20 WWE Stars And Their Video Game Counterparts

18. Roman Reigns & Dovahkiin (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim)

I€™ve been saying for a year or more that Roman Reigns isn€™t a pro wrestler, he€™s a dragon-riding prince from a cheesy fantasy novel. I€™ve also talked (endlessly) about the long, labyrinthine storyline where Brock Lesnar was powered up to demonic levels to provide a dragon for Reigns to slay at Wrestlemania 31, so Reigns could get over big as a babyface champion with the WWE crowd. Well, it€™s not just one of my stupid one-liners anymore: the similarity is uncanny between Reigns and the player-character image from Skyrim, the Dovahkiin, or Dragonborn. Dovakiin, of course, hunts and defeats dragons - but there is a part in the game where he rides one too, so nyah. In WWE€™s storyline, Reigns never actually got to defeat his dragon: but Lesnar will be after his WWE World Heavyweight Championship at this year€™s Royal Rumble. I imagine, they€™ll have the sense to hold off a genuine confrontation between the two until they can make some money out of it€ but you never know, this could be his time to Shout.
