Roman Reigns is nearing three years as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion and now needs a fresh crop of talents to challenge him.
The Tribal Chief smashed Brock Lesnar, John Cena, and Edge, among others, and even booted Bryan Danielson out of the blue brand right before the latter left the company. But with all the legends the Tribal Chief has conquered, could Dominik Mysterio be a credible challenger?
During a recent appearance on WWE The Bump, the young Judgment Day member was asked about which superstar could not survive prison, to which he took a moment before replying:

But Owen had this character that we like, look at Dominik's (Mysterio) character, and I see little shades of Owen, that litle mischevious side of Dom. I think Owen would have definitely won a World Heavyweight Championship." [H/T: Sportskeeda Wrestling]
