#6 Booker T hails WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns as the best guy in business right now
WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns has successfully established himself as the most dominant heel in the promotion. WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently spoke about Reigns and picked him as the "No 1 guy in business" at the time.
Booker T claimed that Roman Reigns has been at the top of the pro-wrestling industry for the last three years. He further praised Reigns for working hard during his matches and for his overall professionalism. Booker T also insisted that Reigns performs at a high level and helps other WWE Superstars deliver their best matches. Here's what he had to say:
“I've said for the last three years that Roman (Reigns) is the best guy in the business just because he's a guy that goes out and performs at a very, very high level but everyone that work(s) with Roman, they have their best match. They come up another level.”
He contnued, “They may not ever have a match like that ever again but when they're in there with Roman, Roman goes out and does everything he needs to do from a professional's perspective, from a general's perspective, to make everything about the match and give the fans what they want. So, he's my guy. He's the number 1 guy in the business right now.”
Roman Reigns recently defended his Universal Championship against Rey Mysterio in an entertaining Hell in a Cell match. Following that, Paul Heyman issued an open challenge on behalf of his client. It will be exciting to see which WWE Superstar will step up to Reigns on SmackDown.
#5 Kevin Owens confirms he is taking break from wrestling after WWE Hell in a Cell
