WWE legend Booker T thinks that Roman Reigns may retain his world title against Drew McIntyre at this weekend's Clash at the Castle.

Reigns has held the WWE Universal title for over two years, having won it at the Payback show on August 30, 2020, by defeating "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman. Reigns and McIntyre last faced each other back in 2020 at the Survivor Series show, where the former defeated the Scotsman.

Booker T said on his Hall of Fame show that it would be great for McIntyre to win the title at Clash at the Castle but feels that Reigns is on another level right now and should retain the title.

“It can happen in Cardiff. I mean, what a story it would be for Drew McIntyre to do it in his own backyard. That would be awesome. I just think right now Roman Reigns is on another level. He’s doing some really, really, really good work. I don't think it’s time for Roman to take a step back and have to rebuild all over again. I think Roman is the strongest character we have on the roster right now," said the Hall of Famer. [H/T WrestlingNews]

Reigns' last loss was against Seth Rollins at Royal Rumble earlier this year, but the title didn't change hands as it was by disqualification.
