As WrestleMania 40 approaches, the WWE Universe is abuzz with anticipation for potential dream matches. Among the most highly anticipated showdowns is the inevitable clash between Roman Reigns and The Rock, two powerhouse figures in WWE’s storied history.
While their collaboration as allies has captured attention, fans are eagerly awaiting the moment when these “bloodline” brothers inevitably face off in the ring. But before that epic encounter unfolds, there are several other dream matches that fans would love to see Roman Reigns engage in.
From revisiting past rivalries to facing off against new challengers, here are the top five opponents for Roman Reigns that could make for unforgettable encounters before he squares off against The Rock.
5. AJ Styles
The rivalry between AJ Styles and Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in 2016 is etched in the memories of fans. Their two epic clashes for the top prize left audiences craving more. Despite their careers taking different paths since then, both Reigns and Styles remain elite competitors and main event attractions.
A rematch between The Tribal Chief and The Phenomenal One would undoubtedly be a must-see event, showcasing their evolution as performers and reigniting the magic of their previous encounters.
4. Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre is widely regarded as the man destined to challenge Roman Reigns for his title. While their matchup has yet to materialize, anticipation runs high for this dream bout. Their previous encounters, including a Champion vs. Champion clash at Survivor Series 2020, have only whetted fans’ appetites for more. With McIntyre emerging as a credible challenger to Reigns’ throne, a showdown between these two titans promises to be a highlight of any WWE event.
3. Triple H
The history between Triple H and Roman Reigns dates back to The Shield’s rivalry with Evolution in 2014. Reigns famously defeated Triple H in the main event of WrestleMania XXXII, marking a pivotal moment in his career. Now retired from in-ring competition, Triple H’s return for a dream match against The Tribal Chief would be a tantalizing prospect, especially given the recent resurgence of the Samoan dynasty in WWE.
2. Seth Rollins
The dissolution of The Shield in 2014 created a rift between Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns that has simmered for years. Rollins’ betrayal and subsequent cash-in of his Money In The Bank contract at WrestleMania XXXI cost Reigns the World Championship, fueling their animosity. A long-awaited showdown between these former allies turned bitter rivals would be a testament to their shared history and the unresolved tension between them.
1. CM Punk
At the forefront of dream matches for Roman Reigns is a potential clash with CM Punk. Reigns’ nearly 1,200-day reign as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion has solidified his status as a dominant force in WWE. Their paths first crossed at the 2012 Survivor Series when Reigns made his main roster debut alongside Rollins and Ambrose, assisting Punk in retaining his title.
Now, with Reigns holding the gold, a showdown with Punk has the makings of a monumental WrestleMania main event, with the potential to captivate audiences worldwide.
