#2 Roman Reigns (WWE Universal Champion)

Roman Reigns with the Universal Championship
Ever since turning heel at WWE Summerslam last year, Roman Reigns has been on one of the greatest runs of his career. His character has picked up a strong direction, and it looks like no one can stop him. 'The Head of the Table' is absolutely relentless and shows no mercy when someone disrespects his family. He perfectly slots into the role of the monstrous heel at the top of WWE's roster.
A worthy competitor for this iteration of Roman Reigns would be John Cena. Right now, there are a few names on the roster that the WWE Universal Champion could face at WrestleMania, but none of them would potentially excite fans more than John Cena. Winning over Cena would properly establish Reigns' dominance over the roster. Moreover, a WrestleMania rematch could be a great callback to their rivalry that happened back in 2017.
Reigns and Cena share a lot of similarities, and that was also the premise of their previous feud. However, this time it would be different. Cena would be facing off against a character that Cena himself could have become, had he turned heel. It would be intriguing to see how that dynamic might play out in WWE.

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.
