5 AEW stars who are better wrestlers than Roman Reigns: Former world champion, WrestleMania main eventer

#4. AEW star PAC is better than Roman Reigns

From an in-ring perspective, very few in AEW can touch PAC, much less Roman Reigns. The former Cruiserweight Champion is one of the best technical wrestlers in the world and a world-class high flyer.

PAC has hardly ever had a bad match in AEW. His strikes are crisp, his spots are well executed and his finisher, the Black Arrow, is a thing of absolute beauty. Roman Reigns simply does not have the arsenal that PAC possesses, and there's no doubt the former Adrian Neville is superior as an in-ring performer.

PAC against Kenny Omega, Andrade (Andrade Cien Almas in WWE), Dax Harwood, and Hangman Page were some of the best matches on AEW television. While Roman Reigns' matches are a spectacle in their own right, there's no comparison when it comes to the technical aspect.

#3. Roman Reigns' recent rival Bryan Danielson is arguably the best in the world

Roman Reigns defeated Bryan Danielson multiple times in 2021, including a Triple Threat Match in the main event of WrestleMania 37. The Tribal Chief retired The American Dragon from WWE SmackDown and, soon after, Danielson was in AEW.

Daniel Bryan had a bunch of amazing matches in WWE, but his AEW run has been nothing short of spectacular. Not only has he delivered, but he's ensured that his opponents come out with their reputations enhanced.

The same happened with Roman Reigns. Daniel Bryan was the superior performer when they squared off, and every match was fantastic. Many WWE stars have had their best technical matches against Daniel Bryan, like John Cena, AJ Styles, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, and Bray Wyatt.

At the moment, nobody in AEW or WWE touches Bryan Danielson.
