10 Opponents For Roman Reigns After WWE WrestleMania 32
6. Braun Strowman
For anyone that thought the shine had worn off Braun Strowman in the eyes of WWE, the 2016 Royal Rumble Match should be a clear indication that is not the case. There were several meticulously planned out spots in the battle royal designed to highlight the newest member of the Wyatt Family. Strowman eliminated the two other biggest men in the Rumble in Big Show and Kane, as well as crowd favorite Sami Zayn before turning his attention to Brock Lesnar. Regardless of how green he is, Strowman's going to get an opportunity in the WWE as he's the latest big man to have attracted the eye of Vince McMahon. A one-on-one PPV match with Roman Reigns would be an incredibly risky move considering the level Strowman's currently at, but it's still on the drawing board. Perhaps the company is hoping that Strowman will be a quick study and picks up enough from his interactions with Brock over the next couple months to be able to hold his own in a match against the once (and future) WWE Champion, Reigns. Ultimately, WWE may hold this one off if Braun is still too green to be in there with their golden goose, but after Triple H, they will be desperate for top heels for Roman to feud with. Strowman has the look and the size that Vince McMahon loves so it's a safe bet to expect these two to square off at some point down the line, but perhaps with a stipulation or gimmick to help give Reigns and Strowman something to work with.
