Roman Reigns Says He'd "Whip Steve Austin's A- And Drink His Beer" If They Wrestled, Dean Ambrose

WrestlingINC.com reader Jacob Anderson sent in this report for Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose's appearance at Comic Con in Las Vegas yesterday:

I was given the opportunity by Wizard World to sit front row center for the WWE Superstar panel on Saturday. I was told that it would originally be Roman Reigns and Paige, but the former WWE Diva's champion had to cancel due to filming.

Reigns and Dean Ambrose entered the room (that, by this point, was already completely packed) to loud applause, cheers and chants of "ROMAN REIGNS!", making you feel like you truly were at a live event in a stadium. The majority of the 45-minute panel consisted of a fan Q&A, for which I was also a participant.

I asked Roman "You versus 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin Who would win?"

The room got really quiet. Some people chuckled, others gaped that I had the audacity to ask it. Roman took a few seconds, then looked me dead in the face and replied, "Imma whup his ass and drink his beer, man!" The whole place exploded.

The rest of the panel was mainly slow questions that focused on ideas like favorite matches of all time, favorite PPVs to perform for and thoughts on who they'd like to wrestle in the future. Both of them gave amazing credit to their opponents at Extreme Rules, and Reigns spoke eloquently about the Big Show and the shoes he filled as the WWE's resident giant. Ambrose mentioned that he really enjoys the energy in the stadium when he competes with other bigger-name stars, and facing Luke Harper [tonight] is sure to bring that energy out.

All in all, it was a fun joke-fulled panel to attend, and I was happy to get the chance to be there. The world is looking forward to seeing the two of them succeed at Extreme Rules!
