Triple H says Roman Reigns is one of the best in WWE 'on every level'
Friday 8 December 2017 10:09, UK
Triple H has issued a glowing endorsement of Roman Reigns and believes he is one of WWE's top performers in every department.
The 14-time world champion stood in for Reigns alongside Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in a variation of The Shield on the company's recent European tour.
Triple H acknowledged that Reigns has been criticised as a result of a perception among some fans that he is "the chosen one" among WWE management.
This week, Reigns accepted he will always be booed by some sections of the crowd and that he welcomes that response because it means he is generating interest from the spectators.

But Triple H believes he is qualified to make a proper assessment of Reigns, and his verdict is that the 32-year-old is fully deserving of his place in WWE's top tier.
"I think he is one of the best that the WWE have right now," he told The National newspaper.
"Roman is in an unique position because the fan base tends to believe that he is this chosen one that the WWE wants in this position so they choose not to accept that position.
"But the truth is, and some people will listen to this and want to argue against it, but honestly most of the people who argue against it aren't qualified to make that argument. I am. Roman is one of the most skilled performers bar none in the WWE right now and that is on every level.
"It is funny that Roman goes to the ring every night and there is a decision being made whether they want to boo him or cheer him depending on where you are and depends what is done.
"But usually by the end of the night, because he works so hard and he is so good at what he does that he wins them over.
"That has been the trend recently, as you saw with John Cena, as you see with others. He is a skilled guy in the ring, no matter how you break it down. I would consider him to be one of the very best in the WWE today."
