Appearing on ESPN’s SportsNation, Triple H revealed the names of some main roster and WWE NXT stars he would like to face before retiring from professional wrestling.

Triple H mentioned that the list of potential opponents is quite long, but AJ Styles, Kevin Owens and Drew McIntyre are certainly on his radar:

"I watch talent now and look for their strengths and weaknesses, just like I did when I working with them. I see all these guys and its the AJ's and people like that. Kevin Owens, Drew McIntyre; people that are on the main roster that I go, 'love to do that with them.'"

When it comes to WWE NXT, Triple H named Finn Balor, Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano and Pete Dunne as the stars he would love to wrestle before retirement.

#6 Dutch Mantell's thoughts on who could face Roman Reigns after WWE WrestleMania 37

Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell (fka Zeb Colter) recently appeared on Sportskeeda Wrestling's YouTube channel to preview WrestleMania 37 alongside Sid Pular III and Jeremy Lambert.

Mantell gave his opinion on which WWE Superstar could step up to Roman Reigns after this year's WrestleMania event:

"I think Big E. Reigns gets a new opponent and Big E's never had a shot has he because now you're dealing with something new. I would go with Big E. I'd put Big E over strong. I'd put Roman over strong. I would keep Edge and Bryan together and then this is completely new. I think this would work."

The #WrestleMania preview with @DirtyDMantell, @TruHeelHeat and @jeremylambert88 was incredible. Haven't laughed this hard in a while. https://t.co/AYWVTaGf4f

Dutch Mantell added that it would be easy to build towards Reigns and Big E's future clash, and he also thinks there is a lot of potential behind this storyline.
