Kevin Nash, a Hall of Famer and veteran wrestler, expressed his support for Roman Reigns’ run as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Nash recognizes the significance of Reigns’ upcoming milestone, as he aims to surpass 1,000 days as world champion.

Reigns’ successful run as champion

Roman Reigns’ current reign as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion has been widely acknowledged by fans and industry pundits as one of the most successful runs in recent years. He has been dominant since winning the title at WWE Payback 2020 and has continued to impress with each passing month.

The controversial win over Cody Rhodes

However, Roman Reigns’ win over Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39 was not without controversy. While many fans were happy with Reigns retaining the title, there were some who felt that Rhodes should have won.

Nash’s support for Reigns

Despite the criticism from some fans, Kevin Nash expressed his support for Roman Reigns’ decision to beat Cody Rhodes. He sees the upcoming milestone for Reigns as important for the company and compares it to his own experience as a top guy in wrestling promotion. In Nash’s opinion, it is crucial to put all the eggs in one basket for a successful run by committing to the top guy.

The importance of reaching 1,000 days

Kevin Nash believes that it is critical for the WWE to get Roman Reigns to reach the 1,000-day mark as world champion, given that he is already close to achieving it. He opines that success at the top level impacts the entire company, and with Roman Reigns currently being the top guy and money maker for WWE, this milestone is essential. Nash cites Cal Ripken Jr.’s consecutive games record in baseball as an example of how important milestones can be to a wrestler’s career.

WWE’s missed opportunity with Rhodes

While many fans and pundits were surprised by the decision to have Rhodes lose at WrestleMania 39, Jeff Jarrett thinks that the WWE might have missed the opportunity with Rhodes by not making more of his loss. Road Dogg also believes that it would not have been good for business if Rhodes had won.

Xavier Woods wants a shot at Reigns

Meanwhile, on the other side of the coin, Xavier Woods is eyeing up a shot at Roman Reigns as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Following his win in the King of the Ring tournament and beating former champions such as Finn Balor and Jinder Mahal, Woods believes he deserves a chance to face Reigns again.

The no-contest with Reigns

Xavier Woods had previously faced Roman Reigns in a match on WWE SmackDown in November 2021, which ended in a no-contest due to interference by The Usos. Woods claims to be the first man to break Reigns’ two-year winning streak, but it has not been talked about enough.

Benjamin tells Woods to cease talking about his win over Reigns

Shelton Benjamin appeared on the scene and told Woods to cease and desist talking about his win over Reigns, but Woods said others have told him the same thing. Fans speculate on who could potentially have a feud with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.

All eyes are now on Roman Reigns as he approaches this critical milestone in his career. With support from Kevin Nash and others within the industry, Reigns is well-positioned to continue his world champion reign and remain the top guy for many years to come.
