For Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, it’s about quality, not quantity.
Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, 16-time world champion John Cena came up in the conversation, as it was noted that Cena is often considered one of the greatest of all time. Reigns was asked when he realized that he was in that conversation.
“I’ve always known it. I’ve always been striving for it, and I’ve always had this obsession with it,” Roman Reigns said. “I was born in ‘85, so you’re growing up through the 90s, you had Michael Jordan, there’s just this mentality. It was different times back in the day. I’m not trying to get all old-school on everybody, but it was tougher, it was a tougher mentality than it is today.
“That is just something that conditioned me to chase it and want to be on a different level than everybody. I don’t take anything away from anybody. What John’s done is, yeah, as far as generations comes, that’s GOAT-level stuff. But for me, it’s always been about quality, not quantity.”
Roman Reigns: John Cena Doesn’t Have A Title Reign That Can Compare To Mine
Roman Reigns then stated that John Cena does not have a title reign that can compare to his. He reiterated that he would always take a quality reign over stacking up multiple reigns.
“John had a lot of title reigns, but he doesn’t have a title reign that can compare to what I’ve done in the past four years,” Roman Reigns said. “So this quality that I’ve put on display, it speaks for itself. The business backs it. Everything that’s happened, it’s made this place more lucrative than it’s ever been. It’s made this place more attractive.
“My reign has gone through the most turbulent, crazy time in WWE’s history, and that says a lot. I will always take the quality of this run over going 14,15,16 times, any day of the week.”
