Reigns vs Balor at Extreme Rules 2021

Universal Champion Roman Reigns is all set to face “The Prince” Finn Balor, once again. The Tribal Chief defeated Balor on a recent episode of WWE Smackdown, to retain his Universal title. But the two Superstars are all set for a blockbuster rematch on WWE’s upcoming PPV – Extreme Rules 2021.

The rivalry between Balor and Reigns has been going on since before WWE Summerslam. In fact, Balor was the chosen challenger for the Universal title at “The Biggest Party of the Summer”. But several interventions led to John Cena earning the spot.

But Balor soon got his shot at the Universal Championship, not on a PPV but on the main event of a Smackdown episode. Unfortunately, while he was making his entrance, Finn Balor was attacked by The Usos. While it did turn out to be a fantastic match, many might argue that the attack tilted the odds in Reigns’ favor even before the match began.

Interestingly, Reigns has also got a feud going on with “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar. We might hear from him on the upcoming episode of WWE Super Smackdown from Madison Square Garden. But WWE might want to save this mega match for a bigger PPV like Survivor Series, hence Balor has earned a rematch at Extreme Rules 2021.

The Demon King could come out to face the Universal Champion Roman Reigns

Balor and Reigns

Right after Roman Reigns emerged victorious on Smackdown, the lights in the arena went red for a moment! This might be a tease that Reigns has awakened the Demon King – Balor’s alter ego.

But here the issue is, The Demon King has been pushed as a really strong character. If he is brought in for a match against Reigns, and the Demon King ends up on the losing side – it will massively hurt the character. On the brighter side, it will massively push Reigns’ dominance, which honestly is not needed currently.

In case, The Demon King manages to dethrone the Universal Champion Roman Reigns, which is an unlikely scenario, things could get rather interesting. Currently, an issue with Reigns’ matches are that the fans are certain of Reigns winning one way or the other. The addition of Demon King to the mix, might work as a breath of fresh air.
