A lot of people have their own opinions when it comes to the greatest who they consider to be the greatest of all time. At times WWE has promoted Cena with that moniker, but in more recent years John Cena himself has been calling Roman Reigns the greatest of all time.
While speaking to Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay, John Cena recently praised Roman Reigns, and he also shared some more details regarding why he considers Roman to be the GOAT.
“I don’t think there is a better breathing example of the best the business has ever been than Roman Reigns. It’s amazing that I’m saying a still active talent, with years in front of him, is the Greatest of All Time. He’s been in it since 2012. I had to work my way up. I started on the bench and then got on to the Saturday program, lost every match. He came in with The Shield and a really high level spot, and never wavered. Even when fans didn’t like him, he was still in a main event spot. He’s been in a main event lens for over a decade.
In 2012, the stock was trading at $11. WWE/TKO stock is now at $117. That’s on his shoulders. There isn’t a better indication, and I know it’s a team effort, and nobody does it alone, but that, to me, is some serious s***. I have to give respect where it’s due. [Roman] is smart, passionate about the business, multi-generational athlete. Has respect for his family, the locker room, the business. He’s a very smart performer and someone I respect. He’d be my Greatest of All Time.”
When Shannon Sharpe brought up The Rock, John Cena said, “Rock would be second. He did the same thing in the 90s. This is the one time I can say this because Rock’s numbers are always number one, Roman’s numbers have been better than Dwayne’s.”
