Roman Reigns Explains How His Grandmother Kept Him In Playing Shape

WWE Superstar Roman Reigns shares playful trash talk he does with his kids.

Speaking on What’s Your Story? with Stephanie McMahon, Reigns recalled drinking prune juice as a seven-year-old to lose weight for the football team. He explained that his grandmother was very strict about figs and prunes, always making sure he stayed regular. He joked that while his grandmother pushed him to drink prunes, it kept his digestion on track.

Reigns reflected on how, even though he wasn’t heavy, he was a big kid and had to manage his weight carefully to make the team. He noted that his grandmother always made sure he stayed regular and healthy.

He compared his childhood to his kids, recalling that when he was seven, he already weighed 75 pounds, while his children are much smaller at the same age.

“And I always look at my kids now. I’m like, hold on. When I was seven, I was 75 pounds, and my kids are way smaller than that. So I told them all the time I could beat y’all up so easily me and the twins would wreck you all.”

“It wouldn’t even be a problem. And they’re like, ‘Yeah, right, Dad?’ But in order to make the football team, to make weight, I had to watch my weight. If I needed to be extra light, they would give me prune juice to go to the restroom.”
