In the upcoming months, Roman's schedule is likely to be against some of the top stars of the company. His ongoing feud already features two big stars like Punk and Seth.

After the event of all events, Roman's lineup of opponents could be interesting, especially towards the historic Summerslam season.

5 WWE superstars who could challenge Tribal chief after his return

5. The Rock

The Rock has expressed his wish to face Roman Reigns in a singles match at WrestleMania. It is arguably the most anticipated match in WWE for years. The dream nearly became a reality when The People's Champ got a chance to face Roman at WrestleMania XL.

The plans were turned down midway as the fans wanted to see the match between Cody Rhodes and Roman for the world title. At WrestleMania 42, if everything goes well, The Final Boss could be against the OTC in what could be the Match of the Generation.

4. John Cena

John Cena is likely to face Roman Reigns during his Farewell tour as a heel. The Leader of the Cenation Army could be the world champion and The OTC might challenge him for the world title. When Roman finishes his feud with Seth and Punk, this match could happen.

It could take place in a big PLE like Summerslam. 2025 will be a historic Summerslam, as it will be the first time the PLE will pan out for two nights. The Main Event of one of the nights could be the match between Roman and Cena, two of the biggest stars of WWE in the 21st century.

3. Jacob Fatu

Jacob Fatu has been highly 'over' amongst the fans in his short career in the company so far. Fatu is an incredible athlete, great on mic, brilliant in the ring, and is loved by the fans. He has everything it takes to face a star like Roman in a major PLE and in a feud.

WWE has teased their match in a couple of instances. When Fatu goes solo, he could have a feud with Roman. When the Tribal Chief is done with Cena, the feud could take place, which could further lead to a potential Survivor Series War Games later this year.

2. Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins has been troubling Roman Reigns for a long time. But the latest problem for Roman is due to Seth's attack on him after getting eliminated from the Men's Royal Rumble match. Rollins delivered multiple Curb Stomps on the ramp and the steel stairs at the Royal Rumble.

It ensured Roman was out of action for over 5 weeks. When he returned, Roman went straight after Rollins by delivering him a couple of Superman punches and a Curb Stomp. They are likely to be a part of the Triple Threat match along with CM Punk.

1. CM Punk

CM Punk is likely to have a long feud with Roman. Paul Heyman has been sandwiched by two of his guys in the last few months. There could potentially be a feud between thrm even after WrestleMania to get the custody of the Wiseman. Their fued is likely to be interesting.

Roman and the Wiseman owe Punk a favor for helping them to settle the Bloodline business at the Survivor Series. Punk might use it to his advantage whenever needed. Roman returned to WWE Raw and attacked Punk after Heyman looked after him. All these are signs towards a long feud between the two.
