Steve Austin Praises Current WWE Champion

Steve Austin is without a doubt one of the biggest wrestling stars to ever step foot in the ring, and he still has his eye on the business today.

For years WWE pushed Roman Reigns as a babyface, but Reigns was met with mixed reactions due to his mega push. WWE decided to turn Roman heel in 2020, and since then he’s been receiving almost unanimous praise for his character work. Austin recently spoke to Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter about the evolution of Roman Reigns, and he made it clear that he thinks Reigns is heading in the right direction.

“Hey, I’ll acknowledge it. He’s doing some amazing work. It took a while for him to put all the pieces of the puzzle together, and they didn’t book him in the greatest fashion at certain points of his career.”

“When he walked through the door, he was one of those guys that had that look and had that it factor. Like, ‘If we can do the right thing with this guy, he’s gonna get over.’ They finally started doing the right thing. He got to a mindset of where he’s at right now and he’s just crushing it, and I couldn’t be prouder of the guy.”

Roman Reigns will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Drew McIntyre at WWE Clash at the Castle next month. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
