5 future WrestleMania opponents for Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns may not quite be the face of WWE as many of us had probably been predicting he would be, and there are many reasons why that's the case.

Above all else, the fans just don't seem to have gravitated towards The Big Dog in the kind of way that you'd expect. He's still a fantastic performer and someone that should be universally praised for his abilities in the ring, but there's still work to be done.

Today, we're going to list a few potential WrestleMania opponents for Reigns over the course of the next five or six years. The reason we're doing this is because we all know the Goldberg bout at WrestleMania 36 will be polarizing, but beyond that, there's no reason why he can't start hitting great matches out of the park at The Showcase of the Immortals.

His track record at the show of shows hasn't been wonderful so far, and he deserves to see that change.

The Rock

Cousin vs Cousin

Los Angeles. WrestleMania 37.

It's the perfect place for Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, to finally say goodbye to his iconic wrestling career. Some think his second clash with John Cena back at WrestleMania 29 was a good enough send-off, but with his cousin Roman Reigns being active and in the prime of his career, this just feels like the right way to go.

These two men know how to tell a story, and you can bet they would put everything they've got into making sure The Great One's final bow will be one to remember.

If there's anyone that can bring the monster out of Roman, it's The Rock, and we can't wait to see it - because we're convinced it'll happen.

John Cena

Two of the very best

Back at No Mercy 2017, Roman Reigns and John Cena put on an incredible match to follow a really fun build. Now, years later, Roman could continue his habit of killing off legends by squaring off with John Cena on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

The idea that these guys can't go in the ring has been proven wrong on multiple occasions, and it's about time they're given the spotlight to do what they do best.

Sure, the fans may boo, and they might try and hijack the match, but Reigns and Cena are more than good enough to win them over. They aren't known for being conventional wrestlers in the ring, but they've got a few surprises in their locker, and if they need to pull them out, they will.

Reigns going over would be the obvious route forward with this but if they wanted to go rogue, perhaps this could be the moment that John Cena finally turns heel. If they combine that with him winning his 17th world title, then they'd seriously be on to a winner.

Braun Strowman

Their chemistry is out of this world

We're not entirely convinced that Braun Strowman is going to be sticking around for too much longer, but if he does, it'd be wrong not to give the fans at least one more match between him and Roman Reigns.

Regardless of how you feel about either competitor, there is no way of denying just how much chemistry they have with one another. If we heard the words "I'm not finished with you" from the Monster Among Men, the entire WWE Universe would pop hard.

They've always gone toe to toe at slightly smaller pay-per-view events, but now is the time to pull the trigger on getting this match done at WrestleMania.

There was a time when it legitimately seemed as if Braun was going to become the face of the company, and if WWE can build him back up to that point, we see no reason why he couldn't be the one to walk away with the victory from this match.

If nothing else, it'd send the fans home happy.

Seth Rollins

Former brothers turned enemies

While Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose is the feud everyone points to when discussing the break-up of The Shield, everyone seems to forget that it was Rollins and Roman Reigns that held the tag titles together when the faction was first running rampant on RAW and SmackDown.

We're not sure what the alignment of both men would be, and to be blunt, we don't really care. As former Shield brothers, you can bet Rollins and Reigns know each other like the back of their hand, and while Ambrose aka Jon Moxley probably wouldn't be there to see the chaos unfold, you just know he'd be watching from a hotel room somewhere.

Seth is the only man, aside from Brock Lesnar, to actually be featured in a truly great WrestleMania match against Reigns. While Rollins may not have been too heavily involved in proceedings until late in the match, it wouldn't take much convincing to persuade the WWE Universe that they'd have an absolute barnburner of a showdown in a singles bout.

Tommaso Ciampa

This would do great business

We got a hint of what this feud would be like when Roman Reigns and Tommaso Ciampa went toe to toe back at Survivor Series as part of the big elimination match between RAW, SmackDown and NXT.

If anyone can get inside the head of someone as consistent and strong as Roman Reigns, you just know it's going to be Blackheart. We like the idea of him tormenting Reigns for months on end, potentially not even in pursuit of a title.

WWE is at their very best when they give Superstars the chance to tell a great story, and with these two, there would be no need for any kind of scripting. Give them a basic idea of what to go out there and say, and let them do the rest.

This bout would probably go down in a few years' time, but by the time it rolls around, both men would almost certainly be bonafide main eventers.

Start the feud at the Royal Rumble, and you're off to the races from there.
