Roman Reigns vs LA Knight took place at WWE Crown Jewel and this was the 29th title defense in his 1162+ Days title reign. It was a great match as LA Knight had a real opportunity to win the Championship and Roman Reigns knew that he was in a fight. The crowd in Saudi Arabia was firmly in the corner of LA Knight. Roman Reigns was never going to lose this match because the only stage that he will most likely lose his historic championship will be at a WrestleMania. After this match the question is who should be the next challenger to Roman Reigns.
Let’s take a look at the WWE superstars that can challenge Roman Reigns next
1) AJ Styles
This is a name that makes the most sense because AJ Styles is one of the best wrestlers of all time and it has been a long time that he and Roman Reigns have had a match for the WWE championship. Roman Reigns is looking for new challengers and he will not have that many Matches till WrestleMania 40 so therefore all the list of challengers need to be top tier. AJ Styles will be a great challenger and they will have one of the best matches of this title Reign. It will most likely happen at Survivor Series or Royal Rumble.
2) Jimmy Uso
Jimmy Uso is an interesting character that Is he was out of The Bloodline by his choice with his brother Jey Uso and yet within a few months time he was back in The Bloodline. This did not make any sense at first but as the weeks are rolling on , he has become the best and the funniest part of The Bloodline. He has been helping Roman Reigns and he is letting Roman Reigns think he is a fool but in fact he is waiting for his time to strike so that he can get a match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. And he should challenge Roman Reigns in a match so that he can become main event Jimmy Uso.
3) Solo Sikoa
WWE Crown Jewel was a big night for Solo Sikoa as he beat John Cena easily and in dominating fashion. It was expected that John Cena would win this match because he had been saying that it has been 5 years since he last won a WWE singles match but it looked like he was on his last legs. Solo Sikoa hit him with multiple Samoan Spikes and he won the match. After this Solo Sikoa has become a big star and he should also have a match against Roman Reigns. He has been a loyal man to Roman Reigns. He should turn on him and then cash in his opportunity.
4) Cody Rhodes
The fourth and obvious one is Cody Rhodes and he will be the one that will finally dethrone Roman Reigns. He will be the one who will face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 once again in the main event. Cody Rhodes has always been the one the fans have wanted to beat Roman Reigns and he has been the face of WWE for the past 2 years. After Roman Reigns faces the other names in this list, finally Cody Rhodes will finish his story and ascend to the top of WWE. This has been the defining championship reign of our time but the time will come at WrestleMania 40 for it to and.
