#3 Big E vs Roman Reigns

It is quite clear that a singles push is in store for Big E in the near future. Kofi Kingston, a former WWE Champion, recently gave his blessing to his New Day stablemate. Big E delivered an incredible promo on Talking Smack, while debating with The Miz. A logical step towards turning Big E into a major singles star is to have him feud with Roman Reigns sometime in the future.

Roman Reigns needs a major babyface to work with, and Big E is currently garnering tons of fan support. When Big E returns from his storyline injury, a feud with Roman Reigns would make sense.

Big E doesn't need to win the Universal title right away, and definitely doesn't need to win a feud against Reigns. We have seen how effective a slow-burn was for Kofi Kingston, and it made his 'Mania moment all the more special. Let Big E struggle for a long time, and have him in a series of matches with Reigns, and The New Day star winning one of them.

That would be enough to cement the thought in the minds of fans that Big E is capable of hanging with the very best. That way, Roman Reigns beats a beloved babyface on multiple occasions, and puts him over with that one rare loss as well.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
