#6 The torch is passed, again

And yes, it is officially Roman Reigns' yard now. He has passed the final test to become "The Face of the WWE" - beat John Cena. He defeated the most decorated WWE wrestler who showcased more Wrestlemania main events than any other wrestler in the history of this business.

Four years ago, the torch was passed to John Cena by The Rock.

As we have seen in the WWE in the past, the 'torch' has been passed on from Superstars like Andre the Giant to Hulk Hogan, from Bret Hart to Shawn Michaels, and then later to Austin and Roc, and finally John Cena. And now, it is with Roman Reigns.

However, there is a clash of opinions both in the media and at arenas of whether Roman Reigns deserves this. Is he being pushed too much as WWE fed him the retiring Undertaker and now John Cena? Everyone before him had earned their way up and fans too supported them with their incredible support.

However, till now, the path has been very different for Roman Reigns. Though he has the torch, there is a long storm waiting to rain on his run.
