The ruler of the Roman Empire and the power house of WWE, Roman Reigns will be missing several months of action. He was hospitalized on Saturday and diagnosed with Hernia. Reigns will be missing several months of action according to an update released by WWE. Roman is at the crucial stage of his career and this news would upset the WWE universe. With Reigns so dominant these days, his absence would definitely have an impact on the happenings in WWE. This gap would benefit Reigns once he makes a comeback but in the meanwhile WWE should look for alternatives that would compensate for the ‘Roman Factor’. Here are 5 such superstars who could steal the spotlight in the absence of Reigns.Roman Reigns is currently injured
#1 Dean Ambrose
Since the separation of ‘The Shield’, if there was one WWE superstar that totally shifted gears and started fighting with intensity, it is Dean Ambrose. He was on a mission to destroy Rollins. WWE could capitalize on this fact.
The ‘lunatic fringe’ has already gained a lot of momentum these days. After being curb stomped by Rollins on Raw, the return of Ambrose with retribution is much anticipated. It was expected that Ambrose would need (6-7) weeks of rest.
At Night of Champions, Ambrose placed a lid on the speculations and returned to WWE and took on Rollins, who was scheduled to take on Reigns that night. The return of Ambrose at NOC was prominent. The WWE universe would love the bout between Ambrose and ‘The Authority’. So, this makes Ambrose a potential weapon that could be used in the absence of Reigns.
#2 Seth Rollins and the Authority
Mr. Money in the bank, Seth Rollins has been a key player these days. He is a part of the authority and enjoys immunity. Ambrose rightly says, “HHH and Stephanie are the corporate parents of Seth”. Seth is always supported by Randy and corporate Kane. Seth played the key role in separating the Shield. He was a common enemy to Reigns, Ambrose and Cena.
Seth interrupted the main event match at NOC, preventing John to win the title and this is a clear indication of Seth becoming the future champ. He curb -stomped Brock in the middle of the ring. John Cena and Ambrose attacked Rollins on Raw and the WWE universe loved it. So, there is a clear indication that Seth Rollins could entertain the WWE universe in the absence of his former ‘Shield’ compatriot Reigns.
#3 John Cena
John has been the face of the company for over 10 years. The WWE team could once again rely on their trump card Cena to drive the WWE universe mad. This can be possible by projecting the dominance of Cena over Lesnar and creating an interesting feud for the next PPVs. This can be assumed by observing the performance of Cena in the NOC main event against Brock. Cena delivered 4 AAs and locked in the STFU 3 times in the match.
John was closing in on a victory when Seth interrupted and forced a disqualification. So, Cena could grow omnipotent and challenge Lesnar and an interesting bout would do a lot of business for the WWE. Cena taking on Rollins twice in the recent episodes of Raw and Rollins curb-stomping Cena on the briefcase also created a lot of enthusiasm in the WWE universe. There is always an option of going with the good old guy and making things really interesting.
#4 Brock Lesnar
One final choice for WWE would be to go with the beast incarnate.
Brock appears only in PPVs. He fights only once in a month. He is a champion who is always on a vacation. WWE could consider the possibility of asking Brock to appear on all weekly shows and fight every week. This would definitely help the cause and attract people. The WWE universe would love to see Brock every week.
One far-fetched option that WWE could go with is, to involve Randy Orton in the championship bout and make it a triple threat match. This is because, when HHH went to announce Randy as the #1contender to face John Cena at summer slam, Reigns interrupted HHH and that is why Brock Lesnar came into the picture.
#5 Surprise returns and rise of other superstars
WWE Universe is in anticipation of the return of two WWE superstars- Daniel Bryan and CM Punk. The Authority could consider the possibility of calling back one of these superstars. Daniel is recovering quickly and there is a chance that he might make a comeback in the near future. One of these superstars coming at this time would make things really interesting.
There is also a scope for highlighting the mid carders like Rusev, Dolph, Cesaro and The Miz and create interesting bouts. The Intercontinental and United States Championship competition should become interesting and WWE should work on this aspect.
