Roman Reigns next WWE World Heavyweight Championship challenger after Money In The Bank: Four stars to potentially challenge The OTC

WWE

At WWE Money In The Bank 2026, Roman Reigns defeated LA Knight to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

“The OTC” can now turn his attention to new challengers for his title moving forward.

From former champions to Money In The Bank winners, there could be a line of contenders coming after Reigns in the near future.

Here are four next potential WWE World Heavyweight Championship challengers for Roman Reigns after Money In The Bank.

Penta

On the September 14 episode of WWE Raw, Roman Reigns defeated Penta to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

The week following, Penta said that he wanted a rematch against “The OTC” after coming up short in his hometown of Mexico City.

At WWE Money In The Bank 2026, Penta captured the Men’s Money In The Bank contract.

Now that Penta has a guaranteed title shot at any time of his choosing, this could set the stage for a rematch with Reigns before long.

Royce Keys

In August, Royce Keys made his return and introduced OTM’s Lucien Price and Bronco Nima as his new running mates in the 946 faction.

Since then, Keys, Price and Nima have run roughshod over The Bloodline and anyone else who gets in their way.

Most recently, 046 also added Jaida Parker who ran down Roman Reigns’ cousin Jacob Fatu with a vehicle.

Considering the threat that 946 has been to The Bloodline in recent months. Keys should have already put himself in line to go after Reigns’ World Heavyweight Championship soon.

Drew McIntyre

Following WWE WrestleMania 42, Drew McIntyre has been away from the company for several months.

McIntyre has been someone who has always been an enemy to The Bloodline for years now.

Recent reports have indicated that “The Scottish Warrior” is set to make his return to Monday Night Raw.

This could see McIntyre returning to go directly at Roman Reigns and challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship in the near future.

Oba Femi

At WWE Night of Champions 2026, Oba Femi defeated Jey Uso to win the King of the Ring Final.

Thanks to this win, “The Ruler” was promised a guaranteed shot at the world title of his choosing at WWE SummerSlam 2026. However, Femi chose to forgo this opportunity to settle the score with Brock Lesnar inside Hell In A Cell at the PLE.

On the WWE Money In The Bank 2026 post show, Femi once again called out Roman Reigns and said that it’s about time for them to meet.

Whether it be now or wait until WrestleMania 43, it feels like Femi clashing with Reigns over the World Heavyweight Championship is inevitable.
