In his 970+ day title reign, The Tribal Chief has defeated almost every big name on the current WWE roster. Right Now, it’s impossible to name his next opponent, or for that matter, who can dethrone Roman Reigns. However, thanks to the recent WWE Draft 2023, fans can expect a few new challengers for him. Well, as per a recent report, not one, not two, but WWE has three superstars in mind. Apparently, all of them could end up being the next opponent of Roman Reigns.

In less than three weeks, The Tribal Chief is going to achieve the biggest milestone of his career. As a champion, he will be completing 1000 days later this month. The big day is May 27, the same night when WWE will host the “Night of Champions” in Saudi Arabia.

As of now, WWE hasn’t announced who will be the next opponent of Roman Reigns. As a matter of fact, it’s unclear if he will be in action on the show. However, that doesn’t mean the management has no plans for him in the future.

WWE reportedly thinking to give AJ Styles, Karrion Kross, and Bobby Lashley a title shot against him

AJ Styles, Karrion Kross, and Bobby Lashley were drafted to SmackDown Live during the recent WWE Draft. Since all three are now on the same brand as The Tribal Chief, a future match is more than possible. And it appears, WWE is considering working in that direction.

According to Xero News, Styles, Lashley, and Kross are next in line to get a title shot for the Undisputed Titles. The report noted that all three, one by one, will be the next opponent of Roman Reigns.

However, there was no clarification as to when the said matches will take place. Besides, Xero News didn’t claim that all three names have been locked in by the management. Though it did assert these names are in discussions backstage.

“AJ Styles, Karrion Kross, Bobby Lashley – all said to be in line for title shots with Roman Reigns.

Not told when these will happen or if locked in but all 3 names are in discussion.” 

Well, when it comes to the next opponent for Roman Reigns, WWE has to pick superstars very wisely. By now, fans know that The Tribal Chief isn’t going to get pinned anytime soon. So, whoever will be put against him, must look like a threat.

As for AJ Styles, Karrion Kross, and Bobby Lashley, all three can deliver good feuds with The Tribal Chief. Though, everything depends on how and when WWE books them against him.

“The All Mighty” Bobby Lashley recently expressed his desire to be Roman Reigns’ next opponent

During last week’s SmackDown Live, it was announced that Bobby Lashley will be moving to the blue brand. And in less than 10 minutes, he made his intentions clear. He desires to be the next opponent of the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

Taking to his Twitter account, the former WWE Champion tagged The Tribal Chief and wrote:

Clearly, The All Mighty wants nothing less than the top guy in the company. Though as of now, Roman Hasn’t responded to his tweet.
