Roman Reigns has shared his true feelings about whether WWE should use a move to Netflix as an opportunity to make ‘edgier’ content.
Making an appearance on-stage with Paul Heyman, Roman Reigns shared with Bloomberg Power Players New York the challenge of being PG and what he hopes stays the same after WWE Raw moves to Netflix.
With a landmark move about to occur with WWE Raw beginning to air on Netflix instead of traditional cable in January, fans have wondered if it will lead to the return of more racy content.
However, according to Roman Reigns – hopefully not.
Roman Reigns said:
“If we allow Paul to do Hall of Fame speeches non-stop, we’ll definitely push that envelope but for me, I don’t know. I’ve always enjoyed the challenges of being P.G., and no offense to our predecessors and the people who came before us and the ratings that they revolved around.
“But to me, it’s more challenging to be able to tell these stories and then it also allows you a broader audience to connect to, which I just really feel like is always the goal.
“We wanna reach as many people as possible and I think there’s a fine limit to when you can kind of cross that threshold to where you push people off from the product.
“So, I think there’s gonna be a nice little range there that we can play with and push the envelope in certain senses but I think we need to stick to our values and kind of the morals we’ve set in place and the culture that we have now.”
Paul Heyman, who was also on hand for the appearance, noted that the decision regarding using more edgy content is ‘storyline dependent’.
