10 Most Powerful Wrestlers In WWE Today

5. Roman Reigns

'The Big Dog' being recently repositioned as the most outspoken loser on the main roster has diminished much of his appeal as a power player in WWE - particularly as long as bigger stars than him keep kicking out of all his biggest moves.

Once a literal and figurative giant next to Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, his reduced status has rendered him lesser to the perpetually mishandled 'Kingslayer' and presently-shelved 'Lunatic Fringe'. What he does still have - thank the f*cking lord - is an explosiveness that few can compete with. Roman throwing his supercharged super-fist into a super-scared chin is still a game-changer if the company actually adjust their booking policy towards him, but until the stories stop being as flimsy than the wall he pounded Jinder Mahal through on the London edition of Monday Night Raw, his stock (and stocky strength) has limited reach.

For a guy carrying such muscle, 'The Modern Day Maharaja' is perhaps the least powerful performer on either roster. An easy win over the former WWE Champion (still weird) would be a baby-step on a lengthy stroll back to the top of the card.
