Roman Reigns is prepared for his rivalry with The Big Show to get extreme.

Reigns sat down with Michael Cole and said he's still feeling the effects from his match with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 31, but he's ready for a fight with Big Show at Extreme Rules on April 26 in Illinois.
Reigns was attacked by Big Show on RAW this week in London and chokeslammed through a car, setting up a Last Man Standing bout for Extreme Rules.

"I'm still hurtin' from WrestleMania, you know its weeks now and I still feel the effects from that," Reigns said. "So anything that happens hurts even more now. To be thrown into a steel car, to be thrown into objects and then chokeslammed through the roof of a car. It's exactly like it sounds. It was ridiculous. But I got up, I woke up this morning. I don't feel great, but I'm still in the fight. I'm still here."
The leader of the Roman Empire said that The Big Show's anger toward him has manifested out of jealousy.
"I have to assume jealousy," Reigns said. "But we're dealing with a giant who has to remind everyone that he's a giant...It has to be jealousy. He has to be pissed off at my climb. He can't like the fact that a new dog is coming into the yard. He can't like the fact that I was in the main event of WrestleMania and that I did it in two years. But he's gonna have to deal with it. That's the thing. I'm here to stay. I'm here to fight every single week."
The 2015 Royal Rumble Match winner also said that his match with Lesnar altered him.
"I'm a different person now," Reigns said. "It was a big fight, the biggest fight of my life. It was the main event of WrestleMania and it was against Brock Lesnar. He took me to Suplex City. I've been there before, you know what I mean, there's not too many people who could say they walked out of there. So it's a good feeling to be able to wake up after a day like that. But it hurts, it don't feel good. That's the way it goes. That's the type of fights I get into around here. It's painful. You know anytime a man picks you up and puts you on the back of your head, it's not good. But it goes with the territory and that's the thing. I think I showed the whole world that I can take a beat down."
Reigns added that the WWE isn't just his job, but it's his livelihood.
"This is my life," he said. "I've been on the WWE team my whole life. I was fed by the WWE. I sat at the table. I sit at the head of the table now. I take [my fist] and I lay out WWE Superstars on a weekly basis to feed people. To provide. To make a future and I don't care if you're a giant, you're not gonna get in the way of that."
Lastly, Reigns said he plans to take a fight to The Big Show at Extreme Rules.
"He better not get tired," he said. "He better have his cardio all right because I'm gonna keep getting up. He's gonna have to continue to knock me down. Pick me up. Slam me. Punch me in my mouth. Drop me on my head. I'm gonna get up and when I do I'm gonna bring a big fight to The Big Show. And you can believe that."
