WWE has often had a face of the company over the years, whether it be Hulk Hogan, The Rock or John Cena.

Today's top star is Roman Reigns, the Head Of The Table and Universal Champion. Reigns has ambitions to one day move on to Hollywood, though, but The Big Dog doesn't believe there is anybody he can pass the torch on to in WWE.

"Ain't nobody. I can say my favourite number two, Drew [McIntyre]. There are a bunch of number twos, threes, whatever you want to call them. We can rank them, but they are under me. How far under? Who knows, who cares. How strong of a number two do you want to be? At this point, my favourite is Drew McIntyre," Reigns said on Cheap Heat.

"In a perfect world, if there is an opportunity to pass the torch to him, he's the one guy that has captivated my attention in that manner, but he ain't there. It's only because I'm still here and so solid within my stronghold. The flag is fully planted in and I can't even think about [who is next]. John [Cena] needed someone to come in so he could move on and try new things. I will eventually need that, but there is nobody at this point."

Reigns looks set to remain WWE's top star for the foreseeable future and he may well cement that position at SummerSlam. WWE is looking to make the August 21 pay-per-view this year's WrestleMania in terms of grandeur and the company wants Reigns vs. John Cena to be the main event.
