Baron Corbin recently clarified a previous tweet on possibly being Roman Reigns' next challenger, stating he wasn't referring to himself.
The Universal Champion has been dominating WWE SmackDown for more than a year now. Top stars like Kevin Owens, Edge, Daniel Bryan, Rey Mysterio, and John Cena have fallen prey to Reigns' might.
Now that Reigns has pinned his arch-rival Brock Lesnar as well, who will be his next challenger? WWE on FOX recently asked the same question to fans on Twitter. Baron Corbin responded to the tweet with a King Kong GIF, leading to assumptions that he wanted to be the next in line.
A fan stated that Corbin doesn't stand a chance against Roman Reigns. The SmackDown Superstar hit back at the fan, saying he wasn't referring to himself in the first place.

Both men engaged in a heated rivalry in 2019-20 before Reigns became "The Tribal Chief." The SmackDown feud ended with the latter defeating Corbin inside a Steel Cage at Super ShowDown 2020.
Soon after, Roman Reigns went on a hiatus. When he returned at SummerSlam 2020, he was donning a completely different gimmick. A few days later, Reigns defeated The Fiend and Braun Strowman to become the new Universal Champion. He has been dominating the blue brand ever since.
