On 16th January 2022, Roman Reigns became the longest-reigning Universal Champion in history. The Tribal Chief has been the Champion for over 500+ days and doesn't seem to be losing the title any time soon.

During this memorable reign, he has encountered a variety of opponents. Reigns defeated veterans like Edge and John Cena alongside new faces like King Woods and Jey Uso.

The Head of the Table claims that he has taken down every major superstar on the roster, but that is not entirely true. Some prominent stars could become a credible threat to his title reign. Some Smackdown superstars are also waiting for a shot against the champion.

In this article, let's look at five WWE Superstars who are yet to face heel Roman Reigns.

#5. Randy Orton would love to face Roman Reigns.

Randy Orton was supposed to lock horns with the Tribal Chief at Survivor Series 2020. However, he lost his title to Drew McIntyre just before the pay-per-view. A section of the WWE Universe was disappointed with the title change, as they wanted The Viper to renew his rivalry with Reigns.

The Legend Killer is currently a part of the Red Brand. He could have his shot at the Universal Championship if he manages to win the upcoming Men's Royal Rumble match at the eponymous pay-per-view.

#4. Sheamus can give a tough fight to Roman Reigns.

Sheamus and Roman Reigns are no strangers. In 2015, the duo got involved in an intense feud.

The Celtic Warrior ended Roman's first world title reign by cashing in the Money in the Bank contract at Survivor Series. However, The Big Dog avenged his previous losses by regaining the title within 22 days.

Although the Irishman has battled heel Reigns in tag team matches, he is yet to face him in singles competition. Sheamus could reignite his rivalry with the Universal Champion, avenging his previous humiliation.

#3. Ricochet deserves a chance to face the Universal Champion

Ricochet is one of WWE's most underutilized superstars today. He is popular among the fans for his mind-blowing aerial maneuvers.

Ricochet possesses all qualities to be a credible challenger for Roman Reigns. He is a lot faster than guys like Rey Mysterio and Finn Balor, which gives him an advantage over the titleholder. He could easily counter Reigns' brute force with his agility.

The possibility of Ricochet dethroning the Tribal Chief becomes relatively high if we consider his past victories over big men like Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley.

#2. Goldberg has never faced Roman Reigns.

The Goldberg vs. Roman Reigns match has been teased several times but hasn't happened even once.

During their first confrontation in 2017, people got excited about a potential "Spear vs. Spear" showdown. Finally, in March 2020, Roman challenged Goldberg to a Universal title match at WrestleMania 36.

Unfortunately, the bout didn't occur as The Tribal Chief pulled himself out of the show. However, the WCW icon could now return and compete against Roman Reigns.

Goldberg only has one match left on his contract, and he would like to utilize this opportunity by putting the Tribal Chief over. By doing so, the two-time Universal Champion will also be able to end his career on a high note.

#1. AJ Styles could be the man to take down the Tribal Chief

AJ Styles is amongst the most formidable opponents Roman Reigns has ever faced. The duo feuded for the first time in 2016.

They had two consecutive pay-per-view contests, where Reigns barely got the victory. Although AJ didn't win, he successfully established himself as a main-event player.

The two men haven't faced each other since then. But it seems that time has arrived for AJ to switch brands and go after the Universal Champion. The Phenomenal One has all the weapons in his arsenal to combat the Head of the Table.

The Universal Championship is the only WWE title that has eluded AJ Styles. By targeting the Tribal Chief, he could finally capture the prestigious Championship. It would be a joyful moment for his admirers, who want to see The Phenomenal One as the world Champion again.
