Author’s take

Honestly speaking, Reigns is perhaps one of the most underrated performers in the professional wrestling industry today.

Reigns is a true fighter, and despite coming up short against BLesnar at WrestleMania 34, he seems to be highly motivated to win the Universal title at WWE’s Greatest Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
