Roman Reigns continues to reign in the World Wrestling Entertainment. One consistent trend that has been noticeable in recent years is that he has been collecting all the significant awards in the wrestling world. Now, Reigns' lording has reached into the world of video gaming, as he has been given the overall highest rating in "WWE 2K18."

In a list released by TrustedReviews, it's no surprise that Reigns is the video game's highest-rated wrestling superstar. His spectacular rise in the wrestling world and most recent defeat of John Cena at the WWE's "No Mercy" event has helped Reigns attain the highest rating of 95.

Over the past couple of years, Reigns has managed to beat just about every famous wrestler on the WWE's active roster. He has also been featured front-and-center in the last three "WrestleManias." Reigns has clearly been fashioned to be the top guy in real life by the WWE, and its video game iteration may just be mirroring that.

The wrestling superstar finishes well ahead of the other wrestlers included in the video game, as no one came close to getting a 94 rating. John Cena comes in at an overall mark of 93 along with Brock Lesnar. The current WWE Universal Champion is said to face Reigns in the upcoming "WrestleMania 34."

To some people's surprise, "Demon" Finn Balor got an overall rating of 92, the same rating as Reigns' former Shield member Seth Rollins.

On the other hand, U.S. Champion AJ Styles is rated 90. His score is one point lower than Smackdown General Manager Daniel Bryan who got a score of 91.

The reigning WWE champion Jinder Mahal is rated 88 along with The Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman.

In other news, there will also be some downloadable content (DLC) characters that will be introduced to "WWE 2K18" in the near future but it is doubtful if any of them will come close to Reigns' overall ranking.

"WWE 2K18" is set to be launched on Oct. 17 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. A Nintendo Switch version of the game is also set to be released this fall.
