5 potential challengers for Big E following Survivor Series 2021

Survivor Series 2021 was certainly an exhilarating affair with every match creating a certain sense of excitement, albeit not so much for Big E.

The main event of the evening saw WWE Champion Big E from RAW go head-to-head against Universal Champion Roman Reigns from Smackdown. The contest most definitely lived up to expectations, with both competitors giving it their all.

Roman Reigns struck Big E with three Superman Punches and a Rock Bottom. Big E then nailed the Belly-to-Belly slam twice, albeit neither superstar found success with their pinfall attempts.

The Powerhouse of Positivity even countered the Tribal Chief's most lethal submission, the Guillotine, with his Big Ending but still didn't get the three count.

The match continued to go back and forth. Reigns finally emerged victorious as he nailed the WWE Champion with a devastating spear. Big E, despite the loss, won hearts with a praise-worthy showing.

With the Survivor Series out of the way, the New Day member will now have to focus his attention back on RAW. There are plenty of opponents who are waiting to grab an opportunity to dethrone the champion.

In this article, we look at five potential challengers for Big E following his loss at Survivor Series 2021:

#5 Seth Rollins vs Big E

Seth Rollins is most definitely first in line to challenge Big E for his WWE Championship. This after The Visionary became the number one contender outlasting Kevin Owens, Finn Balor and Rey Mysterio in a Fatal Four-Way Ladder Match on the October 25 edition of RAW.

Rollins, at the recently concluded Survivor Series event, was pivotal for Team Red after he pinned Jeff Hardy with a devastating Curb Somp to take his team to victory.

With his confidence soaring, Seth will surely look to lock horns with Big E in the near future to become WWE Champion for a third time.

#4 Kevin Owens vs Big E

The feud between Kevin Owens and Big E is far from over.

The WWE Champion beat KO in a non-title match on the November 1 edition of RAW. A week later Owens had a measure of revenge after he unleashed a vicious attack on the champion. This after Big E inadvertently stood in Owen's path during his match with Seth Rollins when the brawl broke outside the ring.

At Survivor Series, KO surprisingly turned his back on Team RAW and it seems he has only one goal on his mind to dethrone Big E as champion. With Seth Rollins in the fray as well, WWE could also look to make a triple threat match in the future by pinning E against Owens and Rollins.

#3 Omos vs Big E

Omos was surely one of the shining stars at Survivor Series 2021.

The Giant outlasted 24 other superstars in the 25-Man Dual Brand Battle Royal to commemorate the silver anniversary of The Rock in WWE. Omos dominated the bout by eliminating 12 opponents including two towering athletes in Shanky and Commander Azeez.

The former RAW Tag Team Champion is certainly beaming with confidence after the pay-per-view. He could look to use this momentum to put his name in the WWE Championship picture.

The contest pinning Omos and Big E will be an exciting first with brute strength on display from both heavyweights.

#2 Randy Orton vs Big E

Randy Orton and Big E have had some memorable feuds in the past, with The Viper prevailing in their last match in 2019.

Randy, since becoming the RAW Tag Team Champion with Riddle as part of RK-Bro, has been on a roll beating teams like AJ Styles & Omos, The Dirty Dawgs and most recently The Usos at the Survivor Series 2021 event.

With momentum on his side, the Apex Predator could once again consider putting his hat in the main event title picture. Another bout pinning Orton and E will surely be a classic as Randy could look to become WWE Champion for an impressive eleventh time.

#1 Bobby Lashley vs Big E

Now that Survivor Series is out of the way, Bobby Lashley can focus on his single-minded goal of becoming WWE Champion again.

The All Mighty lost the title to Big E when the latter cashed his Money in the Bank contract in September this year. Big E would beat Lashley again in a Steel Cage Match to retain the championship.

Bobby is out to settle the score having lost twice to the Powerhouse of Positivity. He will surely pounce on the opportunity when it arises to dethrone Big E as WWE Champion, extracting bitter sweet revenge.
