When it comes to the WWE, there has always been, and always will be, a 'top guy' in the company. This person--not necessarily, but usually, the big belt champion--is treated as the 'star' of WWE shows. The storylines and angles are built around the top guy, and they always feature prominently on the card at or near the main event level.

In the WWE's 'classic' era, the top guy was without a shadow of a doubt Hulk Hogan. After Hogan's departure, it sort of fluctuated between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Then in the Attitude Era, Stone Cold Steve Austin was the top guy. He was replaced by first the Rock and then John Cena, who was himself replaced by Roman Reigns.

Now that Roman Reigns is on a medical leave of absence, Triple H and Vince McMahon are butting heads on who should be the top guy in the WWE. Vince is rumored to want Drew McIntyre to walk out of Wrestlemania 35 with the Universal title, while Triple H would prefer that fell upon Seth Rollins.
