WWE star Roman Reigns has elevated himself to an elite level that few have reached. During the pandemic era, he introduced his 'Tribal Chief' gimmick, which not only made him the biggest star but also popularized pro wrestling. The global sports entertainment juggernaut also reached new heights, riding the coattails of his generational run.
AEW's MJF has been receiving a lot of attention recently, as he is starring in the upcoming Happy Gilmore 2, which also features legendary actor Adam Sandler. The movie will stream on Netflix, and Maxwell has been busy promoting the film. Along with him, Becky Lynch also plays a major part in the movie.
Recently, WWE veteran Jonathan Coachman suggested that, given the popularity MJF has gained from the film, they should make him the Roman Reigns of AEW. He has been great on the microphone and in the squared circle. However, a sudden push while being a part of the Hurt Syndicate might hurt the faction.

Let's take a look at some of the major AEW names who could be the next Roman Reigns.
These wrestlers angered WWE management! Check what happened next
#3. Kyle Fletcher
The Protostar is one of the most promising stars in the AEW locker room. Despite his youth, he has achieved a new level of success in the past few months. He split with his long-time tag team partner, Will Ospreay, and changed his look last year. His new presentation as a heel has been great. However, he has yet to pick up important victories in the promotion.
Kyle Fletcher might win the TNT Championship in the coming weeks. However, a midcard title won't be enough for him. He should be involved in entertaining stories alongside top stars. Within a year, AEW has the opportunity to turn Fletcher into a star like Roman Reigns.
#2. Swerve Strickland - The Mogul Chief
The Most Dangerous Man in AEW turned from a normal WWE mid-card player to a world champion in AEW. With just a bit more polish, he could become a massive draw for the Jacksonville-based company. Fans love him, and his matches always deliver.
It seems like the Realest star will have to turn heel in the future. Swerve Strickland has the same dedication level as Roman Reigns, and if the former is pushed hard enough, he could become AEW's Mogul Chief.
#1. Will Ospreay could be AEW's Roman Reigns
The Aerial Assassin is the whole package. He is everything a pro wrestler should be. His promos are genuine, and his in-ring skills are incomparable.
However, Tony Khan has yet to push the former International Champion in a way that fans feel he deserves. He has been involved in several high-stakes matches since joining AEW, and fans support him.
Similar to Roman Reigns, he is a polarizing figure who can draw more eyes to the Jacksonville-based promotion when the time is right.
Kazuchika Okada recently unified two championships, similar to what The Tribal Chief did at WrestleMania 38. However, some feel it's too late for The Rainmaker to become the face of the promotion.
It will be interesting to see who steps up and becomes the Head of the Table in AEW.
