Roman Reigns is a WWE Superstar that has no time for no sense. He is the real deal and was on a determined path to claim the WWE Title after Seth Rollins crushed his dreams with the Heist of the Century.
However, Reigns fought through, but had one major roadblock in his way – The Authority. The Authority, headed by Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and Vince McMahon, was a notorious faction that played favouritism with their wrestlers.
