“Roman Reigns is the best wrestler in the world right now”
“He’s the best in the world”
“Hands down without any shadow of a debut”
“He hasn’t had a bad match since he was at that main event level”

Here’s the thing with Oba Femi that nobody wants to talk about.
For full disclosure, I’m a fan of Oba. I think he’s the future of WWE.
People are talking about Oba dethroning Roman Reigns and becoming world champion already. I think this is short sighted and will actually hurt Oba in the long term.
This isn’t a Brock Lesnar situation. There aren’t a lot of big guys on the roster like during Brock’s debut and tenure that Oba can run through.
If he goes on to dethrone Roman already, what’s next? Roman is the biggest star on the roster already, so anyone below him is a downgrade and not as impactful in terms of booking.
Then what?
Squashes everyone for the rest of his 20 year career?
The IWC will turn on him faster than their SSRI’s kick in during their mental episodes. This is a 100% GUARANTEE.
I think WWE needs to slow down on Oba. Give him a long IC title run and have him demolish the midcard. It’ll be fun to watch.
Then, slowly work him into the main title picture strategically.
Those calling for him to “squash everyone” and get “pushed to the moon” will also be the ones that complain when it becomes redundant.
This is something I don't see people touch on often the way Roman sells and executes his moves, it's all way to smooth, this is what being a great in ring worker actually looks like
He’s one of the smoothest, most well-rounded performers. He might not do flips or 100 moves, but whatever he does he does with perfection.... He hardly ever botches or is unsafe. Also his in-ring storytelling is unmatched
We gave yall TWO YEARS at the top and they were some of the most depressing in WWE History.
It's done. We're taking back what's ours starting in 2026.
First stop -> Winning the 2026 Royal Rumble.
Wouldn’t be to mad, there isn’t much high caliber guys in this era that should have that luxury, only names that would be ok is Roman(which likely won’t happen) or McIntyre
Hypothetically if The Rock was able to be John Cena's final opponent, would you be okay with it? Or would you still rather a current talent such as Gunther/Mcintyre?
Mark Henry believes Joe Hendry should be John Cena's final opponent for his retirement match, and that Cena should put over Hendry if he truly wants to give back to the business.
