"The feud we deserved" - Released star would have been one of Roman Reigns' best opponents, according to WWE fans

Roman Reigns remains on top of WWE, having held the Universal Championship for nearly 950 days now. He has defended the title against several great opponents, most recently Cody Rhodes. However, the company's plans for one of The Tribal Chief's feuds never came to fruition.Jeff Hardy was reportedly set to challenge Reigns at the start of 2022, but WWE released the former in December 2021. The Charismatic Enigma had refused the company's request for him to go into rehab following his &quot;erratic behavior&quot; at a live event.The biggest storyline consequence of Jeff Hardy's release was Roman Reigns needing an opponent for the Royal Rumble, as plans indicated he would likely face the popular star at the event. The Big Uce defended the Universal Championship against Seth Rollins instead, losing by disqualification.Several fans are upset that Reigns never faced Hardy, with Twitter user @heeljey recently posting about the feud that got canceled. Most responses to the tweet claimed it would have been one of The Tribal Chief's best programs during his record-breaking title reign.Check out the reactions below:sydney@heeljeythe feud we deserved. i just know this would’ve been one of my favorite feuds of roman’s reign2126144the feud we deserved. i just know this would’ve been one of my favorite feuds of roman’s reign https://t.co/2e2Dx76rM8Paul Watson@PaulWat67948240@heeljey Jeff vs Roman would've been feud of the year And probably what Jeff needed to rejuvenate his careerThat eventual Ladder match would've been..just yes2301@heeljey Jeff vs Roman would've been feud of the year And probably what Jeff needed to rejuvenate his careerThat eventual Ladder match would've been..just yesAiden Jamous 🇵🇸@AidenJamous@heeljey I feel like it would’ve happened it Hardy hadn’t left.39@heeljey I feel like it would’ve happened it Hardy hadn’t left.Young Chove 15@YoungChove2015@heeljey Sad we never got the feud of the decade ☠️6@heeljey Sad we never got the feud of the decade 💀☠️‘khi@BAEHELPKHIThis tlc match wouldve been legendary twitter.com/heeljey/status…sydney@heeljeythe feud we deserved. i just know this would’ve been one of my favorite feuds of roman’s reign142the feud we deserved. i just know this would’ve been one of my favorite feuds of roman’s reign https://t.co/2e2Dx76rM8This tlc match wouldve been legendary 💔 twitter.com/heeljey/status….@UtdGeorge00@heeljey This would have been amazing.2@heeljey This would have been amazing.Taheezy🕯️@tahlovesmanga@heeljey Me who wanted this:3@heeljey Me who wanted this: https://t.co/q0ZwdNqb0iJimmy@itzBadger1@heeljey Would've happend at the Rumble1@heeljey Would've happend at the RumbleRoman Reigns unified the Universal and WWE Championships at WrestleMania 38, still holding two belts to this day.
