Nico Leonard held a recent interview with Roman Reigns. One of the topics discussed included Reigns’ thoughts about his belief that there is no true competition to WWE in the pro wrestling business and while there are other promotions wrestlers can work for, you have to be in WWE if you want to be considered on the “very tippy top of the mountain” as a star.
“There is no true competition for us. There are other promotions and places to work in wrestling, but if you want to be in the top show and you want to be considered at the very tippy top of the mountain, you have to be in WWE. I’ve done everything you can do there, but you still continue to dominate the scene and still be the number one guy. The moment they think you’ve done everything you can do, you can still pop up and show them, ‘here is another layer. Here’s another little sliver of entertainment that you didn’t think,’ or we can evolve the culture a little bit, one way or another.”
Reigns is currently scheduled to face off against CM Punk for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for the main event of Night 2 of WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
WWE’s closest and biggest competition in the pro wrestling industry is currently AEW since 2019.
