#4 - Cesaro would make a fresh, strong opponent for Roman Reigns on WWE SmackDown

Roman Reigns with Paul Heyman
Roman Reigns has been on an absolute tear ever since his return at WWE SummerSlam. He has become an unstoppable force who hasn't lost a singles match ever since he came back. He has even laid his control on the WWE Universal Championship and it doesn't look like he's letting go of it anytime soon.

For his character to progress even further, Roman needs a strong opponent, one with a lot of momentum on his back. It can be argued that Daniel Bryan is going to assume that role, but it is not as fresh of a match as Cesaro vs Roman Reigns could be. Roman vs Bryan could easily be a match at WWE Fastlane instead.
Cesaro, on the other hand, is a whole new basket of options. We haven't seen Roman and Cesaro battle it out before, with such big stakes on the line. Moreover, Cesaro did have something to say a couple of weeks back when Roman and Jey laid a beating on his partner Shinsuke Nakamura.
On last week's episode of Talking Smack, Cesaro made it official that if he won the Rumble he would be challenging Roman Reigns. If that were to happen, it would make for an extremely exciting scenario. With the level that these two work at, their rivalry could be a treat for the fans.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.
If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.
When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
