5 positives from Roman Reigns's WWE run in 2017

#4 Becoming a Grandslam Champion

Numbers don't lie.

In order to be considered as one of the biggest names in Professional Wrestling, numbers and stats count for a lot. People who were not lucky enough to have lived through the careers of greats like Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels will at least get some sense of how much of an impact they had on the business by hearing of their past accomplishments.

So it was important for Roman Reigns to enter that exclusive club of WWE superstars who can claim to be grandslam champions - men who have held every major title.

With Roman's Intercontinental Championship victory this year, his name was officially cemented in the annuls of Pro Wrestling. He has now been trusted with all of the company's silverware, something nobody will be able to take away from him.

Sure, it did not make a lot of sense in itself for Reigns to become an IC Champion and it may have angered a lot of people to see Miz's historic reign ended in such unceremonious fashion, but this was about building for the future more than anything else.

In 10-15 years from now, all of the younger fans who have gravitated to Reigns as their new hero will be telling stories of the man who they saw add the final Championship belt to his collection.
