For years, Roman Reigns has been pushed as a top guy in WWE, but he never fully clicked with fans until he returned from hiatus in the summer of 2020 as a heel and aligned himself with Paul Heyman before winning the Universal Title.
He later formed The Bloodline faction with The Usos and Solo Sikoa before beating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 to become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
Now, Reigns is closing in on 1,000 days as Universal Champ while maintaining his spot as the Tribal Chief.
While speaking with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour today, Hulk Hogan was asked about Reigns, and one of the biggest names in wrestling history believes they could’ve done some serious business back in his prime.
“Well, he’s got it figured out. A lot of people wrestle for 20 or 30 years, and they don’t ever figure it out. You know, they’re smart to the business, and they know, but they’re really never figured it out. He’s figured out as far as placement and timing goes and that slow, methodical cadence when you’re in the ring. I don’t know where you want to place him, you know, on Mount Rushmore’s fall as far as the main event wrestler goes. But at the end of the day, if I was in my prime and I walked in with him, I could draw some major money with him. Yeah, I could draw some serious money with them. If I was 40 years old, I could go back to Roman Reigns in my prime. I could draw some major money with him. That would be something.”
