The muscle of The Shield finished 2013 strong as the sole survivor in his first Survivor Series elimination match and continued on his run with victories over CM Punk. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins have stood out in their own ways, but it seems Reigns star has shined the brightest lately. Much like The Rock, the newest rising star of the Anoa'i family has made a successful transition from the gridiron to the squared circle with his best years ahead of him. Reigns does most of his talking in the ring with his devastating moves including his powerful spear. Reigns has been in the ring with some of the heavy hitters of WWE like John Cena, Daniel Bryan and Kane and more than held his own. The powerhouse has become the one to watch in 2014 by many within the industry. So far Reigns has made the most of every opportunity that has come his way. It's easy to expect much of the same with time and experience. A future WWE world heavyweight champion could be in the making.
