Who would be your favorite choice to dethrone Roman Reigns?

[hijuko]

In my opinion, since we have no confirmation that Cody will be back for the 2023 Rumble. Might as well play it safe and make McIntyre win at Clash of the Castle. It could put over McIntyre who would win the titles this time in front of an crowd.
And since Reigns is apparently on a part-timer regime now, we might as well be a present champion for the rest of the year.

Split the titles.. Drew Mac takes the WWE Championship and it can bounce to a heel that Cody takes it from eventually. Bobby Lashley takes the Universal.

[Push R Truth]

Roman does an open challenge in the ring for the titles. R Truth appears and beats Roman in 18 seconds to become our NEW Undisputed Champion.

Sami. But he’d be to be written off after a bloodline beat down and return rumble time as a face

[4real]

Drew. Because I’m going to be there live at CATC and I’m British. I just can’t imagine the reaction if he loses.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

Cody. Drew doesn't need it, Austin Theory isn't even close to ready and I feel anyone else who is ready would be a waste.

[J is Justice]

I mean... Butch. Realistically, though, I would've liked Bobby. Drew should win at the Castle, though.

DREW.

Reigns run has bee running on fumes for ages now.

[Mozenrath]

Cody winning the WWE title off of him would be great. Universal title, even after the long wait, would be much less sense.

He doesn't need the title if they ever do get Rock for a match, but if he does, just have Roman win the damn thing back. Drew hasn't had the Universal yet, so have him win that.

Split the titles. Roman drops the Universal to Drew at CATC. Somehow Seth ends up with the WWE World and a returning Cody beats him at Mania.

Rock/Roman doesn't need the title and honestly I think there'd be more drama in the match if Roman isn't champ.

I’d have Seth win at Day 1 2023 to set up the Cody match.

Cody. Definitely a story with Bloodline vs “wresting has more than one royal family.”

[hashtagdaley/JudasDay]

Anyone needs to take the WWE Title off of him ASAP. I don’t care who, even Kross. Make it a triple threat where someone pins someone who isn’t Roman so he keeps UKTRA STRONG for his 700+ day other title that matters more.

Cody ends the Universal reign 100%

[Numero Dos]

I went with Drew. I’d be happy to see Cody win it I just don’t want Roman to hold the title long enough until Cody gets back as I’m over his reign (no pun intended) now. Maybe the best thing would be for them to split the titles and Drew wins one in Cardiff and Cody the other at Mania.

Said before, have Drew take one of the titles at Clash, do it as screwy as you need to protect Roman if you have some other end game for that story, but get the WWE title over to Drew. I'd probably have a situation where Roman gets DQ'ed at Clash, Drew is able to beat him down after the match to the point we get the cash in by Theory, have Theory win, then immediately have Drew challenge Theory, have HHHunter come out to get a UK pop to say that match is now, Drew beats Theory. Drew ends the show with both titles and the UK crowd go home super happy.

Then you have Heyman on Raw say the cash in only stated one title, so Drew only gets one and Roman gets the other back. Drew takes WWE, Roman gets the Universal title back and that reign is acknowledged as unbroken.

Drew can lose the belt to Seth at the Rumble, which is where Cody returns and wins said Rumble, so he can go after Seth to finish their feud for good and finally have a Rhodes as WWE champion.

Cody but it has to be the WWE Championship. That's where the story is.

[The Thread Barbi]

Other. Papa H does a deal with AEW and Mox dethrones Roman in 2024.

I can't believe Karrion Kross didn't get his own option.

Came to say this. It truly feels like Kross will be the chosen one.
