The Undertaker has once again spoken highly of Roman Reigns. The two stars have shared the ring a few different times, both as partners and competitors.
Reigns beat Taker in the headliner at WrestleMania 33 in Orlando, Florida in 2017. Two years later, they teamed up together at the WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view event in Philadelphia, PA. At this show, Reigns and Taker beat Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre.
While speaking with The Independent, The Undertaker thinks Reigns is on one of the greatest runs of all time.
“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. 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. 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.”
Taker noted he would’ve loved to have been healthy enough to work with Reigns now as when they wrestled at Mania, he was on his last legs, and Reigns wasn’t the performer that he is now. He praised Seth Rollins for being an incredible in-ring talent and thinks Rollins’ flamboyant character would’ve been an interesting contrast with his deadman gimmick.
