WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns destroyed Braun Strowman on tonight's edition of SmackDown and looked as dominant as ever. The Tribal Chief now has his eyes set on defending the Universal title against Jey Uso at the upcoming Hell In A Cell PPV, inside the hellish structure. The match will end when one of the competitors utters the words "I quit".
Roman Reigns has been nothing but impressive ever since he returned to WWE TV at SummerSlam 2020. He quickly won the Universal title and also aligned with Paul Heyman, in one of the biggest surprises in recent memory. Thanks to the 2020 WWE Draft, there are tons of fresh faces on the blue brand, and Roman Reigns is bound to target some of them in the near future after he's done with Jey Uso. In this list, we will take a look at five feuds for Reigns on SmackDown, after Jey Uso.
#5 Big E
After being together for around 6 years, The New Day was finally separated during the 2020 WWE Draft. Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston are now RAW-exclusive Superstars, while Big E will carve his own path on the blue brand. This also means that Big E will quite possibly receive a singles push somewhere down the line. It makes sense to have him feud with Roman Reigns in the near future.
Big E is currently a major babyface on SmackDown, while there isn't a bigger bad guy than Roman Reigns. Reigns and Big E can certainly have a short-lived feud, and it won't hurt Big E much if he ends up losing to someone of the stature of Reigns. This feud will end with a win-win for both competitors, and then WWE can focus on building up Big E by having him win a couple of feuds against other top Superstars on SmackDown.
#4 Otis
Just like The New Day, Heavy Machinery is also history, courtesy of the 2020 WWE Draft. Tucker is now on RAW, while Otis is on SmackDown. Otis has been one of the most exciting and popular Superstars this year. His push kicked off when he got involved in a romantic angle with Mandy Rose, and finally won her heart. He later won the Money In The Bank briefcase as well. Roman Reigns and Otis have never engaged in a feud, and it's about time we get one involving these two popular Superstars.
Roman Reigns is hands down the biggest villain in WWE at the moment, while fans can't get enough of Otis and his hilarious antics. Reigns could target Otis soon after his feud with Jey Uso comes to an end. There aren't many heel vs babyface feuds on SmackDown that can top this one. Otis will be the ultimate underdog against a determined Roman Reigns. A 20-minute hard-fought battle will help Otis get over like never before, and will also lead to Reigns getting some major heat from the WWE Universe.
#3 Dominik Mysterio
The Mysterio family was a mainstay on WWE RAW for a while, but it all changed during the WWE Draft, and the father-son duo of Rey and Dominik Mysterio is now on SmackDown. Dominik is following the footsteps of his legendary father and is determined to make a name for himself as a WWE Superstar. Roman Reigns could possibly have a problem with the same. The Tribal Chef is as ruthless as he has ever been, and he wouldn't like one bit if a young gun tries to establish himself on his show.
Roman Reigns can target Dominik by stating that he will destroy him before he becomes a threat in the distant future. This could lead to a full-fledged storyline between Roman Reigns and the Mysterio duo, with Rey doing everything in his power to help his son against Roman. Much like in previous cases, a loss against Reigns wouldn't hurt Dominik much. On the contrary, getting in the ring with one of the best will help him get that much-needed experience that one needs to become a top name in WWE.
#2 Kevin Owens
Kevin Owens was one of the biggest names that moved from RAW to SmackDown during the 2020 WWE Draft. Owens seemed quite happy to learn that he and Sami Zayn are both on the same show now. Fans might remember that Owens has won the Universal title in the past, and was one of the most popular acts on SmackDown back in mid-2019. He would want nothing but an opportunity at Roman Reigns' Universal title if The Tribal Chief leaves Hell In A Cell with the belt still on his shoulder.
Owens and Roman Reigns have fought on several occasions in the past, and Owens has a bunch of victories over Reigns. Back in early 2017, Owens and Reigns faced off at a series of live shows on the road to WrestleMania, and Owens scored four back-to-back pins over Reigns around that time. This clearly means that Owens is fully capable of putting Roman Reigns down. On the other hand, Reigns is a completely different person than what he was back in 2017, and this fact makes a potential match between these two Superstars that much more intriguing.
#1 Seth Rollins
And here comes the big one. Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins were once the best of friends. It all changed when Rollins turned on The Shield in mid-2014, and the faction became a part of history. Both Roman Reigns and Rollins went on to become megastars in WWE. Rollins was perhaps the biggest 'get' for SmackDown in this year's draft, and he made it known that he has his eyes on The Tribal Chief. Rollins is a former Universal Champion, and he beat Brock Lesnar for the belt on two separate occasions.
On the other hand, Roman Reigns had to wait for years on end before scoring a title victory over Lesnar in 2018. Rollins vs Reigns has become a dream matchup all of a sudden, and Rollins' latest comments have only led to more speculation about a future showdown between the two top Superstars. Rollins vs Roman Reigns is a match that deserves a WrestleMania main event, and it won't be a surprise if we get to witness this bout headline The Show of Shows next year.
