Chris Jericho appeared on Sports Illustrated Now where he spoke about the perception of Roman Reigns by fans and why he considers him to be one of the best in the world.

Jericho had the following to say:

“For whatever reason, it’s the cool thing to boo Roman Reigns, just as it was the cool thing to boo John Cena, just as it was the cool thing to boo The Rock.”

He continued by saying:

“Roman Reigns might be the best wrestler in the company. And I’m telling you that because if people are interested in what you’re doing whether they’re booing or whether they’re cheering, they’re still gonna pay money to see you.”

In regards to a heel turn for Reigns, Jericho would end by saying:

“I wouldn’t change it right now. Obviously the boss has decided Roman is going to be a tweener. It’s like football or baseball or hockey, not everybody’s going to cheer for the same team, as long as you’re making noise. And Roman’s not stale.”
