Huge name to defeat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40? Hint: it's not Cody Rhodes 

Roman Reigns has been a dominating force on WWE's main roster. The Tribal Chief has steamrolled over some of the biggest names in the company since winning the WWE Universal Championship at Payback 2020. The current poster boy of WWE recently surpassed 1,000 days as WWE Universal Champion and doesn't seem to be dropping his title anytime soon.

WWE introducing the World Heavyweight Championship has further suggested that The Tribal Chief could be in for a longer reign. It wouldn't be surprising if the Stamford-based company has Reigns walk into WrestleMania 40 as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. If that is indeed the case, then he could be dethroned by Gunther at the event.

For those unaware, a recent report has revealed that Gunther is currently the favorite to win WWE Royal Rumble 2024. Given that, the odds of The Ring General being the one to finally dethrone Reigns can't be ruled out. Gunther could potentially win the rumble next year to challenge Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40.

Given how WWE has booked him as an insurmountable force on the main roster, he might very well end up dethroning Reigns at The Show of Shows in April 2024.

Truth be told, The Ring General has all the attributes to end The Tribal Chief's reign. Much like Reigns, Gunther has been a force to be reckoned with on the main roster. The 35-year-old star has managed to make a name for himself courtesy of some impressive performances in the last year or so.

While it wouldn't be an easy task, Gunther potentially dethroning Roman Reigns next year would skyrocket his career to new heights, establishing him as a megastar.
