The OTC defeated CM Punk to win the World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania 42. He defeated Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 40 to end his 1316 day World title reign. Therefore, this could lead to a rubber match down the line, and Rhodes could win their feud by once again defeating him to win the World Heavyweight title at a significant WWE PLE.
On the night Roman Reigns won the World title at WrestleMania, McIntyre made his last WWE TV appearance so far. Roman Reigns has been operating on the same level that he was during his three-year-long dominant run as the World Champion. However, there are still some top and rising names in the company who can dethrone Reigns and end his title reign for good. Drew McIntyre began the year strong by dethroning Cody Rhodes and becoming the Undisputed WWE Champion. However, he has been taking his popularity and fame to the next level with major Hollywood projects. He could become the top contender to The OTC’s title upon return, and with his newfound fame and long break, McIntyre could be at his best and finally defeat Reigns in a major singles match. If anyone knows about defeating Roman Reigns in a marquee title match, it is Cody Rhodes. However, the year before, Reigns beat Rhodes at WrestleMania.
Since then, he has been unstoppable and put down various challengers like LA Knight, Seth Rollins, and most recently Sami Zayn.
The one rising star who has called out Roman Reigns since he became the World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 42 is Oba Femi. Moreover, he is rumored to face Reigns in a World title match at WrestleMania 43, and it could be the place where he defeats Reigns and the fans witness the official coronation of Femi as the future of WWE. He has the in-ring skill, momentum, and personality to become a main event player. This could happen at the expense of Roman Reigns. Breakker could build his stock further and then find himself beating Reigns in a title match to cement his status as the next big thing. The Ruler has become the fastest-rising star this year, winning the King of the Ring and having a spectacular feud with Brock Lesnar.
Bron Breakker has been one of the top rising stars in WWE today.
