Now that Cody Rhodes unsuccessfully challenged Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 39, WWE has to look for a new credible challenger for The Tribal Chief. From the looks of it, the undisputed world champion's next title defense could take place at the Night Of Champions Premium Live Event on May 27, 2023, at Jeddah Super Dome, Saudi Arabia.
The WWE Universe took notice of a recent post on Twitter asking about the potential of a main event at the international show in which two-time WWE Champion Bobby Lashley would step up to face Roman Reigns.
It's worth noting that The Tribal Chief secured the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 38 from Brock Lesnar after The Beast won the belt in an Elimination Chamber bout in Saudi Arabia last year. The defending champion Bobby Lashley had to be evacuated on account of injury.
Henceforth, The All Mighty has a solid reason to claim the number-one contendership for the world title he never lost. In order for Roman Reigns to reach the 1,000-day milestone, he just needs to retain the WWE Universal Championship.
You can check out some of the fan reactions below:
Meanwhile, fans have been clamoring for Bobby Lashley and MVP to reform The Hurt Business. While there is a possibility of it happening with the WWE Draft returning in a few weeks' time, the rumor mill suggests that the company may have nixed plans for a reunion. Or have they?
On the contrary, some fans had suggestions of their own as to who should face The Tribal Chief at Night Of Champions:
Despite initially considering the revival of the King of the Ring event for the Saudi show, the company is instead now going with the return of Night Of Champions. The latest rendition of the event took place back in 2015. The show was notable for featuring wrestling legend Sting's last match for the Stamford-based promotion.
Bobby Lashley wants to reform The Hurt Business to take on WWE's most dominant faction
Bobby Lashley was recently asked by Denise Salcedo to list some opponents he would like to face. The All Mighty teased at the prospect of a faction warfare between The Hurt Business and The Bloodline:
"Roman's on the top of the business. He's been doing everything, and now he has back-up, which makes him even more dangerous. I'd like to be able to do a program with him at some time. I think The Hurt Business and The Bloodline would be a good little feud to have, and hopefully we can get The Hurt Business back together. If we do that, put it against The Bloodline and let's see who's better." [H/T: Sportskeeda Wrestling]
