John Cena may have been given the nickname of the "Greatest of All Time" by WWE but in John's opinion, that honor belongs to Roman Reigns.
John Cena was the long-running top star in WWE but that all changed when Roman Reigns hit the scene. Cena and Roman Reigns have crossed paths on a couple of occasions and Roman Reigns has always walked away with the win whenever they go one-on-one.
In a preview clip of the A&E Biography special on Roman Reigns, John commends Roman for doing things his own way after years of taking knocks from the audience as a babyface.
"It is on-the-job training no matter what we learn the most from failure. Roman had his share of knocks and finally just said, 'Fuck it, I'm doing it my own way,' and it has been a wrap ever since. it has been, dropped mic. conversation over. There's nobody like him. He should be compared only to himself."
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 @WWERomanReigns. A true one of a kind and, in my opinion, the greatest of all time.

While Roman Reigns has two matches at this year's WrestleMania, competing on both Saturday and Sunday, Cena is still waiting for the phone call and the invite to the event. Learn more about his desire to appear at WrestleMania XL here.
Fittingly, Paul Heyman recently commented that he and Roman Reigns do not strive to be compared to anyone, rather, just as John Cena indicated, they want to be the standard that all others are compared to. Read more here.
