Triple H claims Roman Reigns is ‘bigger’ than a championship

Triple H has nothing but praise for former WWE Champion Roman Reigns.

Despite suffering a loss at the men’s WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series, Roman Reigns finished the night under the spotlight when he shared a staredown with both CM Punk and Cody Rhodes. Shortly after, WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Triple H, heaped praise on Reigns and continued it by calling him ‘bigger’ than a championship.

“He’s almost transcended to a point in the business where he’s bigger than the championship,” Triple H claimed. “He’s bigger than being a world champion. He is just a legend unto himself. I used to think that about Taker all the time. He just transcended the business in a way that you didn’t even need to talk about him in the title picture because he was epically in that circle. That is where Roman Reigns is right now. There is an aura about him and just something different.”

The final moments of the PLE saw Reigns exchange intense words with his teammate Cody Rhodes, declaring that the event marked the last time they would ever team together. When Triple H was later asked at the Survivor Series post-show if it was a teaser for WrestleMania 42, he said,

“When you have a star the size of Roman Reigns, he transcends the world title, he transcends the Royal Rumble, he transcends the Elimination Chamber. Does he really need to qualify or does he just call his shot? That’s a decision that we here in the WWE need to make very shortly. I have a feeling that one of those two guys, CM Punk or Cody Rhodes, is on a collision course with Roman Reigns. It’s going to be interesting to see where that goes.”

In the main event of the night, the team of CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Roman Reigns lost to The Vision (Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed), Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, and Brock Lesnar.
