Here are five WWE Superstars who could challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship.
#5 Otis could cash in against Roman Reigns (and fail)
After winning the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, it seemed like Otis would be elevated as a singles star en route to a surprising world title victory. But now, surprising may have turned into impossible. There is no way Otis can cash his contract in and win the Universal Title from Roman Reigns, but it is likely that he will be obliterated by the Big Dog.
That would be a waste of the briefcase, but WWE has their hands tied with Otis. Other options include a move to RAW or Otis being tricked into trading the briefcase for a giant steak. As things stand, the latter is the likely option.
Anyway, it seems like Otis might end up failing his cash-in to a destructive Roman Reigns. It would serve to make the Universal Champion even stronger, with him surviving a Money in the Bank cash-in by winning clean.
