Sportskeeda WWE Awards 2017: Babyface of the Year

#2 Roman Reigns

Except for the fact that he missed The Shield's reunion at TLC, it's been Roman Reigns' year. How can it not, when the company's creative plans revolve around the man. Not only is he the reigning Intercontinental Champion, he beat The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33. Let that sink in, folks.

He's one of two men in history to have done so. Moreover, he had the feud of the year with Braun Strowman, featuring some exceptional matches. Considering that rumours are rife that Reigns will beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 34, it seems that 2018 will be just as good for him.

Reigns has grown in confidence and has slowly become a worthy top babyface on RAW. Little wonder then, that John Cena symbolically passed on the torch to Reigns, following their recent match.
