John Cena Calls Current WWE Star “Greatest Of All Time”

Whilst there are plenty to choose from, John Cena has managed to select who the best of all time is inside the squared circle.

Many would take the option of choosing a Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling, giving them the option to select four. Some would include John Cena on that list – however, Cena himself has managed to narrow his selection down to one.

In a new interview with Busted Open Radio, John Cena explained why he feels Roman Reigns’ run as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion earns him the plaudits as the greatest of all time.

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.

Cena went on to compare Reigns to Ric Flair, stating that The Head Of The Table gets the nod for how he has been able to make himself exclusive whilst elevating others.

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.

During the interview, John Cena also discussed his reputation for burying talent.
