Could Reigns and Goldberg mix it up very soon indeed?

Roman Reigns is rightfully described as 'the guy' in WWE. He's worked his way up the ranks and is the face of the company right now, as the current Universal Champion. He is the highest merchandise seller for the company and despite the boos, even the most bitter WWE fan has some semblance of respect for the man. It is clear that he will be the featured performer for the company, going forward.

And yet, there are a handful of performers he hasn't squared off with yet! In this article, we shall look at 5 dream matches he could potentially have, in the months to follow. I'm sure that WWE will have Reigns mix it up with these men whenever it fits the current, ongoing storyline.

Leave a comment and let me know some other names that did not make this list. Whom would you like to see him square off against, when the time is rife?

Here's my list of potential contenders


#5 Jeff Hardy

Believe it or not, this is a match that hasn't happened yet
Believe it or not, this is a match that hasn't happened yet

Jeff Hardy returned to a massive pop at WrestleMania 33 with his brother, Matt Hardy. Since then they have been separated on different brands, and both men are doing their own thing right now. I guess owing to an injury that Hardy sustained last year, he never got a chance to mix it up with Roman Reigns.

This is a real shame because Hardy has gone on record and even named Reigns as his potential dream opponent in the past. I wonder how much fuel Hardy has left in the tank and if this match will even transpire before he finally calls it a day. WWE needs to book this match very soon indeed.

Would Jeff Hardy have to go heel for this match to take place then? We all know that Roman Reigns isn't turning heel soon.

#4 Bobby Roode

Bobby Roode is one of the best heels in the business; a man that can really get under his opponent's skin. We all remember his feud with Roderick Strong in NXT. How can we not considering just how gloriously conniving and evil Roode really was!? I think he can be a wonderful antagonist for a white meat babyface like Reigns.

Unfortunately, Roode has been a babyface ever since he moved up to the main roster. Wrestling experts have attributed this to the fact that he has a catchy theme song, one that fans cannot stop singing even if they consciously tried to. Therefore, Roode has never had the opportunity to mix it up with one Roman Reigns, thus far.

At the same time, I can imagine Roode and Reigns mixing it up down the line. There are only so many matches you can do on RAW, despite the stacked roster.

#3 Goldberg

This is a big ticket match that's yet to happen

There are many similarities between Roman Reigns and Bill Goldberg. Both men end their matches with devastating spears, and have been pushed by their respective companies like few other performers have. Both men have a background in football. Goldberg has even spoken about possibly facing Roman Reigns when he's been interviewed.

I have a feeling that we may see a program between these two men, before long. It will have to happen soon, because Goldberg is no longer a young man.

#2 Kurt Angle

This is a dream match that we could certainly see, down the line!
Could we potentially see a General Manager vs. employee match, down the line someday?

Roman Reigns and Kurt Angle have had many interactions in the ring. However, they've only been scripted segments with Reigns as a performer, and Angle as the on screen General Manager. We all saw Angle have the match of the night at WrestleMania this year, and we know he can still go!

This leads me to wonder if Angle and Reigns will mix it up some day. Reigns is no stranger to facing big names in the squared circle. He's faced legends from Triple H to The Undertaker in previous jaunts.

Yet again, Angle may have to turn heel for this match to actually take place. We know that Reigns will not tap into his dark side, at least for now.

#1 Andrade 'Cien' Almas

This is a feud that I really want to see

Andrade 'Cien' Almas is quickly rising up the ranks on SmackDown Live currently. He has a feisty manager with him in Zelina Vega, who provides the soundtrack to the carnage El Idolo brings. I personally think that he is a great opponent for Roman Reigns. After all, he's one of the best performers in the world right now.

The two men have never had a chance to square off, considering they're on two different brands. I can see them clashing when the time is right. Hopefully, by then, Almas will be a top-level competitor.

I know I left Shinsuke Nakamura off this list, but the two men had a lengthy sequence at the Royal Rumble this year. I also left The Rock out, because he's not a full-time WWE performer.

Let me know whom you'd like to see Reigns square off with, for the very first time, folks!
