3 WWE Superstars who could face Roman Reigns at SummerSlam

The Big Dog

Roman Reigns had a colossal battle at Extreme Rules, where the Big Dog teamed up with the Undertaker. The team of Reigns and the Deadman beat Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre in a No Holds Barred Tag Team Match, where The Phenom won the match for his team after pinning Shane.

Since relinquishing the Universal Title last year following the reveal of his Leukemia diagnosis, the Big Dog is having a decent run following his return. While Reigns defeated McIntyre at the Grandest Stage of Them All, he suffered a shocking loss against Shane McMahon at Super ShowDown. It was the first loss of the former Universal Champion this year. However, he got back on track after securing a victory over the Scottish Psychopath at Stomping Grounds.

Reigns has had a lengthy rivalry with Shane , but that feud has probably ended at Extreme Rules. With Shane starting a new feud with Kevin Owens, the Big Dog might need a new opponent at SummerSlam. Considering It's the second biggest pay-per-view of WWE, Reigns should have a big match.

Here we discuss three possible opponents for Roman Reigns at the biggest show of the Summer.


#3 Kofi Kingston

Will we see it?
Will we see it?

Kofi Kingston is the current WWE Champion and he could be a great opponent for Reigns. Kingston faced Samoa Joe at Extreme Rules, where the champion picked up an impressive victory. Since the New Day member defeated Joe fairly, they might not have a rematch at SummerSlam and we could see a new opponent for the WWE Champion.

"Kofimania" is still running as wild as it was when it began at the WrestleMania this year. After winning the title, Kingston has been a fighting champion. He faced Kevin Owens at Money in the Bank, and defended the title against Dolph Ziggler at Super ShowDown and Stomping Grounds.

The fans have been vocal against continuous title opportunities for Reigns, but he is certainly a big draw. A match between Reigns and Kingston could be a popular headliner for SummerSlam. Moreover, the Big Dog's last WWE World Title reign was three years ago. If Kingston manages to pick up a win over Reigns, the champion could prove his dominance.

#2 Goldberg

Spear vs Spear
Spear vs Spear

Goldberg could be an ideal choice to face Roman Reigns at the biggest show of the Summer. A match between Goldberg and Roman Reigns could be a dream match as the two men have never faced each other. While Goldberg was one of the most dominant men in his prime, Reigns is certainly the biggest full-time Superstar of the company and the match could garner the attention of WWE Universe.

Goldberg's last match was at Super ShowDown where he faced the Undertaker. Though it was certainly a dream match, it turned into a disaster following several botches. The former WCW Champion was busted open and he failed to deliver a proper Jackhammer to the Phenom. Therefore, Goldberg will be eager to prove his doubters wrong if he decides to grace the ring at SummerSlam.

Goldberg has expressed his interest to face Reigns in the past. WWE could also promote the match as 'Spear vs Spear' match. Considering both men use the move as part of their arsenals, it will be interesting to see whose Spear is more superior. It might not be a lengthy match but Reigns and Goldberg could tear the house down at SummerSlam.

#1 The Undertaker

A rematch?
A rematch?

The Undertaker could an unusual choice but the company could surprise us. The Phenom and the Big Dog recently teamed up at Extreme Rules. SummerSlam is just three weeks away and a heel turn from Undertaker could lead to a mega clash between the two "owners of The Yard".

In all honesty, it didn't make sense when the Undertaker showed up to save Reigns on RAW. While Reigns was getting decimated by Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon in a Handicap match, the Phenom made a shocking appearance. Considering the two men had a history, it was totally unexpected.

Reigns fought, and defeated, the Undertaker at WrestleMania 33. Besides Brock Lesnar, the Big Dog was the only other man to pin the Undertaker at the Show of Shows. Following the loss, the Deadman also teased his retirement as he left his wrestling attire in the ring.

The Deadman could be seeking redemption of his previous WrestleMania loss at SummerSlam. It will not be surprising if the Undertaker turns on Reigns on RAW sometime soon, and they could have a rematch at the biggest show of the Summer.
