#1 Positive: Roman Reigns has been cemented as an all-time great in WWE

All things considered, WWE has finally succeeded in making Roman Reigns the biggest star in the industry. All the company had to do was turn him heel and allow a degree of creative freedom, especially with Paul Heyman playing a big role in the proceedings.

Reigns now has the aura of a megastar, making every action of his a big deal. It is a rare feat for a WWE Superstar, especially during an era where Vince McMahon considers the brand more important than its wrestlers.

The Tribal Chief has matured into such a fine performer, mastering the art of subtle storytelling in so many ways. Reigns has been responsible for most of the company's best matches and moments in the past year. Even when the booking isn't the greatest, he delivers in the ring.

When all is said and done, people will look back at Reigns' record-breaking Universal Championship run with undisputed fondness. As long as the shortage of viable contenders is fixed, The Tribal Chief doesn't seem like slowing down at all.

This title reign has proven how good the overall product can be on RAW and SmackDown if every story is treated with care and attention. Roman Reigns deserves to be acknowledged as one of the greatest of all time. Believe that!
