John Cena Says THIS WWE Star Is "Greatest Of All Time" (Not Him!)
WWE legend John Cena says someone else deserves the GOAT tag instead of him.
John Cena has told WWE's 'After The Bell' podcast that Roman Reigns deserves to be called "the Greatest Of All Time" instead.
The legend said he was left impressed by how Roman developed a brand new character without any fan interaction in 2020. Then, by the time people were allowed to flock back to WWE shows, everyone was desperate to see his new 'Tribal Chief' guise up close.
Reigns had to bounce back from similar backlash to Cena as a babyface before that. Fans loudly booed Roman for a spell, especially when he was cast in a superhero-like role as the top good guy. A complete reinvention to his current persona turned everything around, and it's why JC reckons Reigns deserves every bit of praise coming his way.
Cena pointed out that Roman "got the viewer to [pay attention] without the energy of the audience" there live to add to his presentation. Deep-diving on why he was impressed, Cena added: "[Roman] leaned into everything they gave him and really made it cinematic and so nuanced and so incredible".
That's why John thinks Reigns should be called the GOAT.
