However, at Clash in Italy, Reigns exposed not one, but three turnbuckles to punish Fatu. In the end, The Head of the Table speared The Samoan Werewolf through a table, followed by another charged spear to secure the win. That said, with Fatu in the rear-view mirror, Reigns will now prepare for his next challenger.

WWE may not waste any time beginning Reigns’ next program, as his next challenger could step up to him on the upcoming episode of the flagship show. This listicle will look at four WWE Superstars who could step up to Roman Reigns on the RAW after Clash in Italy.

#4. Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar had seemingly retired after losing to Oba Femi at WrestleMania 42. However, The Beast Incarnate was not ready to call it quits in that manner. He shockingly returned and attacked Femi a few weeks ago, setting up a rematch at Clash in Italy.

On Sunday, Lesnar and Femi put on another physical bout that ended with The Beast Incarnate getting his revenge over The Ruler by defeating him. However, it was far from easy. It took seven F-5s from the former UFC Champion to finally put away the Nigerian powerhouse.

That said, momentum is with Lesnar now, and he could use the major win over Femi to move into the world title picture. With Paul Heyman in his corner, it wouldn’t be hard for The Beast Incarnate to get a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns.

Moreover, the next WWE Premium Live Event is Night of Champions, set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabian events are known to feature high-profile matches on the card, and Lesnar vs. Reigns for the World Heavyweight Title fits that criteria perfectly.

The Beast and the OTC have feuded several times throughout the last decade. Last year, WWE teased a program between Lesnar and Reigns ahead of Survivor Series: WarGames, but it hasn’t materialized yet.

That said, now that Roman Reigns has put away Fatu and Lesnar has gotten his revenge over Femi, the bitter rivals could finally collide for the World Heavyweight Championship, possibly at Night of Champions. WWE could kickstart the next chapter of their feud on the upcoming episode of RAW, where Lesnar may confront Reigns.

#3. Royce Keys

Royce Keys was the only ally Jacob Fatu had during his feud with The Bloodline. Keys and Fatu have known each other since their time on the independent circuit, and their connection was featured on WWE television. Keys encouraged and motivated Fatu on numerous occasions.

Now that The Samoan Werewolf has been forced to fall in line, his friend, Keys, could come to Fatu’s rescue. The erstwhile Powerhouse Hobbs could step up to Roman Reigns and challenge him for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Interestingly, seeds for this feud may have been planted already. After defeating Fatu, Reigns addressed his future on the post-show in an interview with Cathy Kelley. The OTC put Royce Keys and LA Knight on notice for their recent comments on The Bloodline.

Keys has acknowledged Reigns’ warning on social media, and he could respond to it in person on the upcoming episode of RAW.

#2. Solo Sikoa

After Roman Reigns defeated Jacob Fatu at Clash in Italy, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Talla Tonga were seen in the crowd, watching The Samoan Werewolf being forced to fall in line behind The Bloodline. Sikoa looked disappointed in Fatu.

The Samoan Werewolf single-handedly took out the MFTs ahead of Backlash. The Street Champion’s presence at Clash in Italy teased a future program. Sikoa could step up to the OTC on this week’s RAW and perhaps explain why he was at Clash in Italy.

#1. LA Knight could challenge Roman Reigns

LA Knight has been vocal against The Bloodline since the faction’s reunion post-WrestleMania 42. The Megastar has even declared his entry in the King of the Ring Tournament and has vowed to win it and challenge Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam.

The Usos have warned Knight to stay out of The Bloodline business, and during the Clash in Italy post-show, Reigns also put The Megastar on notice.

“I don’t really think it matters what it means for me, what does it mean for anyone else? “LA Knight, Royce Keys, this goes for any of you chumps out there, you wanna run your mouth about the Tribal Chief? You wanna run your mouth about my family? You’re terrified of this Bloodline ain’t you? “I’ve been a general, I’ve been had an army. I’m trying to do this the right way, I’m trying to shine a light on my legacy, but you keep forcing my hand. Keep on trying me, I run it all, forever,” he said. (H/T: WrestleTalk on X)

The Megastar could confront Roman Reigns and respond to his comments on this week’s episode of RAW.
