Who are the Cena, Orton and Batista of today's era?

1- Roman Reigns (this one is unarguable).

2- Seth Rollins (although deserves a longer and a consistent run in the main-event, but pretty much has been part of some incredible stuff since his singles run from 2014).

3- Really debatable because there is no obvious pick, but I will just choose one after narrowing the list. Was supposed to be Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley), but he left in 2017. Could have been Bray Wyatt after WWE gave him a strong start, but he too left in 2017. There is no clear answer here, but I will pick Drew McIntyre (although he too deserves a longer and a consistent run in the main-event).

Even Rollins is debatable tbh.

I had high hopes for him but he did not work out too well as a face.

Reigns has had the spotlight for years so that pushed anyone else on the level below.

A bit like how Macho Man was, unfortunately, in Hogan’s shadow as far as booking goes.

Batista's spot as the third man of the Cena era is debatable. Undertaker and HHH were still going. CM Punk and D-BRy were probably more over than Dave ever was. Batista seems to retroactively be better remembered due to him hitting it big in Hollywood. Sure he won the title and headlined a few PPVs, but so did guys like Jinder Mahal, Psycho Sid, Diesel.

Definitely Reigns. They basically made him regurgitate Cena promos his first few years at the top.

Rollins is probably Orton. A guy with serious name value and an occasional world champion. Spends 99% of his time in the upper midcard.

I missed 90% of Batista's WWE run. Maybe Lashley?

Romans Reigns is as gay as John Cena, if not gayer.
