Tribal Chief Roman Matches You Wish Had Happened

[sarkerpolseng]

Roman has a good chance of losing his titles at WM this year.  Is there anyone you wished he had faced in this run, but didn't?  I wish Shea,us would have had a program with him, when Sheamus was having banger after banger after banger.

I am surprised Orton and Reigns didn't have really any interactions.

Full on face Seth vs Heel Roman. They had so many chances

Roman Reigns vs. Bobby Lashley.

Orton not getting a 1 on 1 title shot during this Roman reign is weird although it was supposed to happen at Summerslam 2022 before he got hurt and I think it was the original plan to happen this year at the Rumble too before they switched it up and added Knight and Styles to it.

I still think that was the wrong call not to do it at the Rumble. Reigns v Orton would've felt bigger than that 4 way and Knight and Styles would've added even more starpower to the actual Rumble match. I think the reasoning was probably that Randy had just returned and they didn't want him pinned yet but when you listen to the reactions he gets every week I think Orton is clearly at the stage of his career when he's always going to be mega over. Him taking a pin wouldn't have hurt him in any way. Hell he just took a dirty pin from Drew at EC then got bigger reactions than ever on the next Smackdowns.

Lol. I completely forgot they actually did feud a few months ago. Just not 1 v 1. Same with AJ.

I know he won the Universal Title from The Fiend in a Triple Threat match with Braun Strowman but I wish he had a proper feud with both of them as the Tribal Chief.

[Push R Truth]

If Roman's gotta squash somebody for years might as well let him unload on a dude with no charisma like Austin Theory.

[Bang Bang Bart]

Roman vs. Chad Gable would've been a cool mini-program. The stuff they've done with Gable vs. Gunther could've served as a nice template for it.

Shinsuke is a joke now, but that 2018 Rumble finish was great between Roman and him.

[Lizuka #BLM]

Lowkey a dream match of mine is Roman vs. Rhea. Just go crazy with the run-ins and let her have him on the ropes via excessive amounts of cheating, doesn't even need to win.

[schma]

Given all the people he made look like chumps over his reign? Nah I'm good.

Shinsuke would have looked like less of a bitch if he actually had taken on Roman in 2022.

The Fiend. I don't know where this myth came from that guys came out worse after feuds with him.

Orton. It was supposed to happen at Summer Slam, but Orton got injured.

I know Moxley is in AEW, but a Shield Triple Threat could main event WrestleMania.

They really shouldn't have wasted that at battleground. That should have been the main event of mania 33.

I mean just looking through the list of people who faced the Fiend on PPV...

Balor: Went to NXT and floundered for awhile before his heel turn.

Rollins: Got demoted from top face to midcard heel.

Bryan: Basically just got his ass beat at every turn and completely demoted to a nothing midcarder for the next two years.

Goldberg and Cena: Worked out fine for them I guess but being part-timers at best it's not like they had a lot of ground to lose.

Strowman: The idea of him as a main-eventer might have actually stuck if his title reign didn't entirely consist of Bray obsessively going on about how they used to be friends for months.

Roman: They interacted for like 30 seconds, not sure that even counts.

Orton: He went from having just been WWE Champion when it started to in a throw-together midcard tag team when it finished, though being fair ultimately that kind of worked out well for him.

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

Gunther & Roman would have been a spectacle.

I mean, he faced a lot of people lol.

One with Kenny Omega.

The Tribal Chief vs. A Wrestling God. Roman Reigns vs. JBL.

[Doo Doo is Worse Than WCW 2000]

There's a sick part of me that would've liked to see how Roman vs. Karrion Kross would've gone.
