Being the WWE franchise player for almost 15 years, John Cena is a brand of his own which WWE gets to utilize on special occasions. His name continues to add more value to ventures that he gets associated with, especially after earning mainstream attention due to his Hollywood ventures. In the latest, WWE got to bring him for last night’s show in India which gained even more attention than expected.
John Cena appeared in a bunch of media events to hype the Superstar Spectacle 2023 event after arriving in India. While taking questions on Friday, he was once asked about his opinion of the greatest of all time in the WWE. In response, he was straight to mention Roman Reigns in that position.
“In my perspective, I think Roman Reigns is the greatest of all time.”
Superstar Spectacle 2023: John Cena Leaves Emotional Message For Indian WWE Fans
John Cena has own reasons to admire Roman Reigns
Like Roman Reigns, John Cena’s name is often thrown around when fans mention the greatest of all time. Previously while speaking to Busted Open Radio, the former 16-time world champion already declared his reasons for noting WWE’s tribal chief in the number-one spot,
“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.” (quotes courtesy Fightful)
Names like Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and Bret Hart are often touted as the greatest legends in WWE history while Roman Reigns is the only active Superstar amongst them who is still carrying the WWE’s flag. Also, John Cena has been in the ring with Roman Reigns on two separate PPV singles matches from which the Cenation Leader had first-hand experience with the Samoan Superstar.
John Cena missed this week’s WWE Smackdown as he was in India to feature in the main event of Superstar Spectacle 2023. He and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins defeated Imperium (Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci) in a tag team match. The finish saw both the men hitting their respective finishers (Attitude Adjustment and Pedigree) to earn a double pin-fall win.
