Roman Reigns has drawn parallels between his current position in WWE and where he was a decade ago, acknowledging that the new generation is coming for his spot just as he once came for Brock Lesnar's.
In an interview on WWE Countdown ahead of Survivor Series: WarGames, "The Tribal Chief" was asked about rising stars like Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed challenging his position. Rather than dismissing them, Reigns offered a philosophical take on the situation.
I think it's just the circle of life in WWE. 10 years ago, I was the young guy. Brock Lesnar was the top of the mountain, and I was trying to knock him off that peg. Years later, it's happening to me.
Despite the acknowledgment, Reigns made clear he isn't ready to step aside. He described WWE as a competitive environment where everyone is gunning for the top position.
It's a shark tank. Everybody wants what you have. And I'd say right now, whether I have a title or not, everybody wants what the Tribal Chief has.
The comments reflect Reigns' understanding of WWE's generational nature while maintaining his confidence as the company's top star. He faces Breakker and Reed tonight at Survivor Series: WarGames, where the new generation will attempt to prove they belong at the top of the mountain.
