In one of the biggest upsets of the year, Shane McMahon defeated Roman Reigns at WWE Super Showdown last Friday. The Best In The World required some help from his ally, the Scottish Psychopath Drew McIntyre, to defeat the Big Dog, becoming the first man to defeat Roman Reigns on a pay-per-view in 12 months.

The feud between McMahon and Reigns is far from over. WWE has already announced a match between the former Universal Champion and The Chosen One for their next event Stomping Grounds where we can expect the Scot to hand Reigns his second consecutive major defeat.

However, Reigns can turn the tables by finding an ally for himself to counter the heel duo. We have already seen The Usos in that role. Here are the 2 other options for Reigns, who can join forces with him in the coming weeks -


#2 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman defeated Bobby Lashley in a meaningless bout at WWE Super Showdown. The Monster Among Men is directionless on RAW because the Creative team could not book him in the way he should have been. Strowman was once the most over superstar of the company, but has never been the same after his loss to The Beast Brock Lesnar.

Strowman has been out of the Universal Championship picture for some time, so we can expect him to shift his focus to some more significant non-title feuds. The fan favorite has often teamed up with Roman Reigns at live events. He also showed his utmost support to Reigns when the latter was undergoing the most difficult phase of his life.

Hence, WWE should bring this real-life friendship on the screen to develop the Reigns vs. McMahon feud even further. Team Roman and Braun could emerge as one of the most dominant tag teams of the blue brand. It is even conceivable for them to embark on a tag team title hunt, which they will be favorites to win due to their star power and ability.

#1 The Miz

Prior to the Roman Reigns vs Shane McMahon feud, The Miz was involved in a rivalry with the latter. The Miz could not defeat McMahon in both the PPV matches they battled in. With some obvious unresolved animosity existing, WWE can introduce The Miz as Roman Reigns' ally.

Roman and The Miz were bitter rivals in 2017-18, but they had joined forces in the last month to counter members of Shane McMahon's stable. The fans even cheered for this team; hence, WWE should try to capitalize and form a babyface alliance between Reigns and the Miz.

This will allow The Miz to stay in the limelight, while setting him up to finish his storyline with McMahon in a better fashion. Reigns and the Miz can even try their luck with the diluted the tag team division of SmackDown, where they can have a major feud with the current champions, Daniel Bryan and Rowan. The Planet's Champions will have their hands full if that were the case.
