Backstage News On Roman Reigns Challenger After WrestleMania
Roman Reigns might be facing his toughest challenge yet after WrestleMania.
The Tribal Chief picked up a big victory in the main event of the Show of Shows, defeating CM Punk to win his 7th World championship in the company. Reigns then proclaimed that he will be a full-time champion and told fans to get ready to see him through the summer.
The company teased a rivalry between the new champion and Oba Femi after the PPV, but they indicated that it'll be some time before these two come face to face. With this revelation comes the question of who could be stepping up to Roman in the immediate future.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer provided an update on the plans for Roman Reigns after WrestleMania. He noted that the idea is for Gunther to challenge the Head of the Table in coming times:
"The plan is Roman Reigns as champion against Gunther, that was as of a week ago, midweek even. I don’t think it’s for Backlash, maybe SummerSlam, maybe something else."
After retiring both John Cena and AJ Styles in the last few months, the Ring General picked up another big victory at WrestleMania. He defeated Seth Rollins with some help from a returning Bron Breakker.
The win gives him momentum to go after the title he previously held for 258 days in 2024. How WWE kicks off this rivalry remains to be seen. Reigns has confirmed that he will be at Raw tomorrow, so it's likely we will get some answers on the Red Branded Show.
