WWE recently confirmed that the Draft will return on Friday, Oct. 9, on FOX. It will continue Monday, Octob 12, on USA Network.
Right now, it is pretty apparent that a top star like Roman Reigns would be a valuable asset for either brand during the upcoming WWE Draft.
Top champions can also be traded from one brand to another, with Brock Lesnar being a recent example from last year's Draft. So there is a slight chance that Reigns could be traded to RAW in 2020.
But this also means that the current WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre, will probably shift to SmackDown if The Tribal Chief arrives on the Red brand. So, as a general rule, McIntyre won't be included in this list as a potential opponent for Reigns from RAW.
Here are five potential feuds for Roman Reigns if he gets drafted to WWE RAW.
#5: Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe could happen on WWE RAW
The Tribal Chief and the Samoan Submission Machine have faced each other several times in WWE before, but there are new and exciting reasons why they should feud again in 2020.
Currently, Samoa Joe is a part of RAW's commentary team, but he could return to in-ring action in WWE sooner than later. The Red brand could undoubtedly benefit from his in-ring acumen right now.
Technically, Samoa Joe is not related to the Anoa'i Family, but he is well-linked with the Samoan archipelago. A major part of Roman's current gimmick is being The Tribal Chief of the Anoa'i family. Samoa Joe could be viewed as an "outsider" if WWE were to book a feud between Joe and Reigns after the 2020 WWE Draft.
Also, with Joe being the potential babyface and with Reigns portraying the role of the ultimate heel, a feud between both of these Superstars in 2020 would certainly be an amazing contrast from their previous encounters in WWE.
#4: Roman Reigns vs. Bobby Lashley could happen on WWE RAW
Bobby Lashley is the current United States Champion, and The All-Mighty's stock has been at an all-time high since his return to WWE in 2018.
As of now, Lashley needs to start facing opponents other than Apollo Crews every month. The All-Mighty is a worthy contender for Drew McIntyre's WWE Championship, but given that he has already lost to The Scottish Psychopath for the title, it is unlikely that the two will face each other anytime soon.
So if a new top champion such as Roman Reigns arrives on WWE RAW, Bobby Lashley could aim for the top gold while being the U.S. Champion at the same time.
Bobby Lashley vs. Roman Reigns sounds like an exciting rematch now that both Superstars are on a hot streak in terms of momentum. With The Hurt Business by Lashley's side, Roman Reigns may have to dig deep into his arsenal in order to overcome The All-Mighty's threat on the Red brand.
Fans could also witness the possibility of the Samoan Bloodline gathering together as a stable to face The Hurt Business inside a WWE ring.
#3: Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton could happen on WWE RAW
The rivalry between Roman Reigns and Randy Orton could be a really interesting one, given the real-life heat they had against each other in WWE back in 2013.
The Viper also took some shots at Roman Reigns' new teeth on social media when the latter star returned at WWE SummerSlam. These examples prove that there are enough real-life incidences that can serve as a fictional premise for a Randy Orton vs. Roman Reigns after the 2020 Draft.
Ever since he started feuding with Edge this year, Randy Orton has experienced a resurgence as The Legend Killer on WWE RAW. Despite losing to Drew McIntyre on two pay-per-view events in recent memory, The Viper isn't done chasing Drew McIntyre's WWE Championship on the Red brand.
If Orton fails to win against McIntyre in a potential match at Hell in a Cell, The Apex Predator could quickly shift gears and challenge The Tribal Chief after the said pay-per-view.
A heel vs. heel feud between Reigns and Orton in the latter half of 2020 could be a money-making feud, at least in terms of storytelling.
#2: Roman Reigns vs. Dominik Mysterio could happen on WWE RAW
In the current WWE landscape, two major storylines have focused on pro wrestling families across RAW and SmackDown. Roman Reigns established himself as The Tribal Chief of the Anoa'i Family after defeating Jey Uso at WWE Clash of Champions.
On Monday Night RAW, The Mysterio Family is currently embroiled in a feud with Seth Rollins. Although Dominik Mysterio's WWE career has been successful so far, his long-term relevance will depend on how well he can adjust with opponents other than Seth Rollins and Murphy.
Roman Reigns would potentially be the biggest feud in Dominik's in-ring career after the 2020 Draft. Dominik may try to step up against the Universal Champion if Reigns gets traded to RAW, but The Tribal Chief will most probably teach the youngster a harsh lesson if they ever cross paths in WWE.
Seth Rollins mentally tortured The Mysterio Family at WWE SummerSlam, so fans know how compelling Dominik can be when his family is involved. Being a part of a pro wrestling family himself, Roman Reigns may top Seth Rollins in terms of inflicting punishment to Rey Mysterio's son in WWE.
#1: Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins could happen on WWE RAW
A lot has changed since Roman Reigns fought his former Shield brother, Seth Rollins, in a one-on-one WWE match back on October 11, 2019.
Seth Rollins turned heel and dubbed himself "The Monday Night Messiah", and he has been a staple on the Red brand for quite a while now. Roman Reigns himself turned heel only recently, and it is safe to say that he is the most mainstream star from the current crop of WWE superstars.
So if Roman Reigns is drafted to RAW as part of the 2020 WWE Draft, a feud against Seth Rollins would happen under a completely different context. Their careers will forever be linked to one another because they were a part of The Shield, but Rollins and Reigns have grown past that phase in a pretty efficient manner at this stage.
There is also the possibility that if Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins ends up being a long-term feud, The Monday Night Messiah may turn babyface to end his lengthy heel run in WWE.
If Roman Reigns gets drafted to RAW, a clash between the two remaining Shield brothers in WWE will have to be addressed sooner than later.
