Roman subtly put Cesaro over by calling him one of the best wrestlers in the world. That high praise, which Paul Heyman echoed, was followed up by a distinctly Vince McMahon-ish phrase. Reigns went on to say, "I'm so much more than just a wrestler".

He's a "sports entertainer", damn it.

This was as WWE as it comes. The writers happily put over someone's in-ring abilities, then pulled back to suggest that there's so much more to company life than simply being a great pro wrestler. This could've been Vince talking.
