Roman Reigns is literally living his ‘Head of the Table’ gimmick. Whatever Roman Reigns wants, he gets. And that includes the challengers for his Universal Championship. In a shocking turn of events on SmackDown this week, Reigns and Uso helped Adam Pearce become the new #1 contender.

The victory didn’t really come the way anyone would’ve wanted, but it’s still a victory. Roman made Adam Pearce win because he wants to make him suffer for his mistake, but will this prove to be costly for Reigns instead?

First, Adam Pearce is no rookie inside the ring; he is a 20-year veteran of the professional wrestling business. Adam Pearce is a former 5-time NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion, a title held by some of pro wrestling’s greatest names including Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Ricky Steamboat, and Sting.

Adam Pearce won several independent championships and 8 major championships in his 20-year pro wrestling career. Yes, it’s been six years since he retired from pro wrestling, but WWE lives and dies by never say never!
