Roman Reigns' relationship with Vince McMahon was a unique one. While he was the undisputed top star of the company for years, Reigns noted that he did not have the same amount of personal time with McMahon that other top stars of previous eras did. Despite this, the lessons he did learn were impactful.
He also shared a key business lesson from the former Chairman. "He'd always say, 'You want to be ahead of the curve, but not too far ahead. Slight ahead of the curve.' That saying was one of the biggest business lessons," Reigns stated.
