Kurt Angle Believes Roman Reigns Didn’t Deserve Initial WWE Push

WWE

Roman Reigns is finally at the top of the WWE mountain as the Universal Champion, a position that WWE had been grooming him for ever since Seth Rollins destroyed the Shield back in 2014.

Reigns received a lot of fan backlash back when his initial rise began, mainly due to the fans believing that WWE was pushing him too hard too soon. One person who also believes this is WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle.

Angle spoke about Reigns on the Player’s Experience, looking back at how far he has come from his initial push, that Angle believes he got before he deserved it.

He said:

”I think what Roman did is he went through his lumps. In other words, the company was pushing him when he probably did not deserve it, but he stepped up to the challenge and he overcame it and he actually did better than everybody expected him to. Credit where it is due, Roman Reigns became the best athlete in the business, the best wrestler in the business.”

Reigns is set to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38, in a match being dubbed the ‘biggest WrestleMania match of all time’.
