Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns have immense respect for each other
The rivalry between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns will go down as one of the greatest of all time. The two behemoths have been at each other's throats for a long time now. Lesnar and Reigns' first WrestleMania bout in 2015 ended with Seth Rollins' unexpected MITB cash-in.
Lesnar retained the Universal title in their second WrestleMania match in 2018. It remains to be seen if Reigns will finally manage to put Lesnar down at WrestleMania.
In real life, the two men have nothing but respect for each other. In 2020, WWE legend John Cena heaped praise on Lesnar, calling him the best in-ring performer of all time.
"And I can say with the utmost sincerity that I believe Brock Lesnar is best in-ring performer that I've seen and I know it's an opinion, and if you want a cool quote, here it is: I think he's the best in-ring performer of all time," said Cena. [H/T Sports Illustrated]
Soon after, Reigns reacted to Cena's statement and was in complete agreement with the veteran.
