Veteran journalist and Sportskeeda senior editor Bill Apter recently spoke about Roman Reigns. The Original Tribal Chief made his return at SummerSlam last month.
Reigns showed up at SummerSlam after a long hiatus. He Speared Solo Sikoa, costing him the chance to win the Undisputed WWE Championship. In the weeks following the event, Roman targeted The Bloodline. However, he was neutralized after a vicious attack from Jacob Fatu.
During the latest episode of Smack Talk, Bill Apter mentioned that Reigns was the biggest star in the company. He felt despite being a heel, Roman Reigns was still getting the biggest reactions from the WWE Universe. The journalist also pointed out that The OTC's appearances outside the ring also brought more eyeballs to the product.
"You cannot overlook the fact that even as a heel [Roman Reigns] is the most over wrestler in the company. He does all these amazing personal appearances. He did a big thing with Paul Heyman this weekend." [From 20:13 to 20:31]
