Triple H: Roman Reigns Transcends The World Title And Royal Rumble. Does He Need To Qualify Or Can He Call His Shot?

Roman Reigns has made it no secret that he is coming after the title, though it’s unclear if he’s looking at the Undisputed WWE Title held by Cody Rhodes or the WWE World Heavyweight Title held by CM Punk.

Speaking at the Survivor Series post-show, Triple H was asked about Roman feeling larger than life when he made his entrance for Survivor Series.

“He’s almost transcended to a point in the business where he’s bigger than the championship. He’s bigger than being a world champion. He is just a legend unto himself. I used to think that about Taker all the time. He just transcended the business in a way that you didn’t even need to talk about him in the title picture because he was epically in that circle. That is where Roman Reigns is right now. There is an aura about him and just something different,” said Triple H.

At the end of the show, Roman told Cody Rhodes that WarGames would be the last time they team together.

Asked if that was a little bit of a teaser for the future and WrestleMania, Triple H replied, “When you have a star the size of Roman Reigns, he transcends the world title, he transcends the Royal Rumble, he transcends the Elimination Chamber. Does he really need to qualify or does he just call his shot? That’s a decision that we here in the WWE need to make very shortly. I have a feeling that one of those two guys, CM Punk or Cody Rhodes, is on a collision course with Roman Reigns. It’s going to be interesting to see where that goes.”

Reigns, Rhodes, CM Punk, and the Usos (Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso) lost the men’s WarGames match to Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed.
