Roman Reigns is that guy, and you can know that anytime he makes an appearance on WWE television. The dude just oozes charisma, what the kids these days call aura, and he’s been so consistently good for so long now that the top brass in the company are putting him at the level of legends like The Undertaker.
Take it from Triple H himself from the Survivor Series post show:
“He’s almost transcended to a point in the business where he’s bigger than the championship. He’s bigger than being a world champion. He is just a legend unto himself. You know, I used to think that about Taker all the time. He just transcended the business in a way that you didn’t even need to talk about him in the title picture because he was epically in that circle. That is where Roman Reigns is right now. He just… there is an aura about him and just something different.”
Reigns has been talking like he’s going to go after either WWE Champion Cody Rhodes or World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk. When asked what could be next in that regard, Triple H just kept talking about how great Reigns is and pretty much allowing him to choose what happens next:
“When you have a star the size of Roman Reigns, he transcends the world title, he transcends the Royal Rumble, he transcends the Elimination Chamber. Does he really need to qualify or does he just call his shot? That’s a decision that we here in the WWE need to make very shortly. I have a feeling that one of those two guys, CM Punk or Cody Rhodes, is on a collision course with Roman Reigns. It’s going to be interesting to see where that goes.”
Reigns could be seen telling Rhodes the two of them will never team again after their defeat in the War Games match, but he seemed to play well with Punk.
We’ll just have to stay tuned.
In the meantime, do you agree Reigns is on Undertaker’s level now?
