5 reasons why WWE fans should like Roman Reigns

#4 He’s involved in some of WWE’s best matches

Roman Reigns raised a few eyebrows when he claimed on WWE Network show ‘Straight To The Source’ in December 2017 that he is “the best in-ring performer in the world right now”, adding that fans can either call him an “idiot” for thinking that or they can say “man, he’s got a point”.

Viewers of NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 12 event will almost certainly put him in the “idiot” category, while the fans who primarily get their wrestling fix from WWE will probably admit that he is among the best performers that Vince McMahon’s company has.

After all, he featured in five of WWE’s top 25 matches of 2017 – only AJ Styles, with six, had more – with singles matches against Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins and Cesaro among those making the list.

For somebody who used to have “You can’t wrestle!” chanted at him, Reigns has done a pretty good job of silencing doubters of his in-ring ability over the last couple of years.
