The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns has had a spectacular run as the WWE Universal Champion. He already defeated big names like Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre and John Cena, among others, during his reign as the top champion. Now, WWE is reportedly planning a massive first-time-ever match between Reigns and The Rock next year.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that WWE wants to project Roman Reigns as the biggest star in the company today. His current reign is behind only Hulk Hogan in WWE, and the company wants him to retain the championship until he faces The Rock at WrestleMania 39.
”Reigns is pushed as the company’s biggest marquee star, and they want him as champion for this match and a potential match with The Rock at WrestleMania,” wrote Meltzer.
Meltzer also further stated that the WWE os not only building Roman Reigns as the biggest star of the generation, but also making his long title reign is part of a storyline:
”But clearly they are looking at a storyline of making him the longest reigning champion post Hulk Hogan,” Meltzer continued.
