Roman Reigns is a wrestler in his prime right now. After a long period in the creative doldrums, stagnating as a face nobody could like, WWE creative finally pulled the trigger on a heel turn.
Now, undefeated since December 2019, Reigns is arguably the most dominant wrestler around. He is leaner and meaner than ever. The addition of Paul Heyman as his spokesperson was a great stroke. Even if Roman has improved immeasurably on the mic in the same period of time. The journey to becoming a dominant heel was a remarkably simple one for Roman Reigns. Now, as Heavyweight champion, he rightly sits at the head of the table. Eleven consecutive defences of his title have only added to the tribal chief’s confidence.
Roman Reigns is riding high these days and doesn’t waste a moment in making sure everybody knows it. Taking to Twitter recently, Reigns penned a response to a WWE post asking fans about their favourite Backlash fight.
“I don’t need stunts or gimmicks.” Reigns began, referring to the evenings undead attack that has gained such derision from the WWE universe.
Reign’s went the distance with Cesaro at Backlash, in a fight lasting over thirty minutes. Cesaro was arguably the toughest competitor Roman Reign’s has faced as champion. In emerging victories, Reigns further clarified his status as the man to beat in WWE. The only question remaining is, who out there has what it takes to beat him.
