What were Jimmy Smith's latest comments regarding Roman Reigns?
Jimmy Smith recently claimed that WWE's behind-the-scenes is "more CM Punk than Brock Lesnar," as he used the two former UFC fighters as examples.
Speaking on MMA on Sirius XM, Smith claimed that Roman Reigns is just a "big muscular dude" who doesn't have the attributes to last in an actual fight. Smith said:
"The WWE behind the scenes is more CM Punk than Brock Lesnar. Does this guy look like he can fight?’ That’s what the WWE is about. Roman Reigns can’t fight. He looks like he can fight. He’s just a big muscular dude. [Daniel Cormier] does not [look like he can fight]. … You put [Cormier] next to Brock Lesnar, and it looks like a man and a kid, and WWE is all about that visual,” said the former RAW commentator.
Reigns is the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, and has been the face of the company for quite some time.
