What does the future hold for the WWE Champion?
As Monday Night Raw edges
closer, Roman Reigns will face Sheamus for the WWE Championship with Mr.
Mcmahon as the special referee who will do everything within his power to
prevent Roman Reigns from walking out the WWE Champion. Despite the odds being
stacked against Reigns, we can safely believe that Reigns will be walking away
as the champion and will retain the title at the Royal Rumble. WWE has finally
booked Reigns as the badass he should be and they will surely not undue all
their hardwork to get him over as they have succeeded in their goal to place
Reigns at the top of the WWE mountain. So this raises the question is how do
you cement Reigns as a believable and credible champion and today I will try to
answer that question by suggesting opponents for Reigns.
Triple H
The most logical opponent
for Roman Reigns would be Triple H. After injuring Triple H at the TLC ppv, it
would be no surprise that he would be hell bent on revenge against the man who
injured him. In my opinion, the two should collide at Royal Rumble as it would start
off Reigns' championship reign with a hot angle and it would do no harm for his
career if he pinned Triple H in his first title defense. Triple H for all the
negative things that are said about him, is a great worker and a fantastic heel
who the fans love to hate. He could be the catalyst in a long reign of
dominance by our new WWE champion. However, my one fear is that ego could rear
its ugly head and this match will be saved for Wrestlemania. I think it would
be a step backwards for WWE to have Triple H in the main event of Wrestlemania
in 2015 but we know
Triple H and if he wants
that main event spot, there is a very good chance he will get that spot.
John Cena
At Wrestlemania WWE has the
opportunity to pass the torch onto the next generation and this is the perfect
opportunity. John Cena is the WWE(I know you hate to hear it but it is true) he
is the franchise, he is the man and a wise man once said "to be the man,
you got to beat the man". WWE could really make Roman Reigns if he defeats
John Cena clean in the middle of the ring at their biggest show of the year.
New Japan is holding their annual Tokyo Dome show today with the main event
being the veteran Hiroshi Tanahashi facing the rising star Kazuchika Okada.
Okada has risen his stock significantly over the last three years and Tanahashi
is often regarded as the John Cena of New Japan. In the dome at Wrestle Kingdom
10 today, Tanahashi will bow out as the top star of New Japan by passing the
torch to Okada by putting him over and I think WWE should copy New Japan's
approach by making Roman Reigns defeat Mr. WWE, John Cena.
Dean Ambrose
After Wrestlemania and
conquering John Cena, the success could go to Roman Reigns' head. He has
defeated the very best of WWE and come out unscathed, there is a new sheriff in
town and his name is Roman Reigns. This change in attitude could lead to a
confrontation between the two best friends which could lead to an interesting
series of pay per view matches. Many feel Reigns as a heel could be more of a
draw than Reigns as a face and after Wrestlemania could be the perfect
time for Reigns to turn on his old Shield buddy, Dean Ambrose. However, WWE
does not have to turn Roman heel to start a feud, they could simply do a
champion vs champion match. It is clear to see that Reigns looks so much more
comfortable when he is working with Dean Ambrose and Dean could bring out the
best in Reigns and show what a credible heel he could be if allowed to develop
organically. Perhaps Roman could end this feud by dropping the title to Ambrose
but that would truly depend on how Ambrose is booked during the period between
Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania. I have a little faith in WWE so I don't expect
this to happen but a fan can dream....
Seth Rollins
From one former Shield
member to another, the former WWE Champion who never lost his WWE championship,
Seth Rollins could come back as the ultimate babyface to finally defeat the
unstoppable heel monster which Reigns has become since winning the WWE championship.
In a cool reversal of the roles from the year prior, we would now see Rollins
chased after Reigns for the championship. Rollins is a fantastic performer, he
was on fire in the ppvs matches he had before his injury at a Dublin House
show(Which my brother attended!), Rollins could make the ultimate comeback and
defeat Reigns at Summerslam next year and everyone could better from the
situation. Dean Ambrose could become a bigger star in defeat to Reigns as the
wrestler who just simply wouldn't stay down, Ambrose's star could shine
brighter as the ultimate underdog against Reigns. Reigns could become a great
WWE champion and prove all of his detractors wrong by proving a great face
champion by defeating Triple H and John Cena while also showing off personality
as a heel who runs through everything placed in front of him. And to end Reigns
championship run, he could put over a returning Seth Rollins who will be
massively over with the crowd and WWE would be looking very strong in terms of
storylines and booking in the latter stages in 2016.
That
concludes my fantasy booking session on what WWE should do with Roman Reigns, I
hoped you enjoyed the read and just remember that I did leave out some top
stars that could further Reigns as the top guy. The likes of Brock Lesnar and
Daniel Bryan could also help Reigns be cemented as the top guy and the new face
of the WWE. In the weeks ahead, we will see what direction WWE is heading in
for 2016 and what is in store for our current WWE Champion
