Roman Reigns is scheduled to defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against YouTube sensation Logan Paul at Crown Jewel on November 5th 2022. However, it is expected that ‘The Tribal Chief’ will walk out victorious from the match, as the current plan is for him to retain the WWE Universal title up until WrestleMania 39 at least. It is possible that he will feud with Bray Wyatt or Sami Zayn soon.
WWE has plans lined-up for Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns has been the Universal Champion for over two years. He had also won the WWE title at WrestleMania 38 becoming the Undisputed World Champion of WWE. Meanwhile, Bray Wyatt made his huge return to the company at Extreme Rules after being released in 2021. The two men have had a long history and Wyatt would pose a credible threat to Reigns.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer stated that Wyatt being part of the SmackDown roster moves him closer to having a feud with Reigns. He also stated that the ‘honorary uce’ Sami Zayn could turn babyface and have a program against his current Tribal Chief:
”Since they’ve done Lesnar to death, got the stip with Riddle who isn’t pushed at top level anyway even though he and Reigns did a great number, have now gotten past McIntyre, and Orton is still on the shelf with no return date known, they are back to no obvious title contenders for now. They do have Zayn for down the line who is very popular but at the end of the day nobody is going to think he can beat Reigns either,” said Meltzer.
While Zayn would be the perfect candidate for a feud with Reigns, he is still not a credible threat to Roman Reigns:
”They are hoping he could raise those numbers and eventually the roads if he’s on Smackdown leads more directly to Reigns,” said Meltzer about Wyatt.
