In a recent interview, John Cena gave his opinion on the best wrestler in the industry. Like any other sport, the pro wrestling world is divided hugely based on who the greatest of all time is. Fans around the world have different opinions and support different wrestlers. The former WWE Champion called Roman Reigns the greatest of all time.

Interestingly enough, the pro wrestling world considers John Cena the greatest of all time. Cena has had a lengthy and successful career in WWE, winning multiple championships. In the conversation of the GOATs, legends like Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Triple H, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Shawn Michaels make it to the top of the list. There are other superstars who are on the list as well.

“For me, personally, I think Roman Reigns has to be considered strongly [as the greatest of all time].” Cena added,“I love that Roman did it his own way by crafting his own personality, by redefining what it means to be at the top of the hierarchy.” Roman Reigns turned heel in late 2020, and that turned out to be the best decision for him as well as WWE.

The Tribal Chief has been the longest-reigning champion in WWE in the modern era. He is about to surpass the 1,000 day mark soon. Roman Reign’s title reign produced multiple memorable moments. He defeated the likes of John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and many more.

The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns returned and turned heel at SummerSlam 2020. He won the Universal Championship at Payback 2020 by defeating Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman in a triple-threat match. The first opponent Reigns had after his heel turn was his cousin, Jey Uso. Reigns dominated and established himself as the Tribal Chief. Roman then set out to make his faction “The Bloodline.”

After that, The Tribal Chief clashed with Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens, Daniel Bryan, and Edge, which lasted until WrestleMania 37. After Mania, Roman feuded with Rey Mysterio, Cesaro, and a returning Edge. He then had an acclaimed match with John Cena. The winning streak then continued with victories over the likes of Finn Balor, Sami Zayn, Goldberg, Bobby Lashley, and Seth Rollins.

Roman Reigns faced Brock Lesnar for the third time at WrestleMania 38 in a winner-take-all match. It was a WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship Unification match. In 2023, Roman faced Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Cody Rhodes and managed to get the victory with the help of his bloodline members. The historic reign is about to reach 1000 days at the Night of Champions in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
