WWE has a plethora of top stars at the moment, but no one is as prominent as Roman Reigns. The Tribal Chief recently received some significant praise from Kenny Omega, who believes fans would be pleasantly surprised by how a dream match between the AEW and WWE star might play out.

Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter was least surprised by Omega's comments on Reigns and compared the Tribal Chief to Triple H.

While speaking on this week's episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Top Story, Apter explained that Reigns had all the essential qualities of an old-school performer. Unlike many other stars, he has found a way to stay relevant in the modern era. Apter also mentioned the importance of being part of the Samoan wrestling dynasty.

Here's how Bill aptly described Roman Reigns' exceptional work:

"How can you not acknowledge the man? He has held his championship so much. He came up the old-school way, being trained by the Samoan Family. He is an old-school type of wrestler in a new world, which I used to say about Triple H. He handles it perfectly." [3:20 – 3:50]

Omega stated that Roman Reigns was WWE's top guy for a reason, and he commended Roman's incredible work ethic. The Cleaner also added that a showdown between him and Reigns would startle a lot of detractors:

"@JakeBur99747047 @WrestlinAspect I'm sure he could. He's their top guy for a reason and works hard to be that guy. I think the match would surprise a lot of people," Kenny Omega tweeted.
