5 Best Candidates To Dethrone WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns

If you want to talk about a WrestleMania main event for the ages, then the hypothetical showdown between these members of the Samoan wrestling dynasty is undoubtedly worthy.

The subject of these epic wrestlers clashing has been in talks for some time now, but Reigns has finally reached a point where he has the momentum and star-power to pull it off fully. There's no doubt it would be memorable, and it's far more likely to happen than you might expect.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has expressed interest in bringing this feud to life. Although you'd imagine he'd want to put his cousin over, it wouldn't be surprising if WWE used him as a means to remove the belt from Reigns without damaging him too much. In fact, regarding his character, it could spiral him into something entirely different as being beaten by the "real" head of the family would undoubtedly cause him to become more unstable and dangerous.

Suppose WWE were to wait until the next WrestleMania to pull the trigger on it. In that case, Reigns could be astronomically stronger than he already is, making this match off the charts regarding star-power, marketability and instant classic status. Rumours are circulating that WWE want The Rock for Survivor Series, so perhaps some set-up is on the way.
