Veteran wrestling journalist Bill Apter, one of the panelists for the Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards, has hailed Roman Reigns as The Head of the Table of the Anoa'i family.

The Samoan Dynasty is one of the largest and most prestigious families in professional wrestling history. It's comprised several tag teams and stables within a variety of international promotions. Notable members include WWE Hall of Famers Rikishi and Yokozuna, The Rock, and of course, Roman Reigns.

Speaking to Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda Wrestling during the inaugural Sportskeeda Wrestling awards, Apter stated that The Rock's absence from pro wrestling makes Roman the de facto top guy in the family:

"You know you're talking about The Rock. It's a really tough question because you've got The Rock, you've got The Samoans [The Wild Samoans], you've got Fatu [Jacob Fatu]. I mean, there are so many, I really can't answer that. However, at this time, because of The Rock's inactivity, he [Reigns] is the top guy. He's the head of the table," Bill said. (11:37 to 12:14)
