John Cena has named a current WWE star that he considers to be the “greatest of all time” and his “personal number one”.
Cena appeared on Busted Open Radio to discuss a multitude of subjects, including his future in the WWE and his reputation for burying talent.
He also discussed the subject of the greatest wrestler of all time, revealing:
“My personal number one, I think Roman Reigns has to be considered strongly [as the greatest of all time.]
“What he’s done with the championship, what he’s done as essentially a selective performer, he’s redefined how you do it.
“Not only that, the reason I really rest a lot of accolades on Roman’s shoulders, and I’ve told this to him personally, [is] his ability to pass energy to more than himself.”
Cena would also compare Reigns to Ric Flair when it comes to the GOAT label, adding:
“The difference between him and Ric is that Ric was always there and that’s brilliant.
“I love that Roman did it his own way by crafting his own personality, he did it his own way by redefining what it means to be at the tip of the sphere.
“He is there selectively, he has made himself exclusive and in doing so, he’s brought like eight people with them. He’s allowed the whole Bloodline to get over.”
Roman Reigns is set to team up with Solo Sikoa to face Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens for their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships at WWE Night of Champions on May 27 2023.
