Roman Reigns Has a Reason for His “little bit of OCD”

ByM WatsonProfessional Wrestling Journalist

Roman Reigns said he has some OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), but he had a good reason for it.

In an interview with Complex, The Tribal Chief revealed that it was only when it came to storytelling in WWE. Reigns said that he liked symmetrical situations, i.e when a story comes to poetic justice and continuity of storylines, possibly to keep them relevant and create iconic moments.

I got like a little bit of OCD when it comes to storytelling and stuff. I like symmetrical situations, continuity and stuff.

The most recent example was his feud with Seth Rollins heading into SummerSlam 2026. It involved continuing a long-term rivalry, recreating major moments from their past, and ending with Reigns getting poetic justice by finally defeating Rollins in a major match.

Roman Reigns is set to defend his World title at WWE’s next Premium Live Event

Roman Reigns has been dominant as the World Heavyweight Champion since winning the title at WrestleMania 42. On the September 14 episode of RAW, he defended his title against Penta in Mexico City.

Both men delivered one of the most enthralling bouts in WWE history, and Reigns retained his title. However, after the match, LA Knight came out and took him down with the BFT. This led Reigns to give him a title shot at WWE’s upcoming Premium Live Event, Money in the Bank 2026.

This will mark the second time LA Knight and Roman Reigns will square off in a singles World title match. Their last encounter took place at WWE Crown Jewel 2023, where Reigns won.

However, with LA Knight’s rising momentum and seemingly having the upper hand on The OTC, it will be interesting to see if he can defeat Reigns this time.
