WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns has been on a record-breaking run. He has been a champion for 729 days, with his reign starting way back in August 2020.

Moreover, Drew McIntyre, the former WWE Champion, has emerged as the next challenger to Reigns, and the two will face off at Clash at the Castle event in Cardiff on September 4.


McIntyre and Reigns have wrestled each other in the past, most notably when the two met at Survivor Series 2020 as world champions of RAW and SmackDown, respectively.

However, this time, the anticipation is at an all-time high as people genuinely believe that someone other than Brock Lesnar could end Reigns’ historic run. Whatever the result is this Saturday, both these superstars are on another level and deserve all the surrounding hype.

Former NXT UK wrestler Rohan Raja spoke exclusively with EssentiallySports about both the men involved in Saturday’s big match and shared his opinion of the two.

Speaking about McIntyre, he said, “he’s one of the most nicest and humble guys you’ll ever meet. So I’ve met him twice with Jinder. And I remember when we were training together in Toronto. So I was training with them and he spoke to me, he didn’t like, we didn’t know each other very well. But the way he was to me and the advice he gave me like, he didn’t really need to do that. Like, he just got off a flight. He was trying to train and he was investing so much of himself in me, but, he’s such a humble guy. And he’s a great, great, great worker”.

Roman Reigns Breaks Character to Take a Massive Shot at The Rock

In the same interview, Raja praised Reigns, subtly ‘acknowledging’ the Tribal Chief. He said, “he’s, right now, like I always say, Randy Orton is still pound for pound the best. But with Randy Orton like, just, you know, taking a little bit of a break, Roman is the best in all of professional wrestling right now. It’s that no one no one can touch him. He’s at his peak”.

The words of the former Impact Wrestling X-Division champion prove why they are WWE’s two of the biggest stars.

It will also be interesting to see where Rohan Raja goes next after WWE closed the NXT UK brand and released a lot of talents. With his wrestling background, we can assume that Raja will find a new home soon.
