SummerSlam 2019: 3 possible opponents for Roman Reigns at the Biggest Party of the Summer

SummerSlam 2019 is right around the corner, and WWE is trying its level best to have as many superstars play a part in the event as possible.

In the past couple of weeks, WWE has given Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Ember Moon, and Natalya a chance to build upon the storylines that have been handed to them for the big event.

However, Roman Reigns is one top superstar who is yet to get his storyline for the event, as he is currently not part of any match for SummerSlam. Even though that’s the case, for now, he is one of the few top superstars who is a part of the SummerSlam official poster, hinting that Reigns will be a major part of the event in a match.

In this article, we will look at three possible opponents for The Big Dog heading into the event.

#3 Andrade

Andrade seriously deserves a big break

Since breaking onto the main roster, Andrade has remained as one of the favorite heels of the WWE Universe along with Zelina Vega. The superstar’s talent and skills have kept him on top, and he is destined to become a bigger superstar than he is at the moment.

While Andrade has remained on and off television for the most part, he hasn’t received any direction since his loss to Finn Balor at Super ShowDown which was followed by the tragic death of his mother.

Now that Andrade seems to be back in full force, WWE should seriously consider giving him a big push against one of their biggest babyfaces. Squaring off against Roman Reigns will surely help Andrade grow and receive a push through his great performances, even if he ends up on the losing side.

Andrade is too big a talent to miss out from featuring on the SummerSlam card, and if he lands a match against Roman Reigns for the event, he will surely rise up the ranks very quickly.

#2 Samoa Joe

These two men are no strangers to each other

Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns are no strangers to each other's abilities. Both the powerhouses have taken on each other several times in WWE in both the title and non-title matches.

In any case, both men have managed to put on good performances in any type of matches which they’ve been part of, and with no direction heading into SummerSlam, they could prove to have a good booking.

Samoa Joe has been one of WWE’s top villains, while Roman Reigns has been hailed a hero for some time. This could help write a storyline in itself which could result in an interesting and long rivalry.

Reigns defeated Joe on Raw this past week, and WWE could work on that angle to bring Joe back and put him on top over the Big Dog which will surely result in a very good match for SummerSlam at the middle of the card.

#1 Teams up with Cedric Alexander to face Drew McIntyre & Elias

Will Reigns find an unlikely partner once again?

A few weeks ago, Cedric Alexander tried to help Roman Reigns in a tag team match against Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon while fighting under a mask.

This led to a match between Drew McIntyre and Cedric Alexander the following week which Cedric surprisingly won after pinning McIntyre clean. McIntyre wasn’t too happy with the upset loss and delivered a brutal beating to Cedric on the episode that followed before their match could even begin.

Even though Roman Reigns has already faced Elias and McIntyre several times and defeated the duo, it’s possible that WWE will team him up with Cedric to face both McIntyre and Elias at SummerSlam.

Since all three top superstars are without a match for the event, it makes sense that WWE will try to put them in a match together that could add more star power to the event.
