Why isn’t Lesnar a GOAT for Roman?

In a recent interview with Bleacher Report, Reigns shared his thoughts over his match with Lesnar. Roman complimented ‘The Beast’, saying he knows his capability. He talked about how his physical shape and strength are looking phenomenal.

Reigns even accepted that Lesnar is the biggest threat to his championship reign. However, Reigns does not believe Lesnar is the GOAT.

He said, “Brock Lesnar might be one of the most… I’m not going to throw him in that GOAT category of actual MMA fighting and mixed martial arts.”

These words from the tribal chief show his opinion of the beast. He appreciated his eye-catching presence in the ring. Also, the success and fame Lesnar enjoyed was applauded, but still, Reigns denied him as the greatest of all time.
