Roman Reigns says heyheyitsconradthompson is using his name to draw views to his own shows.

The World Heavyweight Champion addressed Thompson’s criticism on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay, released Wednesday.

“I mean, the truth is, are there a lot of people watching that guy’s show? So you’re gonna say stuff. You already know I’m a metric mover, that type of stuff. They know I get views and all that stuff. So it’s fine. I mean, it is what it is,” Reigns said.

Reigns also pointed to the people around Thompson, without naming anyone.

“Just I got to do a scroll a little bit, and you see who he’s a fan of and stuff like that, and who he’s connected to. But no, if they want to use my name to give views, that’s the industry right now,” he said.

Thompson first called Reigns “the most overrated main eventer in WWE history” in early August on 83 Weeks, which he co-hosts with Eric Bischoff. He has since called Reigns the “Triple H of 2026” and an “industry plant.”

On The Ariel Helwani Show on October 7, Thompson said WWE made Reigns its top star before fans accepted him.

“They forced him to be on top and to always win over and over and over,” Thompson said.

He also said Reigns “wrestled seven matches last year” and that fans don’t buy tickets to see him. “They bought their SummerSlam tickets before the match was announced.”

Reigns retained the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight at Money in the Bank on Saturday in New Orleans. Street Fighter, in which he plays Akuma, opens in theaters on Friday.

Reigns’ full interview is on clubshayshay. Thompson co-hosts 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff and Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard.
