Roman Reigns Hits Back At WWE Critics - "I'm Not John Cena"

The Big Dog claims he is not a Cena mark II...

Roman Reigns has hit back at critics who have suggested he€™s a John Cena clone.

Certain sections of the WWE Universe see The Big Dog as the successor to Cena as the face of the company, but during an interview with CraveOnline, Reigns claimed that isn't going to be the case.

€œI€™m not John Cena. I want to be Roman Reigns," he said. "I want to do things my way.€ "I€™m not John Cena. In my 30 years, I€™ve never been John Cena. I don€™t even think about becoming him. I just want to be. I want to be Roman Reigns. I want to do things my way. I think that€™s why I€™m in the deep water with Vince McMahon and The Authority." There's little doubting that Reigns is 'the chosen one' in the eyes of Vince McMahon, who has reportedly made the former Shield member his special project after failing to get the likes of Lex Luger and other creations of his own doing, over in the past. This extra attention hasn't added any extra pressure onto the shoulders of Reigns though, who feels he's nothing more than a member of a team. "I think there is pressure in anything we do in life. As a man, I feel pressure to provide and create a lifestyle and a future for my family. When it comes to representing the WWE, I don€™t like calling myself the €œface of WWE€ because we have so many faces and so many superstars. We are a team, we€™re a roster and we€™re a locker room." "It absolutely takes every man to make this ship sail. At the end of the day, all I can be is me."
