A few years ago, John Cena left WWE and followed in the footsteps of his former foe, The Rock, and joined Hollywood. Still, he often makes sporadic appearances for the company and, is currently scheduled to face Austin Theory at WrestleMania 39 for the US title.
The 45-year-old is one of the most loved superstars of all time. However, recently, he found himself receiving some hate after making a controversial statement regarding a current superstar. Cena recently spoke to AP News and called Roman Reigns the ‘G.O.A.T’.

Soon after his comments, John Cena found himself in trouble. Wrestling fans online started turning on Cena and responded with not-so-kind comments for The Leader of Cenation.
Instead of bringing up other legends, Cena pushed Reigns as the ‘GOAT’, and it hurt the fan’s sentiments. While Cena is himself one of the greats, his compliment for Roman Reigns means a lot, and it actually elevates Reigns position as The Head of the Table.

Over the past two and a half years, Reigns has dominated WWE. His mic skills have improved by leaps and bounds, along with his wrestling skills.
Still, some fans came online and addressed Cena’s comments.
I don’t know how. What aspect of wrestling is he the greatest at? Matches, promos, selling tickets? I don’t think so

Could not disagree with him more. The Undertaker will always be the greatest of all time. No one else was ever considered a top guy in WWE for 30 years.

Roman greatest of all time?? Didn't knew Cena started drinking

While some fans straight denied the compliment and claimed that they are yet to see an amazing match from Reigns.
I have yet to see him have an amazing match

So basically everything that Cena says on the mic in WWE is bullshit 🤣 Good to know

Some fans brought up names such as The Undertaker, The Rock, Stone Cold, and many others that could have been considered as GOATS, alongside Roman Reigns.
I feel like there’s like 10 -12 names that could all be considered including Taker, Cena, rock , StoneCold , flair, Roman,Hbk etc

But now tho? Out of all the legends we’ve had? Why him? Bc of the title reign? Pure wrestling skills? Idk…I like Roman but I just can’t see him as the goat.

Roman Reigns would be facing The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39. Rhodes returned to WWE last year and is hungrier than ever. The Tribal Chief has a tough challenge laid out in front of him. A win there for Reigns could be another step towards solidifying Cena’s claim about him.
Roman Reigns has emerged as one of the biggest stars of this era and stands out in terms of star power and sheer dominance. Do you agree with Cena’s comments about him? Or do you believe that statement is far-fetched? Let us know in the comments.
