Roman Reigns: "We need the match book it Triple H" - Fans go all out in support after former champion announces his quest for Roman Reigns' world titles

Roman Reigns has faced countless tough challenges during his WWE title reign, but it seems like he has now come across someone who has all the fan support in the world. Following his return to WWE last night, Shinsuke Nakamura announced that he was aiming for the world titles. Roman's current reign is about to cross 1000 days, and Nakamura might be the one to prevent that from happening.

Shinsuke Nakamura has some unfinished business with Roman Reigns

Many fans picked up on the fact that Nakamura is owed a title shot. In January 2021, WWE held a gauntlet match featuring Nakamura, Rey Mysterio, King Corbin, Daniel Bryan, and Adam Pearce. The winner of the match was going to face Roman at the Royal Rumble. Shinsuke started off first and defeated Mysterio, Corbin, and Bryan. He was set to win the bout before being attacked by The Bloodline.

Adam Pearce was forced to win the match, earning a title shot against Roman Reigns. However, after some chicanery on both ends, the match was officially changed to Kevin Owens vs Roman Reigns. Nakamura's rivalry with The Bloodline was never followed up. He later did interact with the faction but never got an actual title shot.

After spending a few months away from WWE, The King of Strong Style made his return to SmackDown last night and defeated Madcap Moss. With Nakamura recharged and better than ever, the former Intercontinental Champion is ready to go for the World Championship gold.

What do you make of the situation? Do you think Nakamura should dethrone The Tribal Chief and win the gold? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.

If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.
