WWE News & Rumor Roundup: Unexpected original plan for released star, Veteran praises Roman Reigns, Note on Bray Wyatt's release (December 20, 2021)

#4. R-Truth praises WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns has received a lot of praise from fans and industry veterans ever since he became a top villain in WWE last year.

In a recent appearance on Corey Graves' After the Bell podcast, R-Truth highlighted how The Tribal Chief had helped him out in and out of the company on a few occasions. He also mentioned that Reigns' growth as a WWE Superstar is still ongoing.

"I think he's the best thing we’ve got going on in the company right now. He's the face of the company, he's the man. I’m glad and fortunate to be able to spend time with him. He’s helped me out, not even at work but outside of work. To watch him grow into what he’s becoming, because he isn’t finished growing yet. What we’re seeing now is just the sprinkles on the cake that’s been baked, we ain’t even tasted it yet," said R-Truth.

Both men indeed share a close bond in real life. Back in 2019, Roman Reigns said he considered R-Truth like a family member and even called the latter 'one of the greatest of all time.'
