Roman Reigns’ growth has been exceptional. In fact, Reigns is only the second man to have defeated the WWE Legend ‘The Undertaker’. Roman Reigns has had more success as a baby face in his career. But upon his return after fighting Cancer, Reigns has been a top heel in the company.

JBL talks about working with Reigns

He said, “I tried it for a few months and I didn’t really enjoy it. You try and explain things the best that you feel in the interests of the performers, and they have so many different ideas. The ones that I dealt with, some of them were awesome, absolutely awesome. I tell you who was awesome… Roman Reigns.”
“He [Roman Reigns] got everything. That was before he main-evented all those WrestleManias. I thought, ‘This guy is really smart,'” JBL added.
