The war between WWE and AEW has revived the interest levels in professional wrestling. WWE has been pushed to make a host of changes and many fans and pundits feel AEW can actually give the company a run for its money.

The Big Dog, though, isn't stressed about the emergence of AEW as he thinks it would be foolish to consider AEW as competition for WWE.

During an interview with Sportster, Roman Reigns was asked about AEW contending with WWE for the top spot in pro wrestling.

He bluntly shot down the threat posed by AEW by saying, "I’ll just say this. It’s all so new and it was what it was with Ambrose leaving and popping up over there... Competition? No, there’s no competition. WWE, we know exactly what we’re doing. We have the best talent in the world. There’s no comparing, I say that with firm confidence, all the way from the top to the very bottom. We are world class all the way through. Is it another option? Sure. [For wrestlers, AEW is] another option and another place to get a cheque. I’m never against optimism but I think you have foolish thoughts if you really think there’s a comparison or actual competition. Just an option, which isn’t a bad thing.” H/t credit: TheSportster
