#2 Baron Corbin gets a character change and faces Roman Reigns

In the last year, Roman Reigns has defeated nearly every major babyface on SmackDown. The only major star remaining is Big E, but WWE would likely hold of on that feud for a bigger stage.

Last week on SmackDown, King Corbin lost his crown to Shinsuke Nakamura. This would be a great time for WWE to repackage him and change his character up to something better. Maybe even bring back the original Lone Wolf Baron Corbin. If that happens, he might be an interesting option to confront Roman Reigns this week on SmackDown.

#1 Keith Lee returns and has a massive showdown with Roman Reigns

Ad

Open challenges are always fun and a great time to surprise the fans with something huge. A debut, a character change, or a massive return. In this case, WWE could use this opportunity to bring one of their major stars back on television. Yes, we are talking about former NXT Champion Keith Lee.

Keith Lee was drafted to RAW last year after SummerSlam. His booking on the main roster was met with a lot of criticism. Lee was last seen nearly four months ago and there has been no proper explanation for his absence.

With Mia Yim reportedly moving to SmackDown, we might see Keith Lee switch brands as well. Him coming out to confront Roman Reigns would be a massive moment. Who can forget their Survivor Series 2019 moment together? Roman Reigns vs. Keith Lee at WWE Money in the Bank 2021 in front of a live crowd will be amazing.
