When the time comes, who will Reigns pass the torch to?

The top babyface spot should be filled with the world's number 1 babyface!
'How can someone not in WWE replace Roman Reigns as the face of the company?', you ask! The answer is quite simple. Several legends such as Dave Meltzer and Steve Austin have named the man as a future WWE Superstar. Omega himself hasn't ruled out the idea of a WWE run, either!
We believe it's only a matter of time before the man arrives in WWE. As great as he's been in NJPW, Omega is only a shadow of the Superstar he could be if he were signed to WWE. In Japan, he will always play second fiddle to someone like Kazuchika Okada.
We can imagine Omega bypassing NXT to enter the main roster directly. If protected in the right manner, Omega can be a bigger babyface and merch seller than even Reigns is. Moreover, he has the physique that many independent wrestlers lack. One day, we can totally imagine him as WWE's new face.
