Roman Reigns has been presented as the top star in WWE for the better part of a decade, kicking off with his Royal Rumble victory in 2015.
Reigns went to a new level during the pandemic, ascending as the Tribal Chief and helping take WWE to new heights. As Roman has been at the Head of the Table, and often stepping away, stars like Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, and more have battled to knock him off.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Roman was asked if he is ever worried he needs to return sooner due to others rising.
"No. I set it up too good. Too smart. If you build your systems properly, this is no different than big business. We can sit there and mentor billionaires on building systems to where you don't have to use your brain no more. Building systems where they become instincts. That's all I've done. I've just created systems within the pro wrestling and sports entertainment world. I treat it no differently than any CEO running any major company. There are all these little things that have to happen. There are so many boxes to check constantly in this role. Thank God for the Wiseman [Paul Heyman]. He makes it so much easier to organize and to handle. It's just one of those things. You have to know what you're doing. I put my time in. We took our notes, we did our studies, we did our lab work, we made our adjustments here and there. I don't compete with anybody. I'm just competing with myself. It's not different than Michael [Jordan] or Kobe [Bryant] or any of the greats. We're just going against ourselves. We just create a better version of ourselves. If I can make a better version of myself, he has no choice but to get better. Big Jim [Jimmy Uso] has to get better. Jey [Uso], everybody. Cream rises to the top. I believe in that. It's survival of the fittest. I'm not truly manipulating like we do on camera. I'm just better than everybody. I believe it. I walk every step with that type of conviction," stated Reigns.
