5 superstars who would be a perfect choice to dethrone Roman Reigns as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion

The Bloodline

Roman Reigns defeated the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar in the ‘Biggest match in WWE history’ at WrestleMania 38. While the match was underwhelming for the WWE Universe,it enhanced the career of Roman Reigns in a very stupendous way after he was crowned the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion after winning a high profile Championship Unification match. While Reigns is the reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, who could be the one to dethrone the Head of the Table?

Who could dethrone Roman Reigns?

5. Gable Steveson

While it is hard to say how the Olympic gold medalist will perform in WWE, Gable Steveson has been a pioneer of the wrestling industry and the management of the company consider the big man as a main eventer. Steveson was confronted by Chad Gable at the 38th edition of the Grandest Stage of them All, but this has not only brought him some glory before his debut, but has also made him a considerable superstar to defeat Roman Reigns.

4. Kevin Owens

Roman Reigns has been a very dominant superstar for a long time now.

While Owens has ended up in the losing side for a lot of time now, the Prizefighter had a huge moment at WrestleMania 38 which has also been referred as the one better than the main event of WrestleMania 38 by many. This has brought Kevin Owens as one of the most worthy and deserving superstars to defeat the Head of the Table Roman Reigns, and become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

3. Seth Rollins

Roman Reigns has been a very dominant superstar for a long time now.

Every time Roman Reigns is mentioned in the WWE history, one name that will always be beside his will be Seth Rollins. The Architect has very much lost his touch since his heel turn back in 2019, but Rollins could be a great option to defeat Roman Reigns keeping in mind that the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion has never defeated Rollins in a Championship match. Plus, their match at Royal Rumble 2022 also saw the Head of the Table play out dirty to walk out as the Universal Champion but once again, Rollins never lost which could be a huge opportunity for WWE as well.

2. Drew McIntyre

Roman Reigns has been a very dominant superstar for a long time now.
Drew McIntyre is a former two-time WWE Champion

Though the Scottish Warrior has not found himself on the winning side while he has battled Roman Reigns, the former 2-time WWE Champion is a very viable opponent to defeat Roman Reigns and become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. While the story doesn’t seem to support him, McIntyre winning against Roman Reigns would make the Scottish Warrior a world champion for the first time in front of the WWE Universe.

1. Cody Rhodes

While the American Nightmare just made a return to the WWE after a huge six year break at WrestleMania 38, the prodigal son has found himself in the top of the company now. After defeating the likes of Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, and the Miz in a short span of time, Rhodes is the best option to defeat the Head of the Table Roman Reigns and claim the position that his family has always wanted, the world champion.
