At SummerSlam 2018, we saw the end of Brock Lesnar's Universal Title reign, and Roman Reigns was finally able to put the beast down, to capture the Universal Championship.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
Since then, Roman has been on a roll. He has already defended his title once and is expected to do it again at Hell In A Cell 2018 Pay Per View. Now, many of the fans have questions regarding who will be the one to dethrone the Big Dog.
These are the Top 5 superstars who have the caliber to defeat Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship.
#5 Braun Strowman
When it comes to defeating Reigns, Braun Strowman is the one who has already done it before. The Monster among men is set to challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Title at Hell in a Cell 2018 Event.
He has probably got the power to defeat Reigns. Strowman is also cashing in his Money in the Bank contract, which makes him look all the more confident.
As we have already seen, Braun Strowman is really the monster when it comes to manhandling people.
We have seen him flip ambulances, throw people all over the arena, and much more. He proved his dominance in the Greatest Royal Rumble Match, by defeating 49 other men to win the event.
He also took care of seven opponents to capture the Money in the Bank contract. His rivalry against Reigns back in 2017 was also pretty admirable.
The Monster Among Men had eliminated five men in a single Elimination Chamber match, which no one else has done yet.
These two competitors have already been rivals before, so they know each other's in-ring ability to a great extent. We're likely to see a great battle at Hell in a Cell, and Braun has the equal probability to win.
#4 Bobby Lashley
Again, Bobby Lashley is the one, who has been in the ring with Reigns before and has also defeated him in a one on one match.
Lashley returned to the WWE at the post WrestleMania superstar shakeup, and since then, he has been booked as a dominator in the ring. When it comes to power, he is a true beast.
Some would even say that Lashley should have been the one to defeat Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title, rather than the Big Dog.
Both Reigns and Lashley have defeated each other once, and there's always a close competition when these to are in the same ring. Both use similar moves like the Spear, to defeat their enemies.
Lashley has already been a world champion before, and he can do it once again. What Bobby Lashley has to do is, to just become the No.1 contender for the Universal Championship.
#3 Dean Ambrose
Dean Ambrose returned to the WWE recently after a nine-month long break, and now he's looking like he has worked out a lot, probably to look and feel better in the squared circle. This badass version of Ambrose is what all the fans want.
There were rumors recently, that Ambrose can turn heel very soon, and challenge either Reigns or Seth Rollins for their titles. It looks like Rollins might be out for some time, so it's the perfect time for Dean Ambrose's awaited heel turn.
Ambrose is also the shield brother of Roman Reigns, so he certainly knows much about Roman's in-ring skills.
Ambrose has always been supported by his fans mainly for his craziness, and if he turns on Reigns, the fans are likely to support the Lunatic Fringe, as he is an entertainer like no one else.
It would be great to see these to fight each other for the gold, and Dean Ambrose is going to be everyone's pick to win the match.
Everyone wants to see the new Dean Ambrose as a world champion.
#2 Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre, who was once a part of 3MB, left the WWE to pursue in other promotions and returned as a complete devil.
He was made to wrestle in the NXT once again, where he became the NXT Champion with ease. He debuted on the main roster as the partner of Dolph Ziggler.
McIntyre helped Ziggler to win the Intercontinental Champion and is currently one half of the Raw Tag Team Champions with Ziggler.
McIntyre proved his dominance in the NXT, and now he must try to do it in the main roster. His wrestling skills are also good enough to be a World Champion in the WWE.
#1 John Cena
John Cena has been the face of the company for more than a decade now and has won a total number of sixteen world championships in his long-lasting career.
He is tied with Ric Flair, who is also a sixteen time world champion. John is just one world championship away from being the one with the most world championships in the history.
At No Mercy 2017, John Cena faced Roman Reigns and lost the match after a brutal battle. Since then, Cena kept on losing matches, and finally, his losing nightmare is over.
Cena must have another battle against Reigns, to claim his 17th world championship. This would be the perfect revenge for Cena.
Both Cena and Reigns are considered as the top guys of the WWE, so their match against each other won't disappoint us.
