10 Best Candidates To Supplant Seth Rollins As WWE Champion

4. Roman Reigns

Poor Roman Reigns. It seems the man deemed most likely to bag the WWE Title first upon the disbanding of The Shield could actually end up being the last. Seth Rollins has the title, Dean Ambrose has the fans, yet Reigns has been left out in the cold somewhat, after initially looking to be the most over member of the infamous faction.

It seems only a matter of time before Roman will capture the WWE World Heavyweight Title, but the company made a smart move by not shoehorning the belt onto him at WrestleMania. It wasn’t really the right time, and the ‘Money In The Bank’ cash in from Rollins gave creative the perfect out to prevent them from having to book either Brock Lesnar or Reigns to lose in the main event.

So, when exactly can Roman Reigns expect to haul that belt around in his luggage? He’s behind quite a few on this list in terms of realistically being the one to end Seth’s title run, but he should never be counted out as a potential champion. WWE are biding their time with the big man, burned a little by a frosty fan reception to his push, but recognising that he could still be a big star. If Rollins can hold on to the gold for another few months, there’s every chance that Reigns could be one of his next contenders.
