The Undertaker Praises Roman Reigns’ Run As Undisputed WWE Universal Champion

In the latest episode of his podcast Six Feet Under (via Fightful), The Undertaker praised the storytelling of Roman Reigns as the Undisputed WWE Universal champion said Roman had an ‘amazing run’. Reigns was champion for 1,316 days.

Undertaker said: “There was a lot of really emotional moments backstage, as you can imagine. Roman coming back after, what an amazing run as champion. If you look at it and put it in today’s market, what a phenomenal run. It’s not going to go down in the record books as the longest world title run, but when you look at it in actuality, with as much coverage, as much media, as much exposure as you have now. Backlund’s run and Hogan’s early run, they didn’t have social media. They didn’t have as much live TV. (They wrestled jobbers) or didn’t wrestle at all on TV. The biggest part about that is to be able to maintain and keep the people’s interest in that storyline, for that long. There were so many layers to it. Kudos to him and everybody that worked on all that. It’s really difficult to do and difficult to do well. There was some really good storytelling involved in that.“
