9 Next Steps For Roman Reigns After Winning The WWE US Title

Should he face Rusev at Hell in a Cell, and should Roman Reigns see off the challenge of the former champion, you’ve got think that that’ll be the end of Rusev’s bid for the United States championship.

In terms who’ll be next in line to take a shot at Reigns’ title, initially you might have thought Sheamus would be in contention with the way his best out of seven series with Cesaro was going. However, it’s since been revealed that the “championship opportunity” that those two were fighting for will in fact be a shot at the Tag Team Championship. So thankfully, it looks like we’ll be spared a rehash of the Reigns vs. Sheamus feud that graced our screens towards the tail end of last year.

That still leaves Reigns in need of a credible heel opponent though, and in my book there’s arguably no one that lives up to that billing quite like Chris Jericho.

Plus, given that they’ve only ever faced each other on one prior occasion, the matches themselves will be pretty fresh, while having Reigns get stuck into a lengthy program with Y2J could do his budding promo skills the world of good.
