Acknowledged: Update On WWE’s Future Plans For Roman Reigns

Like it could be anyone else. There are certain WWE wrestlers who are able to reach heights that few others can achieve. These wrestlers become the faces of the company and that makes them some of the true legends of WWE. You don’t see very many of them, but we are seeing one of them today. Therefore, it should be no surprise when he gets to headline a show and that is likely to be the event again soon.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Roman Reigns is still expected to headline WrestleMania Backlash, despite not yet having a program for the May 8 event. Reigns, the reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, will likely get a new opponent this week on SmackDown. Shinsuke Nakamura confronted him two weeks ago on the show but there was no follow up last week.

Opinion: This isn’t the biggest surprise but it would be nice to think that WWE would pick up the pace a bit with setting up the story. It is going to take someone special to present a real challenge to Reigns and that is going to require some build up. I can’t imagine WWE hasn’t figured out who the challenger will be yet, but they might want to get on letting the rest of us know who it is going to be.

Who do you think the challenger will be? Who do you want it to be? Let us know in the comments below.
