So, here are the five top WWE superstars who could confront The OTC at the show:

5. Penta

Penta displayed the heart of a champion at WrestleMania 42 when he outlasted five other competitors in a ladder match to retain his WWE Intercontinental title. With a huge win on The Grandest Stage of Them All, he could aim to ascend to the next level by stepping out to Roman Reigns as his next challenger.

4. Jey Uso

With Roman Reigns putting CM Punk in his rear view, he might have The Usos to thank somewhat, due to standing by his side on the road to WrestleMania 42. This could see Jey Uso step back into the World title picture and emerge as a surprise challenger to The OTC.

3. Bron Breakker

Bron Breakker made a surprise return at WrestleMania 42 and attacked his arch-nemises Seth Rollins. He could lay out Rollins on the RAW after WrestleMania and then step up to Roman Reigns towards the end of the show to challenge him for his newly won World title.

2. Gunther

Seth Rollins getting attacked by Bron Breakker led to Gunther taking advantage and making him submit at WrestleMania 42. After defeating a top star like The Visionary, The Ring General could continue his momentum by stepping up to Roman Reigns to signal his intentions at winning back the World Championship on the RAW after Mania.

1. Oba Femi

Oba Femi had one of the greatest nights of his WWE career when he slayed The Beast, Brock Lesnar, at WrestleMania 42. Moreover, after defeating Lesnar, Femi called out Roman Reigns on the post-show.

He could follow it up with a confrontation with the Tribal Chief on the RAW after WrestleMania and become the first challenger to his World Heavyweight Championship.
