Backstage News On Which WWE Star Vince McMahon Sees As “The Guy”

There are plenty of spots on the WWE main roster, but it seems that only one WWE Superstar can be “the guy” in the eyes of Vince McMahon. In the past stars such as Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, The Rock and John Cena have carried the company, and over the last few years Roman Reigns has been placed in the top spot.

It’s no big secret that the fans haven’t exactly accepted Roman Reigns as the face of the company, and it’s also no big secret that the fans are fully behind Braun Strowman.

Strowman has also been receiving a healthy push as of late, but it doesn’t sound like Vince McMahon is ready to make the Monster Among Men “the guy” in WWE.

Brad Shepard recently discussed Braun’s status on the Backstage in WWE podcast, and he noted that even though Vince is high on Strowman, Roman Reigns is still viewed as the top star.

“People were wondering, ‘is Roman Reigns still the guy in the eyes of WWE and Vince McMahon?’ Of course, Vince is very high on Braun and I was told Vince has taken a personal interest in Braun’s success. But as for who ‘the guy’ is there’s been no indication internally that it’s no longer Roman Reigns,” Shepard said via Ringside News.

Therefore, fans who are hoping to see the focus shift from Roman to Braun might want to keep their expectations in check, as they’re likely to be disappointed.
