5 Things WWE Subtly told us in 2021: Possibly bad news for part-time legends, New requirement for superstars to get pushed revealed

#1. The Roman Reigns era in WWE is a long way from being over

Roman Reigns is currently enjoying the best run of his WWE career. While the last four months of 2020 saw him establish his new heel character, 2021 has seen him grow into the role and become the undisputed greatest Universal Champion in history.

When it's all said and done, Reigns' current title run will likely be remembered as one of the greatest world title runs in the modern era. The only problem he faces is that he is such a big step ahead of everyone that it's hard to think of anyone credible enough to dethrone him.

By the time New Year approaches, Roman Reigns will be 488 days into his Universal Championship reign. He is expected to headline WrestleMania in 2022 for the sixth time in his career -- and whether he wins or loses, the biggest plans will be for him.

Don't expect a Roman Reigns face turn anytime soon. He will likely have the same role in 2022, and whatever happens, will eventually be centered around him.
