Roman Reigns has been the biggest star on RAW for three years. The Big Dog was drafted to the red brand in 2016 when the company reintroduced the brand split. Reings has faced most superstars of RAW, and the brand switch will provide him with some new opponents.

He had notable rivalries with Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar, Samoa Joe, Dean Ambrose and many more. The former Universal Champion also had a feud with Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre after he returned to the squared circle this year when The Shield faced the three men at Fastlane. Reigns locked horns with McIntyre at WrestleMania 35. Hence, there are not many top-tier superstars on RAW that he has not faced before.

SmackDown Live has a different roster, and the Big Dog could square off with elite superstars of the blue brand. Though Styles switched brands, superstars like Daniel Bryan, Lars Sullivan, Randy Orton, Kofi Kingston or even Shinsuke Nakamura could produce interesting feuds for Reigns.
