3 best opponents for Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 35 following his return
WWE had a stupendous show last week when we saw several unforeseen surprises on the red brand and blue brand. The post Elimination Chamber weeks are essential as the storylines are gradually developing for the Grandest Stage of Them All.
The return of former Universal champion Roman Reigns was one of the best moments of last Raw. The Big Dog graced the WWE ring after four months, and the fans welcomed him with an emotional ovation. As a matter of fact, Reigns was scheduled to provide an update on his battle with leukemia, but he declared that the deadly disease is in remission and he is back in the squared circle.
The Big Dog won the Universal title at Summerslam after he pinned Brock Lesnar. However, Reigns had to relinquish the title last year due to leukemia. The fans were perplexed by the announcement, and Vince McMahon's billion dollar company received a massive blow as Reigns was the ultimate face of the company.
Reigns' return is a serious boost for the company before WrestleMania 35. In fact, he showed the sign of his recovery when Reigns and Rollins rescued Dean Ambrose from the assault of Elias, Bobby Lashley, Baron Corbin, and Drew McIntyre. Reigns also speared McIntyre in the ring.
Since the Universal title match is already booked for the Show of Shows, Reigns might be searching for a new opponent. Considering Reigns locked horns with Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 34, a new rival could be compelling.
Here we discuss three best opponents for Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 35.
#3 Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre is certainly a great choice to tussle with Roman Reigns. McIntyre is currently an essential part of Raw, and he is one of the elite superstars of the company. Presently, McIntyre has aligned himself with Bobby Lashley and Baron Corbin, but he can produce a remarkable one-on-one bout. In fact, he defeated Dean Ambrose twice in the last two weeks.
McIntyre signed for WWE in 2007, but he did not have notable success in his first run. He earned a name for himself in the independent circuit before WWE re-signed him 2017. McIntyre won the NXT title once, Intercontinental title once and the Tag team titles twice.
Since Reigns and McIntyre are well built and proficient in the squared circle, they can provide a mind-boggling match at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Moreover, McIntyre is a top heel and it could be a fresh rivalry against Roman Reigns who is the babyface of the company.
