#2. AEW star Adam Cole is better than Roman Reigns
Trending
Adam Cole was one of the biggest names to join AEW in 2021, and the former NXT champion is a better professional wrestler than Roman Reigns.
Adam Cole ticks all the boxes required to be a top superstar. He's excellent between the ropes, has abundant charisma, and has killer promos in him. There's a reason why he always gets the loudest reactions despite being a heel.
Top name doesn't want to enter the WWE Hall of Fame. More details HERE.
The only point of contention is his size, and Roman Reigns trumps him significantly. The Tribal Chief has the look and aura of a total badass. But, when it comes to being a professional wrestler, The Panama City Playboy is better.
One would struggle to find a Roman Reigns match as good as Adam Coles' against Keith Lee, Johnny Gargano, and Kyle O'Reilly.
#1. MJF is the best heel in the business
While AEW and WWE fans hardly ever agree, one thing both sides can agree upon is the fact that MJF is on his way towards becoming the most despised heel, if he isn't already.
Roman Reigns is doing the best work of his career. There's a reason why he's the biggest star in the business. But MJF is arguably better as the overall package. The Salt of the Earth is a vicious force on the mic. Roman Reigns is escorted by Paul Heyman, who does most of the talking, so the Universal Champion is a man of a few words.
What sets the two apart is their in-ring styles. As mentioned before, Roman relies on the WWE style of wrestling, which leads to long and slow matches, most of which are similar in their layout. He either can't or is instructed not to mix it up. MJF has displayed an impressive versatility that adds to his heel character.
MJF vs. Jungle Boy at AEW Double or Nothing was an excellent technical match, while his battle against Chris Jericho was more on the lines of a slow, story-heavy match. When he faced Sammy Guevara, MJF showed he can wrestle a more intense and fast-paced style, while the AEW Full Gear match between MJF and Darby Allin was an instant classic.
Roman Reigns has not shown that versatility yet, and is not as good as MJF on the mic, making this a fairly straightforward call as to who's better.
