5 more dream matches for Roman Reigns outside WWE

#2 Roman Reigns & Jon Moxley vs Guerrillas of Destiny - SHIELD vs Bullet Club

Two-thirds of one of the most dominant factions in WWE history, Roman Reigns and Jon Moxley, remained allies for the majority of their time in the same promotion.

The dissolution of the SHIELD saw them both pursue different aspirations. But they always remained close by and called upon each other as "brothers" whenever they stood opposite a common enemy.

Moxley has since departed WWE and helped build AEW into the pro wrestling powerhouse it has become. And should Roman, too, ever find himself outside the walls of WWE, we may well see their next reunion. A common enemy is the only catalyst needed to bring about the SHIELD reunion.

Enter the duo of Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa. The Guerrillas of Destiny have dominated the tag team landscape of NJPW and captured championships internationally.

But their claim to fame is their deep-rooted allegiance to Bullet Club. Bullet Club is the largest faction outside of WWE, boasting high-level members and alumni, and winning championships wherever they have gone. They went against the grain in NJPW, using unorthodox means to win by any means necessary.

In many ways, Bullet Club and SHIELD are cut from the same cloth. The SHIELD ran through the roster in a very similar way to Bullet Club and took championships by any means necessary just like their New Japan counterpart. Bullet Club and SHIELD also share the fact they both evolved from hatred and ire to admiration and respect.

Bullet Club vs SHIELD is a tale of two factions operating with the same mantra and poise. Jon Moxley and Roman Reigns reuniting against the Guerrillas of Destiny would be the ultimate battle with both parties flying the flag for the stables that propelled them.

#1 Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu

While Roman Reigns exerts confidence as the self-proclaimed "Head of the Table", leading his Bloodline faction with Jimmy and Jey Uso, there is a shadow that lurks behind him.

Roman Reigns has long been touted for a clash with his cousin, The Rock, for years and as such fans are quick to point out that he would be the perfect challenge for the patriarch of the Anoa'i family. But staring across the boundary is his other cousin, Jacob Fatu.

Roman Reigns has been dominant in the WWE, holding the Universal Championship over 400 days and beating every challenger with conviction. Jacob Fatu, on the other hand, had a stranglehold over the MLW World Heavyweight Championship, dominating his competition for over 800 days before dropping the belt to Alex Hammerstone.

While they are both great in-ring workers capable of delivering brutal and hard-hitting affairs when they are ready, their clash is a dream for the story alone. Roman Reigns has beaten both of his cousins, Jey and Jimmy, into submission and servitude and claims he is the bread winner of the family.

And while The Rock is by far the biggest name that can challenge the Universal Champion, he is not a full-time athlete and as a result holds very little claim to the throne.

Jacob Fatu, meanwhile, has been dominant and callous in his run with MLW, and as a full-time athlete he holds a legitimate claim to being the true Head of the Table in wrestling.

We are currently seeing the effects of good storytelling between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar thanks to their common denominator, Paul Heyman. The heart of their storyline is the question hanging over Heyman's loyalty and who he stands with.

The same can be said and done with a potential feud between Jacob Fatu and Roman Reigns. The Bloodline's structural integrity would be tested to breaking point due to the arrival of another cousin. If Roman Reigns is insecure as to whether or not he can trust Paul Heyman right now, imagine the character work we can bear witness to when the Usos' allegiances are tested.
