At this time, the
word backstage is that Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt and Bad News Barrett are the
three favorites among Vince McMahon, Triple H, Kevin Dunn and other top
executives. Triple H has been the main guy behind the pushes of The Wyatt
Family, The Shield, Adam Rose and Bo Dallas.
As far as Reigns
goes, plans seem almost locked that his first world title victory will be
special and likely done at a WrestleMania. There are even rumors that his world
title win could take place as soon as WrestleMania 31.
But who could
Reigns work with to make his title win special? The two top names rumored right
now are Brock Lesnar and The Rock. The Rock has previously told Vince McMahon
that he would like to work with Reigns before he officially retires. In terms of
Reigns winning the title, when asked about the Rock returning and possibly
getting the title to make this happen, a source stated the
following…
“Yes, it
would likely happen at Royal Rumble and remember he does technically have a
rematch from when he lost the title to Cena.”
While a lot can
happen between now and WrestleMania 31, it appears that Reigns could be the
babyface that WrestleMania 31 gets built around.
It should also be
noted that as of several weeks ago, there were plans to do a Roman Reigns vs.
Triple H singles feud. A match between the two would likely take place at WWE
SummerSlam .
