Reigns has been the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion since WrestleMania 38 in 2022. That night, he defeated his arch-rival Brock Lesnar to become a double champion.

Reigns is now focused on WrestleMania 40. He will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Title at The Show of Shows. It remains to be seen who will be the one to challenge The Tribal Chief on The Grandest Stage of Them All this time around.

Cody Rhodes is hell-bent on finishing his story and defeating Reigns for the title at WrestleMania. On the other hand, CM Punk wants to win the Royal Rumble match and headline WrestleMania for the first time in his career. Only time will tell who ends up facing Reigns at 'Mania.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
