Legendary wrestling manager Jim Cornette has commented on the star power that WWE has access to, including Roman Reigns. He does not think any of them will leave the Stamford-based company to join AEW.
The Tribal Chief is currently set to make his return on SmackDown tonight. Sixteen-time World Champion John Cena will also be present on the show. The Rock is another major name that has appeared on the blue brand recently. NXT this week saw the surprise appearance of The Undertaker, one of the all-time greats.
On the latest edition of the Jim Cornette Experience, the WWE veteran stated that besides Roman Reigns, WWE has access to popular names like Pat McAfee and Logan Paul, who wouldn't even consider going to AEW.
"They got Roman Reigns coming back into the pipeline and they've got access to other names that people recognize, and Pat McAfee or Logan Paul that are not even going to consider being involved in AEW. I mean this is starting to look like the glory days of the Chicago Bears against the Bad News Bears," said Cornette. [0:28-1:00]

Jim Cornette believes Roman Reigns can pick up the star power for WWE whenever John Cena returns to Hollywood
The Cenation Leader has been appearing on WWE programming every week since the beginning of September. He also made his televised in-ring return at Fastlane where he teamed up with LA Knight.
Jim Cornette spoke about Roman Reigns returning to SmackDown and how he will continue the star power even when John Cena returns to acting.
"A lot of people are wondering what he's gonna be saying about a lot of things. So, again, the star power is continuing... Cena's already made the statement, you know, that when the strike is over, he's gotta get back to a production. He won't be able to wrestle anymore because of insurance, and you can't do both. I don't blame him," said Cornette. [0:06-0:28]
