Roman Reigns Does Not Hang Out With This Former WWE Champion Anymore

Roman Reigns has opened up on his relationship with his former stablemate Jon Moxley, saying he does not hang out with him anymore.

Reigns and Moxley, along with Seth Rollins, debuted and gained fame as The Shield in WWE. While Reigns is one of the most loathed members of the WWE Company, Moxley is a top babyface in All Elite Wrestling.

In a recent interview, the Universal Champion recalled the days when he and Moxley were “super tight” before revealing that the two do not hang out for a beer anymore.

“Mox was actually, I mean, he’ll probably actually tell you too, me and him were like, super tight. Within the Shield and maybe even a little bit closer. They may have been like, super bonded through wrestling and what they have done in FCW, and prior to WWE. But when it comes to just like, whether we were wrestlers or not, me and Mox, we’re friends you know what I mean? Like we’re the kind that can just hang out and have a beer. Well, I guess not anymore,” Reigns said on SI Media podcast.

While Reigns and Moxley have always said good things about each other, there was one time when the Tribal Chief took a dig at the latter for leaving WWE and joining All Elite Wrestling.

"Well I guess Ambrose or Moxley really sc**ewed that up, didn't he? He messed around and just left us. I don't think The Shield will ever be recreated or brought back. That's not just a situation because Mox went to AEW. It's just, we were so good. Honestly, I think we did the reunion thing a little too much the last... three years ago or whatever it was," Reigns said, according to Wrestling World.

Meanwhile, all the focus right now in the WWE is on the upcoming Royal Rumble event, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday (Jan. 30) at Missouri’s The Dome at America's Center.

There have been rumors about Reigns taking on the current WWE Champion Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 later this year. However, it was then reported that a clearer picture regarding the 'Champion vs Champion' fight would be obtained after Royal Rumble, depending on whether Lesnar and Reigns can retain their respective titles.
