Roman Reigns FINALLY Comments On Jon Moxley Leaving WWE

At least 'The Big Dog' didn't Seth Rollins himself...

Former Shield brothers Roman Reigns and Jon Moxley have been split for over two months now, with the former Dean Ambrose making one hell of an impact since letting his WWE contract run out after the Shield's Final Chapter Network special.

'The Big Dog' had remained silent on the matter until conducting an interview with Sports Illustrated's Justin Barrasso yesterday (1 July).

Reigns stayed classy throughout, saying that while "I don't think our working relationship is going to be what it used to be," he will "always have love for that guy, he'll always be my close friend, and I wish the best for him."

Roman continued: "We have a brotherhood, so I’m always cheering for him. I’ve shared so many great moments with Ambrose, or Mox. We have love for each other well beyond the wrestling, and it will always be that way.”

Last week saw Seth Rollins deepen the hole he'd dug himself into during his social media collapse by chastising Moxley for "taking his ball and going home." It's good to see Reigns, as a locker-room leader, taking a more level-headed approach. Let that be an example to anybody else.
