5 WWE legends who should return to face Roman Reigns in 2022
WWE has created something extraordinary in Roman Reigns. The current Universal Champion has held the gold for 540+ days. He will defend the glow in a historic winner-takes-all match against WWE Champion Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. However, this might not be the only showdown ahead for the Head of the Table.
Quite a few legends and Hall of Famers have expressed an interest in sharing the squared circle with the Tribal Chief. The company has firmly established Reigns as the top of the food chain. This is why no current star feels like a threat to his title, and the promotion has relied on part-timers like Lesnar and John Cena as opponents for Roman at major events.

With 2022 just kicking off, there are plenty of dream matches that the promotion can deliver with Roman Reigns. At stadium events in Saudi Arabia and SummerSlam, Reigns will need a worthwhile challenger that inspires fans to buy tickets.
In this article, let's look at five legends who should return to face Roman Reigns in 2022.

Which one is your dream match: @WWERomanReigns w/ @HeymanHustle vs. @JohnCena or vs. @TheRock? 🍿 https://t.co/hmlfFkjEeK
For over two years now, fans have wanted to see The Rock return to WWE to confront the self-proclaimed Head of the Table in the Samoan Dynasty in his cousin Roman Reigns. It is arguably the biggest money matchup that the company can offer and has many possibilities.
The Rock could potentially be the competitor to finally dethrone Roman Reigns as Universal Champion. However, Reigns could also pick up the most important victory of his career by defeating his blood in a high-profile showdown. One issue with this contest in 2022 is the current lineup for this year's WrestleMania.
Right now, Brock Lesnar is scheduled to face Reigns in the Winner Takes All main event in Dallas. Unless the promotion decides to put Roman on back-to-back nights, a Mania dream match won't be possible at this year's event. There is no other show worthy of Rock vs. Roman, so fans will have to wait until WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles.
