When Roman Reigns became the Universal champion for the first time at SummerSlam after defeating Brock Lesnar, the majority of the WWE Universe were relieved that The Beast was no longer the champion.

Although a huge chunk of the WWE Universe dislikes the "push" that Reigns has received over the years, it seems like they would much prefer someone who shows up and defends titles at every PPV and RAW, than someone who does occasionally.

The RAW roster is stacked with talent who can put on good feuds with Reigns, following the culmination of his current rivalry with Braun Strowman.

But, there are some Superstars who should not face Reigns currently as they may not deserve the opportunity or it isn't the right time for a feud with Reigns. Here are 5 Superstars who should not get a shot at the Universal title:


#1 Baron Corbin

Following the Superstar Shake-Up, Baron Corbin was re-packaged as Constable Corbin, who set things right on RAW. The gimmick hasn't quite taken off following a lukewarm feud with Finn Balor.

Corbin is now the acting GM of RAW after Kurt Angle was sent home, another role where he hasn't quite stood out. Corbin is great as a conniving, annoying heel, and he's nowhere near that in his new gimmick.

This week on RAW, he booked a match between Reigns and himself for the Universal championship, a match which did not make sense as it did not have any build-up or story. If WWE want to go down the route of Corbin abusing his general manager powers by booking himself to the top, it may not quite work out.

Corbin isn't one of the best heels on RAW (if Reigns is to remain a babyface) and neither is he very good in the ring.
