Roman Reigns Gets Honest About Body Image, Staying WWE Shredded, and His Street Fighter Training
A usual day on Men's Health brings in something like a quarter of a million views. Lately the channel has been running well above that, at closer to 400,000 a day, and one guest accounts for most of the new material.
Roman Reigns joined Strong Talk, the magazine's interview series, and the full conversation went up on September 30. It passed 50,000 views in its first sixteen hours. The chapters cover a lot of ground: how his training has changed since his football days, why strength in the ring is its own thing, what he pays attention to in recovery, and his preparation to play Akuma, the Street Fighter demon fighter. He also speaks openly about living with CML and about his struggles with body dysmorphia, and the episode closes with his advice for anyone dealing with body image.
The channel cut the interview into shorter clips over several days. The first, on handling stress through a 30-to-40-minute match, appeared before the full episode. Others followed on training in his 40s, on whether WWE is harder than football, and on his warm words for John Cena and the Rock. In between, a short pulled from Andrew Huberman's Gym & Fridge visit offered the neuroscientist's view on processed foods.
Among nearby fitness channels, Linda Sun and Nick Bare are both drawing well above their usual daily views. For Men's Health, the lift came from a wrestler talking honestly about his body.
