"Now we have the finished product"- Former WWE Champion is impressed with the transformation of Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns has completely turned his character around ever since returning as a heel last year at SummerSlam. Former WWE Champion Mark Henry recently praised The Tribal Chief for this transformation.

For years Roman Reigns was pushed to the main event as a top babyface and this wasn't accepted by the fans. The superstar garnered tremendous heat at one point in his career as fans believed that WWE was trying to force-feed him to the top.

Mark Henry is just as impressed as anybody with the transformation of Roman Reigns which he stated during an episode of SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio.

“Roman Reigns, you talked about this [speaking to co-host Jonathan Hood], his metamorphosis has been one for the ages. From the guy that we first saw that left NXT to the guy that was in The Shield, the guy after The Shield that they force-fed him to us as a babyface. They were forcing it and you could tell that he didn’t embrace it. He didn’t embrace it, that’s why it didn’t work. He really wanted to be who he is now and he was right but he had to go through all those other phases to be able to make people give a damn and now we have the finished product," said Mark Henry, (H/T- sescoops)

Things changed for the former Shield member at last year's Summerslam when he returned with a new character. He went on to become the dominant heel that we see today. The Tribal Chief has been the most entertaining character in all of WWE for the entirety of 2021.
