The 16-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena has recently made significant remarks about WWE’s current top star, Roman Reigns. Before the latter became the face of the promotion, Cena carried WWE on his shoulders for over a decade.
From 2005 to 2015, Cena was a top figure in the promotion, carrying the promotion on his shoulders. He established himself as one of the most famous WWE stars in its history. Cena’s contributions helped shape the modern era of WWE and cemented his legacy as one of the all-time greats. Since 2016, he transitioned to a part-time schedule, leading to Roman Reigns stepping into the spotlight.
In a recent interview on Club Shay Shay, John Cena highlighted former WWE Undisputed Champion Roman Reigns’ achievements and endorsed him as the greatest of all time (GOAT). He provided a compelling reason for his endorsement, noting that WWE’s stock value has significantly increased since Reigns became the face of the promotion. Following this high praise from Cena, Reigns has finally responded to the statement.
Roman Reigns on John Cena’s remark: “The numbers don’t lie”
Roman Reigns recently reunited with his ally, Paul Heyman, for an interview at Bloomberg’s Power Players event in New York. During the conversation, Reigns addressed John Cena’s recent praise for him. Reigns acknowledged that while there are objective metrics to measure success.
He stated, “The numbers don’t lie. I wish I could say, ‘I’m Taylor Swift out there,’ but we have a great team. I have a Wiseman. Business has been really good. It’s one of those weird situations. This is where I would normally be like, ‘Paul, brag about me.’ At the end of the day, it’s subjective. There are some objective metrics involved that we can measure. If there’s 60 people over here that are like, ‘No, Roman Reigns is the GOAT.’ Then there’s two people who go, ‘No way. The Undertaker is the Greatest of All Time.’ How do you argue with those two people that believe in their soul that the Undertaker is?”
He continued, “That’s the weird part of our job, and that’s the beauty of it. It’s where objective and subjective meet. It can really be whatever you feel it is. As long as you are connected to whose ever product in WWE you are connected to, I think you have the right to claim that superstar being the greatest of all time, to you. As far as what John said, I kind of witnessed and observed his early reign as WWE’s top guy and face of the company. Nobody knows better about everything that it takes to get to that point and be in that conversation. I guess I’m just going to agree with him.”
Roman Reigns’ rise has been impressive, and WWE has experienced a significant shift with him becoming the face of the promotion. Having held this position for almost a decade with more years ahead in his career, it will be interesting to see who will be next to step in and fill his shoes.
