Who could be an actual proper babyface challenger for Rome Reigns?

[010101]

otis

seriously

he has such a unique set of attributes

320+ legit amateur background could fold all the title holders in real life

at the same time he has a look personality that's comedy

having someone that can pull the legit monster role & be cartoonish family friendly if called for

all lanes covered

the crowd was rocking with him before the alpha.academy switch up

would be a interesting heyman guy

i would call the swerve of all swerves for the next angle

have heyman caught out in the cold

both brock & reigns want him stepped on

he has to find some new muscle but it looks like he's cornered

boom the #1 comes through for the fix ha

Hmmm not a bad idea.

I think it would be better if he squashed Rock and then lost to Kofi.

Yeah naw

Reigns/Roman needs to be drawn out and dramatic. I’m currently building up to that matchup in 2k19, Rock is basically the big bro in the Bloodline.

 

[HoldThisL]

Honestly anybody with a good storyline attached to the feud .

All the feuds Roman Reigns was in they all had a chance to beat him and be a proper babyface.

 

[InstantKlassik]

The company has zero stars. So nobody

The promo production team

They don't have a face challenger lined up. And I will NEVER understand why a heel can't challenge another heel. If you don't want to be champion, what are you doing?

It tends to come across dead with the crowd, because they could both just get booed the whole time... or it might end up turning one babyface. Either way, it's not usually the response they're lookin' to get. Face vs face works a lot better live than heel vs heel.

Yeah this is fire. Have Heyman be the midas touch guy too.

I would still have Roman beefing with three people you want to have next. And try to write for a long Roman reign. Whoever can get over enough gets it.

I probably would have had Big E cash in for a real ppv match and lose, but get screwed over. Have Big E stalk Roman all year for the rematch.

 

[Leonard Washington]

Its Kang Woods time do it Vince

 

[Jello Biafra]

Big E would've been a good choice if they didn't move him over to Raw.

Of the new Smackdown roster I could see successful programs resulting in any of these guys taking the belt from Roman:

Jeff Hardy (fans still love him and it would be cool to see Jeff overcome the odds and become world champ one last time before leaving WWE)
Kofi Kingston (former champ who has never really been given the respect that a former champ should be given; him winning the belt would also be popular with fans)
Xavier Woods (has the ready made storyline of trying to hit the trifecta for New Day members becoming world champ; could use him winning King of the Ring to be the catapult into the title picture)

But we all know they are going to have boring ass Drew McIntyre be the guy to take the belt from Roman and it will suck.

 

[Peter Popoff]

Sami Zayn.

 

[KateFabersBoyfriend]

Gable

 

[Da_Eggman]

If they really went with it Sami can be the ultimate underdog and baby face

I just doubt Vince ever sees that

 

[Redguard]

Nobody.

It's going to end up being McIntyre however I thought Balor and especially Edge could've gotten it done

 

[Reggie]

It's sad that they have no legit NEW babyface challengers that they have developed over the last couple of years. The whole time Reigns has been on this run they should have been building up a challenger for the title. But we know Vince is just winging it at this time with nothing probably thought out long term.
