#1: Roman Reigns

Nexus has been mentioned several times in this article, but the failure of that angle only forced Wade Barrett to improvise and come up with a new WWE gimmick later on, it didn't destroy his career to a huge extent.

WWE fans may remember a stable called League of Nations, a critically planned idea which comprised of stars like Sheamus, Rusev, Alberto Del Rio, and Wade Barrett. It was the final nail in the coffin for Barrett's previous WWE run.

As a storyline, the stable was created to fall against Roman Reigns so as to ensure his success as the biggest star in WWE. Not only did the company fail to execute this idea properly, but that period in time is considered as one of the lowest points in the careers of all Superstars involved.

On the recent episode of WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns seemingly confirmed an edgier side to his character by aligning himself with Paul Heyman. If Wade Barrett decided to make an in-ring return, the most obvious direction for Barrett would be to target the man who indirectly caused the final blow to his previous WWE run.

Only this time around, the tables are turned and Wade Barrett could be the babyface in their potential feud.
