Why would a quintessential heel like Rude be face in the kayfabe era?
Don't think I was gonna let this go, Red Side..

Reigns is top 5 right now without doubt
He's not even top 5 on Raw.
Who's better on Raw?

There's a reason they call him Roman Workrate Reigns.

Reigns is a top tier worker in the sense he always puts on entertaining matches
Wouldn't put him above cesaro tho

Oh cool, personally I'd put him above Sheamus, Strowman and Joe for now plus don't really watch the cruiserweights but respect your opinion.
Roman. Over Joe. As in Samoa Joe?
HAHAHAHAhaha nah. Not ever. Joe has pulled watchable matches out post-chest-tattoo Steiner. Roman has managed to drag a nearly mediocre match out of Daniel Bryan.
Putting my bias aside - because I wouldn't personally put Roman over Bazooka Joe, nevermind Samoa Joe - There's something to be said about Roman being top 10 on RAW currently. But that's because the position he's in doesn't have him working with 'lesser' talents. He's put with people who can carry him, not people he has to carry. So he has matches that aren't terrible because his opponents aren't. (That being said, it isn't like Randy Orton is lighting the world on fire in the same position for much longer, so I give Roman credit there.)
That being said, he ain't half the wrestler Cesaro or Joe are, and never will be. Because that isn't what he wants to be, or is expected to be. He'll be a sports entertainer in this company for a long time, and have variations of the same match he's having now five years from now, because wrestling =/= sports entertainment. Maybe one day Roman will find himself watching some World of Sport or something and decide to get his Cena on and try and become a wrestler after the fact, but for our sake, I hope not. Ain't trying to see him attempting no Malenko shyt.
*I do, however, damn sure want to see Braun steal Ricochet's rolling vertical suplex spot. He got the strength to do that shyt on dudes at least Cena's size. Turn the second into a catch powerslam, use that as his big match finisher like the jumping tombstone.*

I don't understand how people call Roman a great worker when there's not one single match that stands out where he didn't wrestle good/great workers.
The Brock match could get a pass, but it's not the hype people on here make it out to be.
He's solid/decent at best.

Honestly though, people are overanalyzing this. He is consistently having good to great matches. Isn't that what counts? Even Dave "Japanese wrestling fetish" Meltzer typically rates his matches highly.
You can't tell me he's getting carried by Braun / Big Show in those matches
