5 Superstars who should not get a shot at the Universal title

When Roman Reigns became the Universal champion for the first time at SummerSlam after defeating Brock Lesnar, the majority of the WWE Universe were relieved that The Beast was no longer the champion.

Although a huge chunk of the WWE Universe dislikes the "push" that Reigns has received over the years, it seems like they would much prefer someone who shows up and defends titles at every PPV and RAW, than someone who does occasionally.

The RAW roster is stacked with talent who can put on good feuds with Reigns, following the culmination of his current rivalry with Braun Strowman.

But, there are some Superstars who should not face Reigns currently as they may not deserve the opportunity or it isn't the right time for a feud with Reigns. Here are 5 Superstars who should not get a shot at the Universal title:

---

#1 Baron Corbin

Following the Superstar Shake-Up, Baron Corbin was re-packaged as Constable Corbin, who set things right on RAW. The gimmick hasn't quite taken off following a lukewarm feud with Finn Balor.

Corbin is now the acting GM of RAW after Kurt Angle was sent home, another role where he hasn't quite stood out. Corbin is great as a conniving, annoying heel, and he's nowhere near that in his new gimmick.

This week on RAW, he booked a match between Reigns and himself for the Universal championship, a match which did not make sense as it did not have any build-up or story. If WWE want to go down the route of Corbin abusing his general manager powers by booking himself to the top, it may not quite work out.

Corbin isn't one of the best heels on RAW (if Reigns is to remain a babyface) and neither is he very good in the ring.

#2 The Undertaker

At WrestleMania 33, The Undertaker was, what most fans believed, retired by Roman Reigns, as he left his hat, gloves and coat in the middle of the ring after losing to Reigns.

But The Deadman returned a year later at WrestleMania 34, facing John Cena, and once again at The Greatest Royal Rumble, facing Rusev in a casket match. And he's going to return once again at the Super Show-Down event, where he will face Triple H.

If WWE want to bring The Undertaker back for one final big match, possibly facing Reigns at WrestleMania 35, that would rob one talented RAW Superstar of a place in the main event. Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, Braun Strowman - all of them deserve to face Reigns in the WrestleMania main event, and it would be cruel on these three Superstars if a semi-retired wrestler is brought back for one event.

#3 Jinder Mahal

At Money in the Bank PPV earlier this year, Jinder Mahal faced Roman Reigns in a singles match, in a storyline which did not make sense.

The former WWE champion moved to RAW following the Superstar Shake-Up, and has a new gimmick (which happened following that match against Reigns) where he is a man of peace.

Mahal held the WWE Championship when he was on SmackDown, but he should be way down the pecking order for a shot at the Universal title. Like Corbin, Jinder is not one of the best heels on RAW, despite having a decent story with AJ Styles during their feud for the WWE Championship last year.

#4 Seth Rollins

Yes, Seth Rollins does deserve a shot at the Universal title, but not at the moment. If The Architect is given a chance at facing Reigns for the title, then The Shield will have to split, which may not be a good idea considering how over they always are.

Rollins vs Reigns vs Ambrose is a dream match that should happen, and could possibly headline 'Mania. But right now, the trio's feud with Strowman, Ziggler and McIntyre is one that is simmering and could explode anytime soon.

Perhaps, Rollins or Ambrose could face off against Reigns after Royal Rumble and build it up for a match at WrestleMania 35.

#5 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar held the Universal title for far too long and should not be anywhere near the Universal title picture. Yes, he's slotted to face Reigns and Strowman at WWE's newest show, Crown Jewel, but that could possibly be to capitalize on Lesnar's popularity in the Middle East.

It seems like Lesnar still has a huge fan following and brings in the money, but he could be used in the WWE in other ways, perhaps facing Bobby Lashley, in a match that has been on the cards since Lashley re-signed with the WWE earlier this year.
