WWE SmackDown: 5 Reasons why Roman Reigns is Goldberg's Universal Championship opponent at WrestleMania

#1 Out of the Universal Championship picture for too long

One has to remember that Roman Reigns never really lost the Universal Championship but had to give it up owing to the fact that he battled a real-life threat- leukemia. After defeating the dreaded disease, the man chose to make his return to the company but has stayed out of the Championship picture, focusing on other things.

He would take on the threat of Erick Rowan as he threatened to take Roman Reigns down by staging traps and then face King Corbin for months on end. It is certainly time for him to return to the fold and remind us why he is the franchise player for the company once again.

Roman Reigns is someone whose absence from the Championship picture has earned him a certain amount of goodwill to the point where the audience will not necessarily rebel if he was to be brought back into the title picture for another run. Would you like to see Roman Reigns as Universal Champion yet again?

Let us know in the comments below. Is this the match you wanted to see?
