Fans and experts are currently speculating about Roman Reigns' potential WWE WrestleMania 41 opponent. Former 24/7 Champion Peter Rosenberg claimed the company has several options for the OTC, including one of his fierce enemies.
Reigns debuted on the main roster as part of The Shield, alongside Jon Moxley (fka Dean Ambrose) and Seth Rollins. However, the OTC's relationship with The Visionary went downhill after the latter turned on him and Moxley to side with The Authority. Over the following years, the two superstars turned from close friends to fierce enemies. The former World Heavyweight Champion even helped Cody Rhodes end Reigns' historic Undisputed WWE Universal Championship reign at WrestleMania 40.
Rollins recently refused to team up with Reigns and the OG Bloodline at Survivor Series, claiming he would stomp the OTC's head to the mat the next time they were in the ring together. Speaking on his Cheap Heat podcast, Rosenberg claimed a match between Reigns and The Visionary will eventually happen. He also proposed other WrestleMania-worthy opponents for the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion:
"He has like 12 options. Roman, you could literally have, if you wanted to at 'Mania this year, tell when I say a match that wouldn't me 'Mania worthy. Roman-Cena would be 'Mania worthy. They're not gonna do it but they could. Roman-Cody again anytime they wanna do it they have that as another option. Roman-Seth is sitting there and they're gonna do it one day. That is an option. Roman-Rock of course one day is going to be an option. Roman-Randy having the big spot for them to do it, totally an option," he said. [30:07 - 30:50]

Could Roman Reigns face CM Punk at WWE WrestleMania 41?
On the same episode of Cheap Heat, Peter Rosenberg discussed the anticipated clash between CM Punk and Seth Rollins on the premiere of RAW on Netflix. He pointed out that the match taking place on the red brand could mean it would not happen at WrestleMania 41.
Meanwhile, he recalled Paul Heyman owing The Best in the World a favor for teaming up with the OG Bloodline at Survivor Series. He wondered if Punk could ask The WWE Hall of Famer to return the favor by setting up a match for him against Reigns at next year's Show of Shows:
"So, I was doing an interview with my friend Jonathan Zaslow, who does a nice wrestling program, and he was suggesting to me the thought that if we're getting CM Punk and Seth Rollins on January 6, does that mean that likely CM Punk and Seth Rollins is not a WrestleMania match anymore. So, do you think now that CM Punk is gonna try to get Paul Heyman to return the favor at WrestleMania and we're gonna get CM Punk [vs.] Roman Reigns at WrestleMania this year?"
While Rollins and Punk will fight on the January 6 episode of WWE RAW, Reigns will go to battle against his cousin, Solo Sikoa, in Tribal Combat in the hope of retrieving the sacred Ula Fala.
