10 Most Heavily Protected Wrestlers In WWE Today
3. Roman Reigns
All acknowledge the Tribal Chief.
The man who, in many ways, makes WWE tick these days, Roman Reigns has established a death grip on the main event scene and won’t be relinquishing it anytime soon. His run as Universal Champion has been one of the strongest World Title runs of the modern era, and this was made possible by WWE putting all their faith in the Head of the Table.
This run of dominance and terror began at last year’s SummerSlam, when returned after months of absence to lay out the Fiend and Braun Strowman. After confirming his heel turn and adding Paul Heyman to his side, Reigns went on an absolute tear.
This wasn’t the usual heel champion stealing wins either; Reigns absolutely decimated his opponents. In addition to his physical dominance, the narratives surrounding his feuds were also excellent, adding depth to his persona while elevating others like Jey Uso.
And while Roman had to concede some of that dominance against the likes of Daniel Bryan and Edge, he did go on to quickly reaffirm his authority with an absolute mauling of John Cena at this year’s SummerSlam.
