Paul Heyman Declares Roman Reigns' Current Run As The Best Of All Time

Paul Heyman believes that Roman Reigns' ongoing tenure as the top champion is unparalleled in the annals of professional wrestling. As 'The Wise Man,' Heyman has faithfully stood by Reigns and The Bloodline for nearly three years, cementing his status as an integral part of the 'Tribal Chief's' captivating narrative alongside his family. ## Reigns' current dominance is widely regarded as a historic feat, positioning him as one of the most exceptional world champions to have graced the sport of pro wrestling. During a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Heyman was posed with the question of whether Reigns' ongoing reign stands as the epitome of all-time greatness. ## "Undisputed. Steve Austin didn’t hold the title for 1,000 days. John Cena didn’t hold the title for 1,000 days. The Rock didn’t hold the title for 1,000 days. Come on. ## In this era, with this much pressure, with this level of competition, with a murderers’ row of heavyweights that have come after him? How many title defenses against Brock Lesnar? Defeating John Cena, stacking Edge and Daniel Bryan on top of each other in the main event of WrestleMania, admittedly just getting by Cody Rhodes? Come on. Look at the roster that has been defeated by Roman Reigns. It’s an all-time great, legendary roster." ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

The New Day's Xavier Woods Wants To Celebrate 10th Anniversary With NJPW Match

Xavier Woods, one-third of the legendary New Day, has revealed that he would love to celebrate the group's 10th anniversary with a match in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). ## Speaking on the My Love Letter to Wrestling podcast, Woods said that he would like to spend a week in Tokyo, visiting arcades and competing in NJPW matches. ## "I feel like the ten-year anniversary for New Day, my magic wand wish would be we get to go to Tokyo for a week. Spend time in Tokyo arcades for a full week hanging out," Woods said. "And then, as much as we can get, if we can work at other places now. I'm trying to wrestle everybody." ## When asked who he would like to wrestle from other companies, Woods said that he has a long list of dream opponents. ## "There are so many names on the list. It feels weird to start anywhere because I want to start everywhere. If we could legit branch out and wrestle other teams, obviously, the Young Bucks. We'd love a six-man with the Elite. There are so many people. I can't name them." ## Five years ago, New Day battled The Elite (Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks) in an epic Street Fighter V showdown. The Elite were victorious in the trios arcade action with Omega defeating Woods in the finale. Woods hasn't competed since the May 15 episode of WWE Raw when he lost to Dominik Mysterio. However, he has been active on social media, teasing potential matches with NJPW stars like Will Ospreay and Kota Ibushi. ## It remains to be seen if Woods will get his wish to celebrate the New Day's 10th anniversary with a match in NJPW. However, there is no doubt that he would be a huge asset to the company. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Gunther Vs. Roman Reigns: The Match WWE Fans Have Been Waiting For?

WWE superstars Gunther and Roman Reigns are both in the midst of historic title runs. Roman Reigns has been WWE Universal Champion for over 1,000 days, while Gunther is closing in on breaking the record for the longest WWE Intercontinental Championship reign of all time. ## At the Royal Rumble, Gunther outlasted 28 other men before Cody Rhodes came in at the number 30 position to ultimately go on to WrestleMania and fall short of defeating Roman Reigns. In a new interview with Steve Fall of WrestlingNewsCo, Gunther was asked what would have happened had he been the one to go on to face Roman Reigns. ## "That's a good question. I think that's an interesting one down the line too. I think right now we're very far apart from each other in what we have to do. We're on different brands. Roman is on this never seen before title reign. I myself, I'm in the midst of making history. So once all that is said and done, we'll see if that's gonna happen," said Gunther. ## Gunther's comments suggest that he is open to a match with Roman Reigns in the future, but that it is not something that can happen right now. Both men are too busy with their respective title runs, and they are also on different brands. However, if both men continue their current trajectories, a match between them could be one of the most anticipated matches in WWE history. ## In the meantime, Gunther is focused on breaking the record for the longest WWE Intercontinental Championship reign of all time. He is currently in third place, behind Chris Jericho and The Honky Tonk Man. If he can break the record, it would be a major accomplishment for Gunther and would cement his status as one of the top stars in WWE. ## Elsewhere in the interview, Gunther explained why he isn't interested in a match with Seth Rollins where both the Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Championship belts would be on the line. ## Gunther said that he is not interested in a "gimmick match" and that he would rather focus on defending the Intercontinental Championship. He also said that he believes that the Intercontinental Championship is a prestigious title and that he wants to uphold its legacy. ## Gunther's comments suggest that he is a true professional who is committed to his craft. He is not interested in chasing headlines or taking shortcuts. He is only interested in competing at the highest level and proving himself to be one of the best in the world. ## It will be interesting to see how Gunther's career progresses in the years to come. He has all the tools to be a major star in WWE, and he is already proving himself to be one of the most dominant forces in the company. If he can continue his current trajectory, he will be a main event player for years to come. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Seth Rollins Takes World Heavyweight Championship To NXT In Bid To Put Eyes On Brand

Two-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins is set to defend his title against Bron Breakker on NXT next week. The match was made official after Breakker challenged Rollins on the June 6 episode of NXT. ## Rollins is no stranger to NXT, having wrestled on the brand several times in the past. He even won the NXT Championship in 2013. However, this will be his first time defending a world title on NXT. ## Rollins is excited about the opportunity to defend his title on NXT. He believes that it will help to put more eyes on the brand and give Breakker a chance to show the world what he is capable of. ## "Taking it down Florida and NXT I think makes it special," Rollins said in an interview with the New York Post. "You just don't see that very often. The last time I had a match on NXT was, God, over a decade ago. Getting an opportunity to go down there to the place I really cut my teeth in WWE and bring a brand new world title there and defend it against someone like Bron Breakker, I think it's gonna put more eyes on NXT, I hope, and bring some attention there." ## Breakker is a rising star in WWE and is seen as one of the future main eventers of the company. He is a former NXT Champion and has impressed fans with his in-ring skills and charisma. ## Rollins believes that Breakker is ready to make the jump to the main roster, but he wants to give him one more test on NXT first. ## "There is nothing you can do down there that's gonna prepare you for the experience of being on the road with WWE full-time," Rollins said. "It's just a different animal. From everything I've seen performance-wise, Bron's as ready as he's gonna get. And his time will come. Everybody's time will come. I was as anxious as anybody when I was down there in NXT. I told Bron this on Tuesday, I've been in your shoes. You want to make noise. You want to be the guy and I like that. We need that passion and we need that hunger to continue to push the business forward. I'm excited to go and give him the test of his life and see what he throws back at me. I'm excited to see how ready he really is." ## The match between Rollins and Breakker is sure to be a must-see for fans of both NXT and WWE. It will be interesting to see if Breakker can prove that he is ready for the main roster and if Rollins can retain his World Heavyweight Championship. ## The match will take place on Tuesday, June 21 at 8pm ET on the USA Network. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
