Since Roman Reigns' return to WWE after battling Leukemia, he has been nowhere near a WWE title and that should come as a surprise to many WWE fans all over the world. Vince McMahon has kept his bona fide golden boy out of the title picture and by the looks of it, that will not change anytime soon.

He recently suffered a loss against Shane McMahon at WWE Super Showdown in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He seems to be involved in a feud which is somewhat similar to the Authority angle which culminated in a WrestleMania match against Triple H. Shane, the heel, alongside his bodyguard Drew McIntyre, is keen on destroying Roman.

At WWE Stomping Grounds, Drew will face Roman and this feud might continue for some time. It could be because Vince wants to patiently make the Big Dog a top face; but so far, there have been mixed results.

Roman is going to win a WWE title again, but the question is how and when? So, in this slideshow, we take a look at the 5 ways how Vince McMahon could get Roman in the title picture -


#3 Turning heel on Seth Rollins

This is very speculative, but something that could happen. Vince has always had some surprises up his sleeve and this could be another one - turning Roman heel on his buddy and the current Universal Champion, Seth Rollins.

Not only would this put the Big Dog directly into the Universal title picture, but also set up Seth as the biggest face of the company, something he is destined to be. Also, over the years, Roman has never been accepted as a face by the WWE Universe and it's time Vince decided to make a little character change for the Big Dog.

#2 A feud with AJ Styles to become the number 1 contender for the Universal Championship

Currently, Roman has his eyes set on beating the Scottish Psychopath at WWE Stomping Grounds; when he is done with that, a feud with AJ Styles should be on the line for the Big Dog. Most of the WWE Universe is already tired of the bland feuds that Roman has been involved in since his switch to SmackDown Live.

While AJ Styles has been in the Universal Championship picture since his Raw arrival, an injury has sidelined him for the time being. Still, the Phenomenal One will definitely come for that title, but things could be spiced up if Roman stands in his path. After Seth is done with Baron Corbin, a match between AJ and Roman could be set up to decide the number 1 contender for the Architect.

#1 By winning the Royal Rumble 2020

Out of all the scenarios mentioned in this slideshow, this one seems to be the most likely. It's just a matter of time before Roman Reigns becomes champion again. That is why a Royal Rumble win could be in the works for the Big Dog.

This scenario seems more likely now as recently, Mr. Money in the Bank Brock Lesnar failed to cash in his contract on Seth at WWE Super Showdown - that could mean he is going to cash in on the WWE Champion, Kofi Kingston.

With FOX soon to be the new home to SmackDown, they would want the company's biggest draws pitted against each other at the Show of Shows, that is WrestleMania 36. So, if Brock wins the WWE Championship, there is a huge chance that Roman could win the Royal Rumble 2020 and set up a match against his arch-rival on the grandest stage of professional wrestling.
