3 Former WWE Universal Champions who may win the title again and 2 who may not

#1 Roman Reigns (May win)

Speaking of today's stars, Roman Reigns is seemingly a lock to win the Universal Championship. He was set to win the title at WrestleMania, before pulling out due to a higher health risk.

There's no saying when Reigns will be back in WWE. It could be a while before we see him back. But whenever he does, expect him to win the Universal Title from Braun Strowman, Bray Wyatt or whoever is the Champion then.

The Big Dog has had some rotten luck with the WWE and Universal Championship. He has not gotten the opportunity to take the belt and run with it, whether it was due to a last-minute change of plans, getting suspended or his leukemia returning.

WWE will want Reigns to win the big blue belt again, before setting on the reign he was meant to have a few years ago. He would be a great Champion, with his fighting spirit and in-ring talent.

He hasn't yet gotten his Universal Title rematch since vacating the belt in October 2018, with the said match being delayed even further by his current absence. But you better believe that once this pandemic is behind us, and Roman Reigns returns to action, he will become the Universal Champion.

And who knows how long will his reign be?
