Four WWE stars who could dethrone Roman Reigns for World Heavyweight Championship

WWE

Roman Reigns continues to be a dominant force in WWE, and he could be set to have a major moment pushing forward the next generation.

While there isn’t anyone that could certainly take down Roman Reigns, in the event that the sought after star is looking to step away from WWE for an annual retreat, there are some fascinating prospects for who could be the one to topple his current WWE World Heavyweight Championship reign.

Here are four WWE stars that could potentially end up being the ones to topple the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns.

Jacob Fatu

After spending months feuding with Roman Reigns and actually challenging him for the World Heavyweight Championship in Tribal Combat, Jacob Fatu would end up falling short.

However, remaining a fan favorite throughout his alliance with The Bloodline, it could be that Jacob Fatu becomes the next defector turned champion from the faction.

Seemingly the most logical choice of who might ultimately best Roman Reigns for his WWE World Heavyweight Championship, it could end up being Fatu who takes over the title.

Keeping the title within the Bloodline storyline, it would be fascinating to see where the story could go in the future, leaving an opportunity for either the return of The Rock or a resurrected Roman Reigns.

Oba Femi

One potential rising star that could be poised to take on Roman Reigns in main event action is Oba Femi.

With Femi potentially set to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 43, it could make sense from a storyline perspective to see a ‘next generation’ star beat The Tribal Chief for the WWE World Championship.

Setting Reigns up for an opportunity for a break as well as launching Femi into a brand new set of feuds, the transition could be both well thought out and well timed.

Bron Breakker

what could be seen as an even more profound shift in direction for WWE would be to see Bron Breakker topple Roman Reigns.

With the ongoing connection with Paul Heyman as well as both being multigenerational talent, there could be a very interesting feud between Breakker and Reigns that has yet to be unearthed.

Able to extend beyond just the battle of the Spears, the pair could tell a rather nuanced and interesting story both in the ring and in the lead up to a big event.

With Breakker attempting to appeal to a younger Reigns’ perspective with Reigns able to flex his wisdom gained through maturity, this changing of the guard could be particularly powerful.

Penta

After a remarkable bout against Reigns in Mexico City on WWE Raw, it could be that Penta’s momentum continues.

Able to pick up a feud in the future with Roman Reigns, Penta could certainly turn to his own bloodline to bring brother Rey Fenix into the story.

Definitely gaining in popularity with fans of all ages, Penta may be a viable successor to Roman Reigns in order to cause controlled chaos in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship picture.

Having Penta end up besting Reigns in a rematch after their blockbuster on Netflix, perhaps Penta then goes on to take on an interesting new set of opponents.
