There are not many WWE Superstars on the current roster who have been booked as well as Roman Reigns since the last year or so. One star that comes close is former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.

McIntyre and Reigns took on each other at last year's Survivor Series 2020 in a "Champions vs. Champions" match. After a thrilling back-and-forth match, it was Roman Reigns who emerged victorious by using some heel tactics. However, fans were extremely impressed with the match and wanted to see the two have a proper rivalry.

Now, Drew McIntyre winning the Universal Championship in the future is very much possible, however, him doing it this year is unlikely. But as the saying goes in WWE - never say never!

If WWE holds another draft later this year, McIntyre might move over to SmackDown where he could challenge for the Universal Championship and even win it. A long-term feud between two of WWE's biggest superstars in Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns in front of a live crowd could shoot the ratings through the roof.
