Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will be appearing on this evening's edition of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on NBC, obviously to promote tomorrow's Royal Rumble event.
Paul Levesque was interviewed by Variety for a piece that was published today to time with the Royal Rumble. It actually took place on 1/4, one day before Vince McMahon made his intentions to return to WWE clear. When asked at the time what McMahon was doing, Levesque commented, "F–k if I know. I didn’t know what he was up to every day when he was here! I’ll be honest, I don’t know what he’s doing. I think he’s keeping himself busy.”
When asked about the positive responses to creative under his control, Levesque stated:
“[Vince was] always thinking long term. Whether it gets executed that way or whether it wasn’t, I don’t know. But for me, it’s how I think because it’s how I was taught by him. I’m always trying to think about the long-term storyline. I was at SummerSlam and one of the first things I talked to the team about is ‘Okay, where do we want to go for Wrestlemania? What’s that goal?’ Obviously it’s going to change, but what’s the target goal?
“It’s like a GPS. As long as you put in the destination, the GPS will keep rerouting you if it needs to. If there’s an accident, it’s going to move you this way. If you miss a turn, it’s going to take you another way, but you’re gonna get to your destination. And as long as we are aware of where we want to get to, then we can get there. We’ll adjust along the way. And the destination might change we might decide halfway that we want to go in a different direction. But at least you constantly are aware of your of your target. And I think without that, you’re just floating around in the ocean.”
