3 best opponents for Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 35 following his return

WWE had a stupendous show last week when we saw several unforeseen surprises on the red brand and blue brand. The post Elimination Chamber weeks are essential as the storylines are gradually developing for the Grandest Stage of Them All.

The return of former Universal champion Roman Reigns was one of the best moments of last Raw. The Big Dog graced the WWE ring after four months, and the fans welcomed him with an emotional ovation. As a matter of fact, Reigns was scheduled to provide an update on his battle with leukemia, but he declared that the deadly disease is in remission and he is back in the squared circle.

The Big Dog won the Universal title at Summerslam after he pinned Brock Lesnar. However, Reigns had to relinquish the title last year due to leukemia. The fans were perplexed by the announcement, and Vince McMahon's billion dollar company received a massive blow as Reigns was the ultimate face of the company.

Reigns' return is a serious boost for the company before WrestleMania 35. In fact, he showed the sign of his recovery when Reigns and Rollins rescued Dean Ambrose from the assault of Elias, Bobby Lashley, Baron Corbin, and Drew McIntyre. Reigns also speared McIntyre in the ring.

Since the Universal title match is already booked for the Show of Shows, Reigns might be searching for a new opponent. Considering Reigns locked horns with Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 34, a new rival could be compelling.

Here we discuss three best opponents for Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 35.

#3 Drew McIntyre

The Scottish Psychopath

Drew McIntyre is certainly a great choice to tussle with Roman Reigns. McIntyre is currently an essential part of Raw, and he is one of the elite superstars of the company. Presently, McIntyre has aligned himself with Bobby Lashley and Baron Corbin, but he can produce a remarkable one-on-one bout. In fact, he defeated Dean Ambrose twice in the last two weeks.

McIntyre signed for WWE in 2007, but he did not have notable success in his first run. He earned a name for himself in the independent circuit before WWE re-signed him 2017. McIntyre won the NXT title once, Intercontinental title once and the Tag team titles twice.

Since Reigns and McIntyre are well built and proficient in the squared circle, they can provide a mind-boggling match at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Moreover, McIntyre is a top heel and it could be a fresh rivalry against Roman Reigns who is the babyface of the company.

#2 Kurt Angle

Angle

Kurt Angle is a legendary superstar, and he can be a perfect choice for Reigns at the Show of Shows. The former Olympic gold medalist is part of the red brand. He defeated Jinder Mahal this week, and he is building good momentum before the Show of Shows in New Jersey. Considering Angle is in the twilight of his career, Reigns could be a perfect opponent to retire him.

There is no denying that Kurt Angle is one of the greatest Superstars to grace the WWE ring. With amateur wrestling background, Angle brings amateur wrestling inspired moves in the squared circle. He won the WCW title once, US title once, Tag team titles once, Intercontinental title once and the WWE title five times. In fact, Angle is a Grand Slam champion.

Since Angle and Reigns never locked horns, it could be a fresh rivalry for the WWE Universe. Though Angle lost his momentum after consecutive defeats in the last couple of months, he is still a force to reckon. The 50-year-old is not swift like he was in the past, but he is competent to provide an astounding bout in New Jersey.

#1 The Rock

Will we see this dream match?

The Rock is undoubtedly an ideal candidate to face the Big Dog, and he is number one in this list. The Great One's last run was in 2013 when he main-evented WrestleMania 29 with John Cena. He made some surprising appearances in the last couple of years, but he is busy with his movie career in Hollywood.

The Rock is currently an elite Hollywood movie star who has offered several blockbuster movies in his career. He also attained plenty of success in WWE, and he is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all-time. The Rock had unforgettable feuds with Stone Cold, Triple H, Mankind, Undertaker and many more. He won the Intercontinental title twice, Tag team titles five times and the WWE title ten times.

The Rock and Roman Reigns are cousins, and they shared the ring in the past. Considering the stature of two men in WWE, it could be a dream match at WrestleMania 35. Moreover, Reigns main-evented WrestleMania four times in a row. Though the Raw women's championship match has a gigantic possibility to main-event the Show of Shows, the scenario could alter if Reigns faces the Rock in New Jersey.
