3 fresh feuds for Roman Reigns upon his return

It's no secret that Roman Reigns was destined for greatness from the very beginning. His arrival on the main roster as a part of the notorious faction, The Shield, was nothing short of impressive. The trio interrupted the WWE Title Triple Threat match at Survivor Series 2012, powerbombing the fan favourite Ryback on the announce table, and immediately making their presence felt.

The Shield wreaked havoc on the WWE roster, becoming one of the greatest three-men teams in the history of the business. Post the Shield's breakup, Roman Reigns became the breakout star and went on to win multiple world titles. He main-evented four WrestleManias in a row, including a win over The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33.

When Reigns announced that he's going to take time off to pursue his battle with leukemia, it came as quite a shocker to the WWE Universe.

Fast forward 2 months: Reigns is scheduled to appear on the upcoming Raw episode, to address his recovery and plans to come back to the squared circle. Additionally, it's being reported that Vince McMahon wants Roman Reigns to return before The Show of Shows. Let's take a look at 3 potential fresh feuds for Reigns upon his eventual return to the ring.

#3 EC3

A possible passing of the torch as the babyface of the company?

Ever since EC3 debuted on Monday Night Raw, he hasn't done anything worthy of note. A comedy segment on Alexa Bliss' talk show, "Moment of Bliss", followed by a loss to the Lunatic Fringe, Dean Ambrose, didn't exactly do him any favours.

If Roman somehow manages to make his return sooner than expected, an up and coming NXT superstar like EC3 would be the perfect opponent for him. From what we have been seeing over the past few weeks on Raw, there doesn't seem to be a plan in place for the charismatic Superstar. A short term program with the returning Reigns, culminating in a match at WrestleMania 35, would immediately cement EC3 as a main event player. Reigns has reached a level of stardom where giving a rub to someone like EC3 at The Grandest Stage of Them All, wouldn't hurt him one bit.
