Predicting The Next 10 WWE Champions

7. Roman Reigns

If he wasn't already, Seth Rollins will be beloved for ending the Reigns era. The former champion, though, will have his rematch clause, and a Last Man Standing bout between the two former Shield stars will be signed for Extreme Rules. Not only will this match be a classic, but it will be carefully executed to set a new status quo in WWE. Reigns will throw absolutely everything he has at Rollins, but he won't be able to put the WWE Champion away. Rollins will keep fighting valiantly, but Reigns will overpower him, resorting to a level of brutality that fans haven't seen from him previously. Rollins will survive Spear after Spear, getting up before the ten count, but in the end, three consecutive powerbombs - one through the English announcers' table, one through the Spanish announcers' table, and one through a table in the ring - will give Reigns the win, and cement him as WWE's top heel. Rollins, meanwhile, will become the babyface he was always meant to be.
