Roman Reigns' WWE WrestleMania 41 opponent remains subject to speculation. WWE analyst Peter Rosenberg recently discussed the possibility of the OTC going head-to-head against a SmackDown star for the first-time-ever at the Show of Shows, Jacob Fatu.
The former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion has been feuding with the new Bloodline over the past few months. While some thought he might square off with Solo Sikoa at WrestleMania 41, a Tribal Combat Match between the two cousins for the Ula Fala was announced for RAW's premiere on Netflix. As several fans and experts also suggested the OTC could fight The Rock at the upcoming Show of Shows, reports claimed a Triple Threat contest between The Final Boss, Reigns, and Cody Rhodes could headline the premium live event.
Speaking on his Cheap Heat podcast, Rosenberg proposed that the OTC go head-to-head against The Bloodline's Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania 41. Meanwhile, he acknowledged that the idea may sound crazy:
"If you were fantasy booking, I might make the Roman match, now I know this may sound crazy, I might make it Roman Reigns [vs.] Jacob Fatu. Fatu is not big enough?" [31:45- 31:57]

The WWE analyst pointed out that although he likes the visual of Reigns fighting Fatu. However, he admitted that the 270 lb. superstar was probably not a big enough opponent for the OTC for the upcoming Showcase of the Immortals:
"Listen, I agree with you though with what you're at least implying which is Jacob is probably not big enough to have Roman at WrestleMania. But I just love the visual of that match. From a wrestling match standpoint, that would be fun." [34:27 - 34:37]

WWE has many possible opponents for Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, according to Peter Rosenberg
On a previous episode of Cheap Heat, Peter Rosenberg discussed who could face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 41. He claimed the company has almost 12 options to choose from.
The WWE analyst mentioned John Cena, Cody Rhodes, The Rock, Seth Rollins, and Randy Orton as potential opponents for the OTC at the upcoming Show of Shows:
"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."
Reigns faced Rhodes in the past two WrestleManias. It would be interesting to see who he will face in the upcoming one in Las Vegas.
