According to the reports of Dirty Sheets, Randy Orton and Roman Reigns are the duos who currently plays the same role in the WWE. They are everybody’s favorites in the WWE locker room due to their ethics as well as vast experience within the company.

Why Randy Orton & Roman Reigns Are WWE Stars’ Favorite?
Plus, the report also indicated that Randy Orton takes care of each superstar of the locker room like check-in or outs or having meals, etc. Here’s an illustration is given by the source,
“Randy is seen as the locker room leader of the RAW brand. And Randy uses that position to bat for the boys.
This doesn’t necessarily mean he gets involved in creative, but has been known to point out things guys can improve on, in terms of in-ring psychology.
However, what everyone appreciates even more than that, is the weekly battle of Randy vs the office.
If the Hotel sucks, Randy Orton will let them know about it. If there is no food available at midnight when they get back from a show, Randy will make sure EVERYONE gets fed. If they hate the gym at the Hotel, or there isn’t one within walking distance, Randy will organise 10 cars and charge it all to the office. If they have a late call time and an 11 AM Hotel check-out, Randy will insist on late-check out for everyone, so he can stay in his room until 2 PM.
The only thing Randy doesn’t do for the boys, is let anyone sit on his tour bus, as he still can’t get away from his natural desire to be a loner at times.
But other than that, Randy is seen as the go-to guy on RAW and certainly makes it more pleasurable to be on that brand.” (courtesy WWFOldschool)
Apart from Randy Orton, Roman Reigns was also born to be in a locker room leader’s spot in the WWE. He was groomed up by the company officials for a long time and effectively plays the role as WWE depends a lot on him. He too reportedly does a lot for the fellow wrestlers to earn respect.
One instance was mentioned by the source where Roman Reigns demanded a Hotel to open their bar from 1 AM to 3 AM. It happened during their UK tour back in May 2019, so that the wrestlers could eat and drink while watching Jake Hager’s Bellator fight. Such examples are appreciated by the company a lot and now you know why he is often mentioned as the face of the WWE brand.
