5 Likely opponents for Roman Reigns after defeating Kevin Owens at WWE TLC 2020

#1 Is it finally time for Big E to step up and challenge Roman Reigns?

The Miz caught up with us here at SK Wrestling and told us with the utmost confidence that Big E has it in him to be a future Universal Champion. Could he be Roman Reigns' next opponent?

Yes, we know that Big E is in the WWE Intercontinental Championship picture at the moment, but it just seems like he's meant to be so much more. A feud with Roman Reigns will really elevate him to the next level, where he is meant to be.

I respect any man who wants to provide for his family, but if anyone challenges my position, I’ll remove you from this Universe and ensure you never get the opportunity again. #WWETLC pic.twitter.com/V18oEOjgqI

While Big E should ideally step up to challenge Roman Reigns right away, another option is for him to win the Royal Rumble and then challenge the current Universal Champion at WrestleMania. But he needs to move out of the mid-card very soon indeed.

Yes, Aleister Black vs. Roman Reigns would have been a good match too, but we know that the contest is not happening because Black hasn't been booked in the right way on the SmackDown brand at all.
