Reigns is a world champion again after over two years. The dynamic has shifted since then, and there are several exciting first-time-ever matches that could be possible with the OTC holding the title. However, some of Reigns’ past opponents have grown substantially since then as well, and a rematch would captivate the WWE Universe.

In this listicle, we will look at five Roman Reigns rematches we want to see now that he is the World Heavyweight Champion.

#5. LA Knight

LA Knight and Roman Reigns had a brief rivalry during the latter’s historic 1,316-day title run. They collided for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Crown Jewel 2023, where Knight put on a valiant effort, but failed to dethrone the OTC.

The Megastar received another title opportunity at Royal Rumble 2024 in a Fatal Four-Way Match, also involving AJ Styles and Randy Orton. However, Reigns once again walked away with the title.

Despite questionable booking, Knight has maintained his popularity. The Megastar still receives one of the loudest reactions of the night every time he comes out. Now that Reigns is the World Heavyweight Champion, the Triple H-led creative team should reignite their feud.

The storyline has been set up. LA Knight and The Usos joined forces against The Vision, but The Megastar was not in favor of Jimmy and Jey’s closeness to Roman Reigns. Now that the Samoan twins have joined the OTC, Knight is likely to have an issue with it. This could be the base for a potential Reigns vs. Knight match in the future.

#4. Bronson Reed

Roman Reigns’ feud with The Vision saw him lock horns with Bronson Reed. They faced off on two consecutive premium live events. Reigns defeated Reed in a singles match at Clash in Paris, and The Aus-zilla got his revenge at Crown Jewel: Perth, defeating the OTC in an Australian Street Fight.

A rubber match between them is pending, and Reed is seemingly interested in it. Although the Australian powerhouse is currently sidelined with an injury, he sent a message to Roman Reigns following his World Heavyweight Championship victory at WrestleMania 42.

On X, he posted the following after Reigns won the World Heavyweight Championship.

“Congrats… uce. The way I see it. Give me a few months, we still got a rubber match.”

A rematch between Reigns and Reed for the World Heavyweight Championship would be fantastic for The Aus-zilla’s career.

#3. Jey Uso

During Roman Reigns’ previous run as world champion, he battled Jey Uso multiple times. In fact, Jey was one of his first rivals in the early stages of his iconic run as The Tribal Chief. Reigns dominated Uso at Clash of Champions 2020.

Main Event Jey received a rematch at Hell in a Cell 2020, but this time, in a Hell in a Cell “I Quit” Match. The OTC once again came out on top, hurting an injured Jimmy Uso to force Jey into quitting.

After quitting The Bloodline, Jey once again challenged Reigns in a Tribal Combat at SummerSlam 2023, but fell short. The YEET Master should receive another shot at the OTC now that the latter is the World Heavyweight Champion. However, this time, roles should be reversed.

Since Reigns is now a babyface/tweener, Jey should turn heel and challenge him.

#2. CM Punk

CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42 will go down as one of the greatest matches in WWE history. The rivalry was deeply personal, and their battle reflected it. Their story has depth, and there is more material to work with. So, if WWE considers running it back, fans would likely be into it.

The Second City Saint should get a rematch against the OTC for the World Heavyweight Championship. Punk isn’t someone who would sit around waiting for an opportunity. He knows how to ruffle some feathers to get what he wants. Therefore, another program between Punk and Reigns would be exciting.

#1. Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns

Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns have been intertwined since their time in The Shield. Their relationship has taken quite a few turns over the years. That said, The Visionary played a key role in Reigns losing the Undisputed WWE Championship two years ago.

Rollins believes Reigns is a tyrant. The Architect must be irate seeing the OTC win the World Heavyweight Championship again. Rollins vs. Reigns is one of the most layered stories in modern wrestling, and it deserves to main event a WrestleMania with the world title on the line.
