16-time champion to make SmackDown return after 3 years as Roman Reigns' replacement? Exploring the possibility

Since the Superstar Shakeup in 2019, Roman Reigns has been a part of Friday Night SmackDown. During his time on the blue brand, the Original Tribal Chief has achieved a lot, including one of the longest World Championship runs in modern-day wrestling.

However, if reports are to be believed, Reigns' time on the blue brand might come to an end. According to recent reports, the former Undisputed WWE Champion and the OG Bloodline are set to move to RAW before the brand's debut on Netflix. If this happens, a 16-time champion could return to SmackDown after three years.

The 16-time champion in question is Seth Rollins. If a superstar of Reigns' caliber is moving to the Adam Pearce-led brand, it won't be surprising to see WWE send Rollins to SmackDown in an attempt to even the odds. This move also works well because Rollins could turn heel and potentially fight against Cody Rhodes.

While this angle is speculative, it won't be surprising to see something along these lines take place in the coming weeks. If Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns end up moving to SmackDown and RAW, respectively, it will be interesting to see the rivalries they will indulge in.

A wrestling legend recently revealed he regrets wrestling Roman Reigns

Throughout his career in WWE, Roman Reigns has competed against some of the biggest names in the company. One such name was The Undertaker, whom Reigns faced at WrestleMania 33. Not only did the Original Tribal Chief face Taker, but he also became one of only two men to beat The Deadman at WrestleMania.

While this bout will be a pleasant memory for Reigns, The Undertaker recently revealed his regret about the match. During an episode of Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway, Taker revealed that he regretted being in the match because he was unable to give his best to Reigns.

The Undertaker said:

"The match still bothers me. Not that I lost, but I was just—I stayed a little long. I stayed a little long. I didn’t have enough for him that I would have liked to have given him. At that point, my body was shutting down. Yeah, I shouldn’t have been in that match, but, anyway," the legend said. [From 1:29:42 to 1:30:14]

Overall, while Taker might not have been able to give Roman Reigns his best, that match helped many fans realize the faith WWE has in the Bloodline leader. After all, Reigns is the only man other than Brock Lesnar who can flaunt having beaten The Undertaker at WrestleMania.
