Roman Reigns has been groomed to take over from John Cena as the face of the WWE. He holds the record for most eliminations in a single Royal Rumble match, eliminating 12 men in the 2014 Royal Rumble match. The match was eventually won by Batista, but it is the performance put by Roman which caught many eyes.

He broke a record that was held by Kane for 13 years which stood at 11 eliminations until Reigns broke it in 2014. Reigns lasted 33 minutes and 51 seconds in the 2014 match before being eliminated by Batista.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

That same year, Reigns was heavily pushed as a singles wrestler and was inserted into world title contention in June. He later headlined pay-per-view events, and since then, "The Big Dog" has headlined three Wrestlemanias in a row.
