John Cena Still Thinks Roman Reigns Is The Greatest of All Time

While WWE continues to push that John Cena is the greatest of all time, the 16-time World champion still thinks it’s Roman Reigns. In an interview with Club Shay Shay (via Fightful), Cena explained why he picks Reigns and revealed who his #2 choice is.

He said: “I don’t think there is a better breathing example of the best the business has ever been than Roman Reigns. It’s amazing that I’m saying a still active talent, with years in front of him, is the Greatest of All Time. He’s been in it since 2012. I had to work my way up. I started on the bench and then got on to the Saturday program, lost every match. He came in with The Shield and a really high level spot, and never wavered. Even when fans didn’t like him, he was still in a main event spot. He’s been in a main event lens for over a decade. In 2012, the stock was trading at $11. WWE/TKO stock is now at $117. That’s on his shoulders. There isn’t a better indication, and I know it’s a team effort, and nobody does it alone, but that, to me, is some serious shit. I have to give respect where it’s due. [Roman] is smart, passionate about the business, multi-generational athlete. Has respect for his family, the locker room, the business. He’s a very smart performer and someone I respect. He’d be my Greatest of All Time. Rock would be second. He did the same thing in the 90s. This is the one time I can say this because Rock’s numbers are always number one, Roman’s numbers have been better than Dwayne’s.“
