Roman Reigns responds to John Cena calling him "the greatest of all time"
Roman Reigns recently reacted to being called "the greatest of all time" by WWE legend John Cena. Many people, including the Stamford-based company, associate that nickname with the 16-time World Champion.
The Original Tribal Chief is one of the biggest stars in the entire industry right now. He has headlined numerous premium live events and was the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion for 1,316 days, which is an incredible feat. Roman was a heel for the past four years but he turned babyface at SummerSlam last month when he attacked The Bloodline.
John Cena has called Roman Reigns the greatest of all time on multiple occasions. During a recent appearance on Bloomberg Live, The Head of the Table responded to the compliment by stating:
"This is probably normally where I'd be like Paul, brag about me. But at the end of the day, it's subjective... As far as what John said, I kind of witnessed and observed his early reign, if you will, as being WWE's top guy, the face of the company. So, nobody knows better than everything that it takes to get to that point and to even be in the conversation. So, I guess I'm just going to agree with him." [17:20 - 18:40]
Paul Heyman says he never thought WWE would let him work with Roman Reigns
Paul Heyman joined forces with Roman Reigns in late 2020 during the Pandemic Era. The duo formed The Bloodline which became one of the biggest factions of all time in WWE.
However, The Wiseman stated that he never thought he would be allowed to work with Roman Reigns after managing Brock Lesnar for many years:
"When Brock's run was done, there was only one person I was ever willing to work with. I never thought they'd let us work together. It was Roman Reigns because I believe in him. I believe he's the best athlete in WWE." [21:29 - 22:00]
Heyman has been off WWE TV for numerous months after being attacked by The Bloodline. Now that Roman is back, Paul could return very soon.
