Having now made his in-ring pro wrestling debut for All Elite Wrestling, former UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior Dos Santos has taken to Twitter to call out Roman Reigns.

A recent interview with Complex saw the Tribal Chief shoot down AEW as being competition to WWE, with Roman stating how:

"I don't think anybody really believes someone 200 lbs soaking wet with no explosive bone in their body could every really do anything. I'm 6'3", 265 lbs, a legitimate athlete who can throw some weight around and has been on the gridiron at the highest level."

Those comments were just the tip of the iceberg, as the current WWE Universal Champion talked about how CM Punk's in-ring return hasn't impressed him, and that Punk looks like he's lost a step during his time away from the squared circle.

After making his official AEW in-ring bow on Friday's Rampage, Dos Santos seemingly didn't take too kindly to Reigns' chatter - making particular reference to Roman describing the AEW roster as like "little brothers".

For those who missed it, Junior Dos Santos, Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky defeated the Inner Circle's Chris Jericho, Jake Hager and Sammy Guevara on Friday night.
