Undertaker has high praise for Roman Reigns.
For the past number of years, Roman Reigns has been positioned head and shoulders above everybody else in WWE. Currently, Reigns is in the midst of a run with the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, a reign that recently crossed the 1000 day mark.
In a recent interview with The Independent, Undertaker, who's a former opponent of Reigns, gave his thoughts of 'The Tribal Chief' and his current reign at the top of the mountain.
"He’s doing a phenomenal job. His character, his talent and everything has grown exponentially through this run. It’s arguably one of the greatest runs ever. I like it because it’s such an old school move, to have the title that long."
Taker went on to say that Reigns is in the conversation to be one of the greatest superstars of all time, but that he doesn't know if he's in the same boat as Steve Austin or Hulk Hogan.
“He’s got to be in the conversation. But do you put him in the same boat as Stone Cold Steve Austin, or Hulk Hogan? I don’t know. Everything’s so subjective when it comes to that."
'The Deadman' went on to praise Reigns for how far he's come in recent years.
“Reigns has the claim to fame now. He’s the man. I mean, it’s not even close, really. He’s had the title for a thousand days. Business is incredible. He picks his own schedule. He’s got a claim, he’s got an argument. I’m really proud of him for how he’s come. It really has been impressive.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Undertaker said that he would want to work with stars like Reigns or Seth Rollins if he was still active. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
