Will Roman Reigns Hold the WWE Championship Until WrestleMania 32?

Should Roman Reigns be holding the WWE World Heavyweight Championship until WrestleMania 32?

Two nights ago on WWE Raw, Roman Reigns was placed in a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match against Sheamus. If Roman lost, he would be fired.

After a long, grueling match that included Vince McMahon trying to screw him out of the title, Roman Reigns became the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by pinning Sheamus.

This was the culmination of Reigns’ path to the title throughout 2015. From the Royal Rumble win to beating Daniel Bryan, to losing to Seth Rollins and being screwed out of the title multiple times, Reigns finally got his moment. The fans were behind him too, the same ones in Philadelphia who earlier this year booed him and The Rock out of the Wells Fargo Center. It was an amazing moment.

There’s still four months left until WrestleMania 32, though. We still have two pay-per-views in between in WWE Royal Rumble and WWE Fastlane. Plus there are fifteen episodes of Raw remaining before the Show of Shows on Apr. 3. It means anything could happen between now and then.

So will Reigns be holding the title until WrestleMania 32?

Of course.

Seeing Reigns not walking into AT&T Stadium with the title would be stunning. After all the work WWE has put into his character for the past eighteen months, he probably will main event WrestleMania 32. Anything else would be shocking.

However, it’s more of who he will face than anything.

There are not many healthy WWE stars worthy of headlining a WrestleMania. The person has to be big enough of a draw to sell out a 100,00 seat stadium and be a believable opponent.

The favorite right now seems to be a WrestleMania 31 rematch of Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar except with the roles reversed (and no Money in the Bank briefcase). Nobody has been able to pin the Beast Incarnate in over two years and some would think he has a shot of taking away the belt from Roman. Despite being the champion, the former Shield man would be the underdog of the match.

The other intriguing option here is Triple H, who was viciously attacked by Reigns at WWE TLC on Sunday. One would think The Game wants some revenge, right?

This would require Hunter entering the Royal Rumble and winning. This would be seen as a questionable move given his age while taking away a spot from someone else. However, the roster is thin with main event talent, so this could be a possibility.

More than likely, Roman Reigns will walk into WrestleMania 32 with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. It is more about who dances with him in the ring under the bright lights, though.
