This month on the 27, WWE will be in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for the 2023 Night of Champions pay-per-view. The night is going to be a special one because it will see Roman Reigns celebrating his 1000 days as a champion. However, fans wonder who might step up to challenge The Tribal Chief on that big day. According to rumors, Triple H has plans to do Roman Reigns versus AJ Styles at the Saudi event.
The Phenomenal One was absent from WWE TV due to an ankle injury he suffered last year in December. However, he did make a surprise return last week after The O.C. was drafted to SmackDown. But the question here is, is he really going to challenge the Undisputed Champion later this month?

Roman Reigns versus AJ Styles is a match that fans will happily accept at any pay-per-view. However, it seems Triple H, as of now, has no such plans for both men. Still, if he ever wants to do a feud between them, the history is already there.
The Phenomenal One has never been able to get a victory against The Tribal Chief
The 2016 men’s Royal Rumble match saw AJ Styles making his debut in the WWE ring. Since then, he has squared off against Roman many times, but never won.
So far, Roman Reigns and AJ Styles have faced each other six times, including two one-on-one bots. Unfortunately, The Phenomenal One has never had the last laugh.
Nevertheless, the last time both men shared the ring was as a team. It was a six-man tag team match on the April 15, 2019, episode of RAW. Roman, Styles, and Seth Rollins teamed up and defeated Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre.
