WWE Legends crown Roman Reigns as new Mr. WrestleMania
WWE Hall of Famers JBL and Gerald Brisco name Roman Reigns as the new Mr. WrestleMania, while analyst predicts potential WrestleMania 41 clash with Jacob Fatu.
JBL and Gerald Brisco have declared Roman Reigns as the modern-day Mr. WrestleMania, a title historically associated with Shawn Michaels. The Hall of Famers shared their views during a Live Q&A on Backstage Pass.
JBL pointed to Reigns’ record-setting WrestleMania main event appearances and sustained popularity. “He’s headlined more WrestleManias than anybody in history. He still is as hot now as he’s ever been,” JBL said, highlighting Reigns’ ability to generate interest through simple storytelling.
Brisco acknowledged Reigns’ accomplishments while praising Cody Rhodes’ contribution to their rivalry. “Roman couldn’t deal with a nemesis like Cody. I’m really proud of Cody. He’s the one that stuck with it, and broke out into his own,” Brisco said.
Jacob Fatu emerges as potential WrestleMania 41 opponent
The prediction follows speculation about Paul Heyman’s loyalty after his return to SmackDown wearing attire similar to Solo Sikoa’s.
Roberts proposed on his Notsam Wrestling podcast that Heyman’s potential betrayal could trigger a series of high-stakes matches. “If Paul Heyman were to align with the new Bloodline, a Solo Sikoa versus Roman Reigns match could headline a Royal Rumble,” Roberts said, setting up a potential Fatu-Reigns showdown at WrestleMania.
