Okay, Roman Reigns does not fit this criteria
A top babyface is not just a professional wrestler, but an all round entertainer. Be it Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior or (especially) The Rock, they’re all right at home on the microphone. Not only does the top babyface have to connect with the audience, but also has to sell tickets with promo skills. Sure, Lex Luger and Roman Reigns were not seasoned in this department, but that could be the reason that (unlike their contemporaries) their runs at the top were cut short. Imagine if your favourite babyface had no microphone skills at all. We’ll leave you with that thought. If you smell what The Rock is cooking!
