, like Cena, he caught that acting bug, but isn't done with the ring just yet.
As Joe Anoa’i, the man has appeared with his real-life cousin in a small role in “Hobbs & Shaw” - really hoping that Joe gets more movie roles, now that he’s working a more flexible and part-time schedule!
yeah i agree wirh you
I foresee the next Rock in the making. He definitely has movie star potential.
funny how when Jimmy said his left side was bruised, he pointed to his right side lol
Love that he's putting over talent here it's awesome to see
Been suashing guys for 3 years but ok
@@DannyCosmos he's put over alot of wrestlers in his matches compared to his other gimmick
@@DannyCosmos u can't have a head of the E table character then make them lose
I dont know he buried Kevin Owens pretty hard but it was hilarious
Roman Reigns ain’t put nobody over in years 😂😂😂
Who would have thought even 5 years ago that Roman Reigns would have as much charisma and personality away from Wrestling like the Rock has. He's elite now.
Roman has greatly improved on the mic but to say he is on same level of charisma as The Rock is absolutely ridiculous😂😂😂
He has everything in ring and out except the mic skills. He has added dimension to his character and gotten better at talking/cutting promos but the best on the mic never needed to be taught it came naturally. I'm not saying wrestlers can't be taught and improve but saying he's on the Rock's level is crazy. He's improved but will never reach Rock, Austin, Flair, or Dusty levels and TBH he doesn't have to I wish people would accept that. He's improved but will never be great (on the mic).
@@soxxel12 he is great on the mic wdym lol , his mic work isnt like the rock because his character is completely different
@@soxxel12 His acting has been 1000 times better than Rocks. Look at the Hell in Cell I quit match against Jey Uso. The emotion. He even made himself cry.
All Elite!?
Roman looks like if you crossed the Rock with John Cena lol
He should of said, “acknowledge me” 🤣🤣
Its nice to see Roman Reigns not in character, he's very humble. I kinda like him now 😉
Should of been liked him🥱☝️
Great Athlete , Entertainer and a Human being ,
Totally agree. Even when people hating on him he never changed he's so down to earth n cool. He doesn't let it get to him so professional and not forgetting he's the sexiest man in the world! He just oozes charm and sex appeal. Not hard at all to be a fan of Romans were blessed to still have him!
Yep, Only To His Fans and Friends He's A Lovely Human Being. When it comes for Him to face Haters, then how's He lovely there ???????
Good interview
Really look at this guy. He looks like John Cena and The rock had a baby😂😂
We all acknowledge you Tribal Chief
I hope Roman actually says 'Wake up!' in the match 2mrw haha
Roman has no business being this hot.
4:35 Roman’s new default fire up line “ITS SMASHIN TIME!”
I'm so proud of him! He come so far. He was Leakee,hounds of justice (the shield),he was the big dog (people used to boo him for 0 reason), he beat the shit out his Leukemia. now he's THE ROMAN REIGNS. YOU BETTER ACKNOWLEDGE HIM & You know who he is just by the name. I will Always and forever be Joe anoa'i stan and of course with (JON MOXLEY AND SETH FREAKIN ROLLINS TOO!)
0 reason? He was a stale baby face, other characters were sacrificed to attempt to get him over. The big dog was foolish to even attempt especially after years of Cena being dominant
☝🏾
@@frankcastle5285 and yet again fickle fans are proven wrong by Vince that, Roman Reigns was right person, guy has good looks, is better athlete, all around total package for any sports entertainment industry, Abusulte Untouchable, indeed the G.O.A.T.
@@vinkalpatel1863 if anything it proves anyone can be "the guy" if u give them like 5 different second chances, and book them to never lose for 3 straight years AND before that beat every top guy
@@vinkalpatel1863 Lmaooo you must be slow, sure the right guy but terrible character. The heel turn saved him, before that he was just terrible. Couldn’t cut promos, character was super one dimensional, booked to be dominant against people he didn’t need to beat. Just an all around failure
Never thought I’d hear Sami Zayn being mentioned on the Jimmy Fallon show, what a year it’s been already.
Roman Reigns vs. The Rock would be an incredible match to watch.
LET'S ALL ACKNOWLEDGE OUR TRIBAL CHIEF, THE HEAD OF THE TABLE, ROMAN REIGNS.
It couldn’t be more perfect for The Rock to Vs Roman Reigns at this Wrestlemania!
Going by the live audience nobody popped big for that match people don't want to see it as much as people think
5:11 my alarm clock everytime I hit snooze
Absolutely love Roman , I feel like he is the most relatable WWE super star . " Dont change a thing" LOL Poor KO !
I can you not love Roman This guy is a class act Outside of the ring.
My Hero ROMAN REIGNS ❤️
@Roman Reigns get a life
@Roman Reigns no life
So many bandwagon Roman/Bloodline "fans" these days. I've been a fan since day oneish. #NOBANDWAGONREIGNSBLOODLINEFANSALLOWED
I'd love to see roman shout "WAKE UP" in his match against KO lol
I'm glad he mentioned how "let's go!" has become the go-to phrase.
The mentioning of Cody Rhodes here makes me a lot more sure that they’re considering him to dethrone Roman Reigns.
"Wake up" was a Ryback thing. He killed it
I've always enjoyed watching roman even when the crowd booed him he was still the top guy in my eyes and now to see him at this point in time as the top guy and needle mover it's astonishing! 👆🏾💪🏾💯🙏🏾😎 Acknowledge him! 👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾
I'm the same. I was a huge fan of Roman from the 1rst time Roman stepped in the NXT ring against C.J Parker. You just sensed from his 1rst match how special he was and boy did he prove that to the world! Go Roman smash him at the Rumble! 🤣😍💙💥💥
Need The Rock to return at Royal Rumble tonight and win it for the 2nd time in history! That’s the only legend I want to see come back, not these other old wrestlers who can’t even move lol
Hes the only mega legend who hasnt won twice. Hulk and Austin 3 times, shawn, triple shit, cena and edge twice...

Okay now we know The Rock is returning for Mania and possibly the rumble tomorrow night if it’s being talked about on the tonight show!
Lmao you're hilarious
Dwayne probably won't be there he has a project he is working on around then.
He needs them right now because Black Adam was a Flop.
@@ItsJustUsEnt no he's already moved on to his next flop
Already slipped... On the Tonight show he was talking about Dwayne then Cody, but at the end he said, "He'll be returning soon too" 🤫
Roman Reigns 👑
It’s nice to see a talk show host that actually has respect for the business. Unlike Leno and Letterman lol.
This is why I like Jimmy Fallon. He knows that WWE Superstars are celebrities too!
These type of interviews are always kind of weird because they're like a mix between a worked kayfabe interview and a shoot interview all in one.
That's what makes them fun. You have to read between the lines.
Like "yeah we have been doing some amazing TV with Sami Zayn" and some sentence later "yeah my plan for Kevin Owens is beat his ass like always".
“shoot” interview in 2023 is crazy lmfao
Roman Reigns is the only WWE Superstar of this generation who can stand among those legends of old era of WWE, Believe That
Perhaps because he is the only one that receivs an decent booking. I love Roman, but there is other guys in the roster that should have been a lot bigger than they other today
Slow your roll turbo👌, now lets not get crazy.
@@andreluiz4232 Its not just booking, you need the performance to make it believable. Guys like Kofi Kingston and Sami Zayn, no matter how popular they get, can never hold the titles for long. Roman's done it for over 2 years, breaking records because he's one of the few that's got it all to make it work. Hell, even now people are conflicted and you have half the crowd cheering him even when he leaned on Sami so hard for the past few weeks. I don't see anyone else on the roster making it work, the closest ones that could would be McIntyre and Lesnar, and Lesnar was an awful absent champion during his reign and would end up with "Go away" heat like Reigns did at times when he was face.
@@andreluiz4232 to think the whole tribal chief came from anywhere else but reigns himself is insanity
Haters are going to hate. Fans, let's gather here and show some love to this amazing talent.
If Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart had a baby that would be this guy lol
