– During this week’s edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry weighed in on Roman Reigns beating LA Knight in their title bout last Saturday at WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Mark Henry on how Reigns beat LA Knight: “Will Roman Reigns win that match without interference? The way it was presented, Roman wouldn’t have won that match if there wasn’t interference — he needed help to beat LA Knight. That is big, y’all.”

Henry on Reigns being elite: “You can’t talk about elite pro wrestling without mentioning Roman Reigns. You just can’t — If you do, you’re hating. If I have Roman Reigns as my bell cow, he’d do exactly what the hell he’s doing. He would show up, point the finger in the air, direct some stuff, tell people where to go, and then I would take his ass back to his hotel — in a limo. Because if he gets injured, the pay-per-views are over with, and the ratings dive. That’s how powerful he is!”

Reigns has been WWE Universal Champion for over 1,163 days. He became the Undisputed Champion after beating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38.
