3 Possible Opponents For Roman Reigns At WWE Crown Jewel 2023
WWE fans, it’s time to gear up! After the heart-pounding action at Fastlane 2023, WWE is all set for its next major event, the Crown Jewel 2023, in Saudi Arabia. This pay-per-view show promises the presence of many of our favorite WWE superstars. And guess what? Roman Reigns, the WWE Universal Champion, will be making his big return!
At SummerSlam 2023, we witnessed an epic battle between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso. The stakes were sky-high with the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on the line. In a dramatic turn of events, Jimmy Uso intervened, betraying his twin brother Jey. Reigns, the ever-opportunistic champion, seized this moment and overcame Jey, keeping his title.
But since then, Reigns has been missing from our screens. As the excitement builds for Crown Jewel 2023, the biggest question remains: who will challenge Roman Reigns? Here are the 3 possible superstars that could challenge Roman Reigns for Crown Jewel 2023.
First on the list is AJ Styles. It’s no secret that AJ Styles and Roman Reigns have history. The two collided in 2016 for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, not once but twice, at Payback and Extreme Rules. Though Styles put up a great fight, Roman’s strength, coupled with the support of The Bloodline, saw him emerging victorious on both occasions. But things are heating up again. A recent episode of SmackDown saw Styles getting entangled with The Bloodline. Originally, Styles was all set to team up with John Cena at Fastlane. However, an unexpected attack by Jimmy and Sikoa left him injured and out of the match. But knowing the resilience of AJ Styles, it won’t be long before he makes his presence felt. And what better way than to face Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2023?
Next, we have Damian Priest, the current holder of the Money in the Bank contract. This contract gives the holder a chance to challenge the champion at any time of their choosing. Damian has been playing mind games for a while now, making everyone guess when he’ll cash in. He almost went for it against Seth Rollins at Fastlane 2023, but a timely intervention by Rhea Ripley due to his knee injury put those plans on hold. Damian Priest’s recent loss of the tag team title, which he held alongside Finn Balor, has put him in a position where he might be hungry for some singles gold. Challenging Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel could be the perfect opportunity for him. Given his unpredictability, Damian might just surprise the WWE Universe by cashing in his contract at the event.
Last, but certainly not least, is LA Knight. Anyone who watched Crown Jewel 2022 knows how popular LA Knight has become among the fans. His charisma, in-ring skills, and ability to engage the audience have made him a force to be reckoned with in WWE. In the brief time he’s been on the scene, Knight has managed to establish himself as a top-tier talent. The WWE Universe witnessed LA Knight’s prowess at Fastlane 2023 when he teamed up with Cena and pinned Jimmy Uso. This victory, though significant, could be just the tip of the iceberg for what’s to come for Knight. With rumors swirling about WWE’s grand plans for him, the stage is set for a potential showdown with Roman Reigns. Imagine a storyline where LA Knight recalls his past Crown Jewel experience and speaks about his missed opportunity. But now, he has a shot at redemption and a chance to battle for the most coveted title in sports entertainment in Saudi Arabia on November 4.
In conclusion, Roman Reigns is undeniably a formidable champion, having fended off numerous challengers in the past. However, with superstars like AJ Styles, Damian Priest, and LA Knight possibly stepping up, the Tribal Chief might have his hands full.
