Roman Reigns has had a significant impact on WWE and the pro wrestling industry since returning to the ring in August 2020 after a hiatus during the pandemic. He has held the Universal Championship for over 1,300 days and is considered the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion. Reigns’ story, from struggling to gain attention in the WWE Universe to becoming the face of the company, will be featured in an upcoming episode of “Biography: WWE Legends.”

As the “Tribal Chief” and “Head of the Table,” Reigns has left little doubt as to who the top star in WWE has been over the past few years. His ability to disrupt the status quo of greatness in the industry required a level of bravery and ambition that few have ever matched. Reigns’ story includes helping to elevate his cousins, Jey and Jimmy Uso, as well as lifting the entire pro wrestling industry during a time when shows were being held without live audiences during the pandemic.

Paul Heyman, who has worked closely with Reigns, believes that the wrestler played a crucial role in leading WWE out of the pandemic and into a $21 billion merger with UFC to form TKO Group Holdings. Heyman praised Reigns for his main event status at WrestleMania as the world tried to return to normalcy. He believes that Reigns’ impact on the industry is as significant as the disruption ECW presented in the 1990s, albeit on a different level.

Heyman suggests that Reigns should not only be considered one of the faces on the Mount Rushmore of pro wrestling but should have his own mountain facing the traditional one. He believes that Reigns’ accomplishments and influence on the industry deserve special recognition. The upcoming episode of “Biography: WWE Legends” will shed light on Reigns’ journey from a young man entering the WWE ring to becoming one of the most dominant figures in the industry today.

WrestleMania 40 is just around the corner, with Reigns set to defend his Undisputed Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes. Heyman urged WWE fans to acknowledge Reigns as their “tribal chief” and recognize the unique and special time in history that the pro wrestling industry is currently experiencing. He emphasized that Reigns’ disruption of the industry is on a grand scale and may never be seen again. Reigns’ ability to lead WWE out of the pandemic and into a new era of growth and success has solidified his place as one of the greatest stars in the history of sports entertainment.
