If we're going based on statistics, of course it's Reigns. In reality, and based on popularity and overall talent, it's Seth.

And statistics are subjective anyway.

I mean, sure Roman has 3 World Title Reigns and Seth only has two. However, Seth was champion for 220 days altogether and Reigns 118. So what's more impressive, the guy who held a belt for 220 days and only lost it because he was injured, or the guy who can't hold it and lost it 3 times while barely having more than half the amount of days of Rollins' first win?

Seth Rollins is the only person to ever hold the WWE and US titles at the same time.

Seth Rollins was the first ever NXT Champion and he held the title for 133 days. Roman Reigns never held it or any title in NXT.

Roman Reigns was 2014 Superstar of the year.... Seth was 2015 Superstar of the Year. Plus a total of 8 other Slammy Awards compared to Roman's 6.

Seth Rollins won the 2014 Money in the Bank Ladder Match.... Reigns...well, you know...

Reigns was a one time tag champion...with Seth Rollins...

Statistically Seth Rollins holds a victory over Brock Lesnar... which since Lesnar's return only John Cena, Goldberg. HHH and the Undertaker can also make that claim.

Was able to rise to the rank of WWE World Champion without having to be the member of a famous wrestling family

Fans like Seth Rollins... oh sorry, that was a cheap shot :)

Honestly, you can find accolades and skew them in any way that makes someone look much better. And then you have to decide what sort of statistics mean more to you. Is it more impressive that Roman has 3 World Titles or that Rollins held his for nearly twice as long? It's all as subjective as simply liking the person or not.

"3 time World Champion"
Okay...I'll give him those...
"Current US champion"
And how many times has he defended that title?
"1 time tag team champion"
With Rollins right?
"2015 Royal Rumble Winner"
Yeah...and didn't that go down well...
"2014 Superstar of the Year (along with 6 other Slammys)"
Okay...Fair call...
"Holds record for most Royal Rumble eliminations (2014)"
Boo! He broke Kane's record! Boos Forever!
"Has headlined back to back Wrestlemanias"
Yeah...he got taken to Suplex City and pinned by Rollins...
And the second one...well...he bored people to death.
"135/153 match wins in 2016 (88.2)"
"187/213 match wins in 2015 (87.8)"

Jesus...Godzilla isn't even booked to look that strong...
"Part of the Samoan Family Dynasty"
And so was Rosey...the S.H.I.T...so that counts for nothing...
or beat Kane's record for most eliminations....
I'll always resent Roman for that...
SHIT IF I WANTED SOMETHING STUCK DOWN NY THROAT I WOULD VISIT A GLORY HOLE
Well...it depends on what side of the wall your on doesn't it?

When The Shield were still together, I always preferred Reigns. Seems like the WWE Universe did, too. (see: Royal Rumble 2014)
Now, the only choice is Seth Rollins despite the current gimmick.

Its amazing to think there was a time when Reigns wasn't booed out of every WWE event.

I take it The Shield were pretty awesome back in the day?

Yeah, they were awesome. Best stable in years.
Did you not see the reaction Reigns got at the 2014 Rumble? Crowd were cheering him a lot, they really wanted him to win.

Which must burn Vince...since that CM Punk guy came up with the idea.
Is that why crowds still chant his name? Because he came up with the Shield?
Last time I read he got choked out like a bitch...so who knows...

Sorry...sidetracked...I don't like CM Punk...

Yeah...I saw/heard it...but I thought that was just because they didn't want
Bautista (Or Boo-tista) to win.

Man...the last 3 Rumbles have been awful really...

Hopefully they get 2017 right...

Each have their merits yet none have been given the correct character development yet. Roman has the star appeal but hasn't been able to really cut loose a great deal yet. Dean is in a weird place where they trust him as the work horse but not the top guy and Seth has the potential to be a big supporting player in a major era but I don't see him as the top guy.

In my opinion for potential it's Reigns, Seth then Dean. For current ability it's Seth, Dean then Roman a fair way back.

Don't think so, they don't change it only when Shield members are around.

A little because of Batista, but mainly because Roman was awesome then. He didn't speak, just destroyed. We loved that.
