On SmackDown, Roman Reigns has created history by having one of the longest title reigns in modern-day wrestling. Since the last three years, he has held a championship and raised questions about when and who would dethrone The Tribal Chief.
While there are several names, who could do the same, on RAW, an unexpected name was teased. The name in question is Damian Priest. On the latest edition of the red brand, Judgment Day leader Rhea Ripley was in conversation with Seth Rollins.
During the segment, Ripley offered The Judgment Day's services to Rollins. However, when he replied that she was unsure of Damian Priest's ability to win the World Heavyweight Championship, Ripley said if Seth joins forces, Priest need not cash in his title on Rollins. She also told Rollins he could be what Reigns is.

AEW wrestler wants SmackDown star to dethrone Roman Reigns
Over the last few months, fans and wrestlers have suggested many names who could beat Roman Reigns. As per many, Cody Rhodes should be the one since he has a story to finish. However, AEW star Thunder Rosa has a different opinion.
During her appearance on Busted Open Radio, Rosa said Knight could beat Reigns and take the title to the next level. She also spoke about the SmackDown superstar's organic growth to superstardom.
Thunder Rosa said:
"Who will be the next that can be over as hell that can take that title, and take it to the next level? At this moment right now, on Friday, it's LA Knight," Rosa told Busted Open yesterday. "They didn't push him, they didn't shove him [down] our throats, it was natural."
She further added:
"Everybody's like, 'Yeah! Yeah!' and everywhere you go — that's the kind of thing that makes a superstar a superstar. He's a superstar."
While it remains to be seen how Knight would do as champion, he certainly has the opportunity of winning Reigns' belt. At Crown Jewel 2023, LA Knight will face Roman Reigns in a much-awaited match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
