Roman Reigns is known for the military style vest he wears during his matches, but that is changing beginning this Sunday at WWE Clash Of Champions.
During a Zoom call with Mania Club, raising money for Connors Cure, Reigns spoke with fans on a number of topics, including his change in character.

Reigns confirmed he will wrestle shirtless at this weekend’s Clash Of Champions pay-per-view against his cousin Jey Uso.
“To fans that want me to change my gear, get over it. I’m not going to go out there in trunks. However, if you watch me this Sunday, you’ll probably see me with my shirt off. That’s the only change I’m making,” Reigns stated when speaking on his ring attire.
During his hiatus from WWE, Reigns spoke on being working on his physique, admitting he’s not a bodybuilder.
“I’m not perfect or a bodybuilder. But I feel confident to go out there and be a scary-looking athlete. Ever since I entered the wrestling business, I did not want my outfit to become a talking point. I’ve always felt like the superstar and not just ‘a costume guy,'”
Reigns isn’t quite ready to debut new theme music, urging fans to be patient with the progression of his character.
“There’s a lot more to it than just me creating my own music. It requires me to go through a lot of channels. You have to understand I’m not automatically a bad guy now. You’ve seen it [the change in my character] in gradual steps. You’ve seen layers of that so far,”
He noted that once the story unfolds, new theme music will eventually be released.
“I want all the nuances to add up. As a full time performer, I have to keep things fresh, and do something new every week.” Reigns stated. “That’s why we have decided to save the new music. And hopefully down the line, once more drastic things happen, and the story unfolds, you’ll hear the new music,”
Roman Reigns virtual meet and greet with Mania Club raised over $1,800 for Connors Cure.
