John Cena was part of the interview for WWE Rivals & Biography: WWE Legends. As a veteran of the business, Cena has worked with both the old guys like Johnson and the young talent like Reigns. While talking about The Tribal Chief, he said, “Many have “held the title,” but none have elevated the position and have had as much success personally and for the entirety of the @WWE like romanreigns.” This is a nod to Reigns over 1200+ days as the WWE Universal Champion. While he has not defended the title as much as fans would have wanted to see, Reigns’ reign has given the title the kind of gravity Gunther’s reign as the Intercontinental champion has.
