Following this weekend’s WWE Money In The Bank show, WWE once again gave us a tease for a match between Roman Reigns and Oba Femi.
Femi was victorious over Bronson Reed on the show, before he would appear on the post-show to once again call out Roman Reigns.
With the match seemingly set for WrestleMania 43 next year, here are more potential World Championship matches for the show.
Roman Reigns vs. Oba Femi
Oba Femi called out Roman Reigns after WWE WrestleMania 42, and again following WWE Money In The Bank
Money In The Bank is not the first time that Oba has called out Roman, with him doing so directly after WrestleMania 42, when Oba defeated Brock Lesnar and Reigns won the World Heavyweight Championship.
Reigns initially told Oba to ‘see how he does over the Summer’, though SummerSlam came and went without the two facing off, even after winning the King of the Ring Tournament.
With the teases continuing, Roman vs. Oba seems basically confirmed for WrestleMania.
Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton
Although Cody Rhodes retained the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42, Randy Orton was the last man standing
This year’s WrestleMania main event saw WWE finally run the major match between Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton, though it was marred by meddling from TKO.
Cody and Randy’s rivalry has continued without Pat McAfee recently, with it being a lot better received by fans.
WWE could look to ‘amend’ last year’s main event by running back Cody and Randy next year, possibly with a double turn involved.
Heel Cody Rhodes vs. CM Punk
Though Cody and Randy’s feud is currently ongoing, it may not have enough juice to make it all the way to WrestleMania next year.
WWE recently did another teaser for a rematch between Cody and CM Punk on SmackDown, but if the rematch does take place, one of the two should probably turn this time around.
Cody embracing his dark side ahead of WrestleMania, taking the title and defending against Punk in Riyadh seems like the move.
Liv Morgan vs. Roxanne Perez
At Money in the Bank, many viewed Roxanne Perez as the favourite to win the briefcase to set up a match with Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship.
Though Roxanne didn’t end up winning the case, Liv did regain the title on the show, with the title now back in the Judgment Day.
It’s hard to trust WWE to have a longer term plan at play here, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Stephanie Vaquer vs. Becky Lynch
Despite Liv regaining the Women’s World Championship, most fans have pinpointed the night they believe that Liv will drop the title, that being the upcoming Raw in Dublin.
Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer have been butting heads since both returned following SummerSlam, with WWE clearly teasing the big singles match between the two.
Becky winning the title in Dublin to defend against Stephanie at WrestleMania would be an obvious play.
Rhea Ripley vs. IYO SKY
Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY’s WWE Evolution match ended with Naomi cashing in Money In The Bank
Despite Chelsea Green and Tiffany Stratton being the immediate future of the WWE Women’s Championship, Rhea Ripley’s shadow lurks over the division on SmackDown.
When Rhea is ready to make her return, she will have her sights set on the title that she never lost, leading to a major match for the belt at WrestleMania.
While there is no obvious opponent for Rhea on the current SmackDown roster, next year may finally be the year they run the next match between Rhea and IYO SKY, with IYO winning either the Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber to move over to SmackDown.
