Roman Reigns felt much smaller than The Rock during their segment, according to WWE Hall of Famer
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Roman Reigns were the center of attention during last week’s WrestleMania XL Kickoff event in Las Vegas. A WWE Hall of Famer has talked about how The Great One’s presence overshadowed The Tribal Chief to a great extent.
Fans expected The Rock and Roman Reigns to confirm their Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match for WrestleMania XL last Thursday. Instead, Cody Rhodes interrupted to take his rightful spot at The Show of Shows.
Speaking on the Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray stated that The Rock’s presence overshadowed Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes.
"Have you ever seen Roman Reigns look like a co-star in the last three years? Did you see him look like a co-star at that press conference?" Bully Ray asked.
He noted that Reigns has never looked so secondary in his recent run.
"Rock knows how to command the spotlight," Bully explained. "He made every other man on stage look like boys because of his stature and because he knows how to stand and command a spotlight. I've never seen Roman look so secondary in my life." [H/T Wrestling Inc]
The Kickoff event ended up being a hit among fans as they saw The American Nightmare confirm his spot against Reigns for WrestleMania XL. Seth Rollins’s presence fueled the fire as the two sides got into a war of words.
