We've heard who it might be.
But if you had your way, which opponent would be next for Roman? Zayn isn't in the poll for now as he wouldn't be the next challenger anyways. And Cody would be Mania or after as a challenger.
He's gone through all these guys during his title reign, so it has to be a fresh opponent:
Stacked Victims:
"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt
Braun Strowman
Jey Uso (2 times)
Drew McIntyre (2 times)
Kevin Owens (2 times)
Daniel Bryan (4 times) - Gone from WWE
Edge (2 times)
Cesaro - Gone from WWE
Rey Mysterio
John Cena - Gone back to Hollywood
Finn Balor
The Demon
Brock Lesnar (3 times)
Big E
Sami Zayn
Seth Rollins
Goldberg - Gone from WWE
Riddle
Logan Paul
The list is getting severely thin for the next opponent.

Sheamus would be a good choice I think.

I really, really hope his next program isn't with Mr Carcass.

I would say Cody but he's still injured.

I don't know why WWE is so hesitant to do Lashley vs. Roman. Hasn't been done since 2018. They are even at 1-1.
Roman and Lashley as these versions haven't met yet and if they did it would be a banger.

I would like it to be Seth. The last match ended in a DQ. And now you have an almost full blown face Seth. Now is the opportunity to do heel Roman vs Face Seth

It is absolutely clear that the Bloodline is so overpowered at this point that it will have to collapse from within in order to get the belts off Roman.
The problem is that, like with Lesnar, the pool of potential kingslayers has become so shallow that the storylines on both Raw and Smackdown are either a) moving on as if there is no champion or b) an exercise in futility to build anyone up towards the championship. Unlike with Hogan, Roman does not have a foil in a rival manager with a stable of possible kingslayers the way Heenan was - Heyman is Heenan now. Roman is what happened when a King Kong Bundy or an Andre won the title - only, Roman doesn't really need Heyman the way one of Heenan's guys needed him.
I get that the road for the Bloodline is very likely to end at Wrestlemania. The question is who, among the myriad talents he's already sent back to the locker room, is going to be the man to do it.

It should be Gunther one day but not until the company are ready for Gunther to be world champion. Out of the choices I would go with AJ. But I’m thinking Sheamus or even Rollins would be better. Edit: I didn’t see Lashley’s name at first & now I wish I’d chosen him!!

Braun Strowman.
Nobody's gonna care if he gets smushed.

Solo? I can see him getting tired of Roman saying that he has beat everybody, but has never faced Solo.

As tired as I am of Roman/Brock....I do think a triple threat with Lashley would slap hard.
Barring that, definitely Roman/AJ

Hoping Sheamus gets a title shot on Smackdown at some point since I don’t think he will get one on PPV before Mania.

As a slight aside, it's insane to me that during this reign in particular, not only did Roman not beat Seth Rollins, that thread hasn't been brought up in the past 11 months besides kayfabe interviews away from WWE by Seth and they haven't tried to do the match again at any other point this year.
Like...it's such an easy story to bring back up. And it wasn't like allegiances mattered, they were both heels at the Rumble!

The rumor is it was going to be KO vs. Roman at Rumble but now it’ll be Sheamus/Roman. Either match is good.

Seth being tied up with Cody and Riddle for most of the year kind of took him out of consideration. It was probably for the best, because I could see Seth/Roman being a post-Mania feud that doesn’t involve the title. |

I also sort of think they don't want to do KO/Roman again at a Rumble after doing it at last year's Rumble show because it sort of comes off that there aren't many fresh people left. Sheamus at least puts out the idea that there are some matches you can do left before some combination of Cody/Rock/Sami happens. |
