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

That being said, Reigns is going to have to lose the belt at some point. Just as Cena eventually relinquished the title after a memorable run, there’s going to come a time when Reigns needs to step aside and do the honours for somebody else.

Presumably this will be rather later down the line of course, especially if we’re expecting Reigns to put together a significant title run and elevate the belt as previously discussed. Fortunately though, that only means that the company has even more time to build up a viable challenger - a viable challenger such as Braun Strowman.

Sure, it may not sound like such a great idea right now, but Strowman’s jobber-squashing shtick is already beginning to wear a little thin. Sooner rather than later, he’s going to have to progress to more meaningful competition, and what better way to do that than to have him go after Reigns’ United States Championship?

The matches themselves may not necessarily be of the greatest quality, but for the sake of creating a new star and making Reigns' title run all the more worthwhile, the company could do a lot worse than having Strowman be the man to eventually usurp Reigns.
