Cena returned to WWE on the September 1st episode of SmackDown and hosted the following night Payback. At Payback, Cena was introduced as the Greatest of All Time by the ring announcer Mike Rome. Almost every one who talks about Cena mentions him as the GOAT. However, Cena named Roman Reigns as the GOAT in a recent media conference.
Roman Reigns is GOAT
Cena is currently in India with fellow WWE team members to take part in the Superstar Spectacle at GMC Balayogi Stadium, Hyderabad. This is WWE's first live event in India since 2017, where Cena will be fighting for the first time in India in his 20 year long career. He teams up with Seth Rollins and takes on Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci of Imperium in the main event.
Upon arrival Cena was surrounded by a bunch of media people with the mic to hype the Superstar Spectacle event. Where Sportskeeda asked Cena about his opinion on the Greatest of All time, to which Cena replied,
"In my perspective, I think Roman Reigns is the greatest of all time."
Cena had his answer straight by mentioning Roman Reigns as the GOAT, since he is the active wrestler in the company. Although, Cena said that Roman is the GOAT, he is no closer to matching the numbers of Cena. Where Roman is a 6 time world champion and Cena is a 16 time world champion. Roman Reigns and Cena most recently had their one-on-one match at SummerSlam 2021, where Roman Reigns won the match to retain the Universal Championship.
