Roman Reigns is arguably one of the biggest stars at this point in his WWE career. Just like any other successful performer in the company, Reigns is well aware that he has to pass on the torch to a deserving superstar in the future.

During a recent interview on ESPN's ‎Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg, the WWE Universal Champion called Drew McIntyre his "favorite number two." Roman Reigns believes there's nobody on the roster who can replace him as the top star right now. However, McIntyre might take up that spot at some point down the road.

"In a perfect world, if there was an opportunity to pass the torch to him [Drew McIntyre], he's the one guy I think that has captivated my attention in that manner," said Roman Reigns. "But at the same time, he ain't there. And it's only because I'm still here, so solid, within my foothold, my stronghold. The flag is fully planted in, so I can't even think about it now. But I mean, John [Cena] needed somebody to come in, so he could move on and try new things and take care of his body. I will eventually need that. But there's just nobody at this point."

Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre have fought each other in the past.

Their most recent singles encounter occurred at last year's WWE Survivor Series event, where Reigns emerged victorious in a match that lasted almost 25 minutes.
