He’s kind of a big deal. One of the top stories in WWE in the last ten months has been the return and the rise of Roman Reigns. Having held the Universal Title since August 2020, Reigns has been one of the most dominant stars the company has seen in a rather long time. It has been a pretty great nine and a half months for Reigns, but WWE is also thinking about the future.
According to Wrestlingnews.co, Reigns is booked as an unstoppable force who dominates everyone he faces in an attempt to set up his match against the Rock, whenever that may take place. Vince McMahon is said to see Reigns as someone who could carry the company for years to come and does not want Reigns as someone who is beaten down half of the time. McMahon’s theory is to “protect Reigns at every cost.”
Reigns has been on fire as of late. Check out some of his most recent dominance:
Opinion: This is the kind of thing that makes sense long term as this version of Reigns is not something that WWE comes along every day. The company has been trying to make this work for a very long time now and WWE would be a bit nuts to not protect Reigns as much as they possibly can. I could see Reigns as a top face for the company in the future, but WWE might want to take their time to get there.
What do you think of Reigns’ recent work? How could WWE turn him? Let us know in the comments below.
