Roman Reigns just became the Universal Champion, but there is one Superstar who the WWE fans want to see dethrone him. It is the man who has been making waves with his passionate promos on Talking Smack, Big E. This is a match made in heaven. The perfect main event.

The New Day member has just begun his singles run after over five years of teaming with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, earning some impressive victories so far. WWE seems to be slowly building Big E up and grooming him for an eventual title shot.

That title shot should not come until the company is ready to pull the trigger on him. Having Roman Reigns as the dominant and dastardly heel Champion, with Paul Heyman by his side, would require a universally loved babyface to dethrone him, whenever that may be.

Nobody would be as popular as Big E, in that respect. Both Superstars are all about getting to the top in their own ways. Reigns won the Universal Title by taking advantage of a chaotic scene and feasting on the scraps. Big E wants to retain his goofy persona, while maintaining a level of seriousness throughout his singles run.

Despite the two different paths, the goal is the same. Be on top of the WWE mountain. The Big Dog is at that point now, but Big E will be looking to push him off. As things stand, he is the best choice to eventually beat Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship.

WWE has set things up perfectly for this to happen. If they play their cards right, Roman Reigns vs Big E for Universal Title could main event WrestleMania 37.
