Some new reports have come out regarding plans for Roman Reigns, so we’ll see what was
reported there.
We’ll also take a look at the latest on John Cena’s return, Toni Storm’s comment
and more
Let’s start things off with this massive Roman Reigns report for the future of his
title reign
Roman’s title reign is quickly approaching 600 days
It’s the longest title reign in modern day WWE history
It’s still pretty crazy to think that Roman won that universal title in Summer 2020 and
is still champion to current day
Well fast forward to current day, 600 days later, and the popular question that keeps
popping up now is: “who will dethrone Roman Reigns for the title?”
There are three popular guesses by the fans.
Those guesses being Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes, or someone completely new and young like Bron
Breaker
And all three of those superstars have a great story and chance to realistically dethrone
Roman Reigns
Like we talked about a few days ago with Drew McIntyre, Drew never got to be WWE champion
in front of a live crowd and he’s been looking strong lately, so he has a great case to knock
Roman off
Cody Rhodes just came back and already laid out his plan to one day capture the WWE title
for his father, so he has a great case
And someone young like Bron Breaker can instantly be established as a star if he’s the one
that goes down in the history books as the one to end Roman’s historically long title
reign
So all three men have a great case to be the one to knock Roman off the the throne
But according to newer reports, don’t expect Roman Reigns to lose that universal title
anytime soon
Reports claim that there are absolutely zero plans and zero discussion going on right now
in regards to Roman dropping the universal title
It’s not something that’s even being thought about and isn’t something that we’ll see
anytime soon at all
Roman as universal champion is here to stay
Of course Roman is currently the unified champion and it hasn’t been made clear yet how WWE
plans to handle that situation
Will he defend both at the same time or will he defend them separately?
We don’t really know that quite yet
But if he defends it separately, maybe WWE can come up with a way for Roman to drop the
WWE title without being pinned or submitted
So even if they do that and he does lose the WWE title in the near future, the Universal
Title still doesn’t seem to be going anywhere
That’s the title that really matters here, that’s the title that has the long historic
reign attached to it, so regardless of what happens to the WWE title, the Universal Title
is what will remain with Roman Reigns
The reports go onto say that the idea of Roman holding onto the Universal Title for a another
full calendar year and facing The Rock at Wrestlemania 39 is a realistic possibility
and something they could end up doing if The Rock does agree to do that match
Another full colander year as champion, Roman Reigns would be approaching 1000 days as champion
at that point
It was also reported that Roman will easily win that matchup with The Rock and that’s
when WWE will start pushing the storyline narrative of Roman Reigns truly being the
goat, the greatest of all time
Now Roman already refers to himself as the greatest of all time, but if he really does
goes over 1000 days as champion and picks up a Wrestlemania win over The Rock, it looks
like that goat narrative will be hammered and showcased even more in Roman’s story
by then
Everyone is already having a hard time thinking of someone’s thats worthy enough to take
down Roman Reigns right now in current day, so imagine how hard it’ll be to think of
someone to dethrone him a year from now coming off a Wrestlemania win over The Rock
If all this goes down that same exact way with the 1000 plus days as champion and a
seventh Wrestlemania main event with a win over The Rock, it seems that the question
after that will be if Roman Reigns is just retiring as Universal champion?
Obviously not, Roman will lose the title eventually, but if you’re talking about another calendar
year as champion and main eventing Wrestlemania with The Rock… it’s just gonna get more
and more difficult to think of a name that’s worthy of ending a title reign of 1000 plus
days
But you never know, all of those events are a full year away from happening, so if WWE
starts prepping and grooming whoever it is right now to dethrone Roman Reigns, then maybe
everything will make more sense down the line next year
But that’s the latest on Roman Reigns’ title reign at the moment
Doesn’t seem like an end is coming for Roman’s title reign anytime soon

John Cena is also back in the headlines for a rumored WWE return
Reports claim that a late June return for John Cena seems to be taking place
The reports didn’t have any details or information on what John Cena would exactly be doing for
this return, all they had was the timeframe of this summer
So if that John Cena return turns out to be true, best guess is that he can definitely
play a role at this year’s Summerslam
Summerslam will be on July 30th this year, so if Cena does return during late June or
early July, that may give him some time to start something up for Summerslam
Last time we saw Cena was at last year’s Summerslam and that 2021 return was very similar
to this new rumored 2022 return
Cena returned in July, appeared for a few weeks, and then had the big Summerslam match
and story with Roman Reigns
So just by the sounds of this return alone, it would appear that it’ll be similar to
what we saw last year from Cena
He returns for a few weeks and has this big Summerslam matchup
At this point in his career, John Cena doesn’t have that many matches a year anymore, so
they would have to make the most out of this return and find him a huge opponent to face
Some fans were suggesting Edge and John Cena to have one last match
A lot of the younger generation of fans grew up on the John Cena and Edge feuds from the
mid 2000s, and like we just saw at Wrestlemania, nostalgia always works with the fans
So seeing one last Edge and John Cena story would be very interesting to see again before
either of them retires for good

Toni Storm left WWE a few months ago and it was all very mysterious at first
She wasn’t technically released by the company, but she basically walked out and quit under
her own power
Toni was in the middle of a title feud with Charlotte Flair, but she says that she just
had to get out of there
Toni had this to say while appearing on Busted Open Radio:
"There was a moment where I realized it wasn't for me.
As much as I might have romanticized it as a child and thought it was my dream and what
I have to accomplish, I just realized, maybe it's not and maybe it's not the place for
me.
Who am I to take someone else's spot that actually wants to be here?
That's not fair.
I'm still going to be a wrestler.”
End quote
So Toni just realized that the WWE life and schedule wasn’t for her and she didn’t
wanna take a spot on the roster when that spot could actually be going to someone that
strongly wants to be in WWE, so that’s what motivated her to make that decision to leave
However, Toni Storm has recently made her AEW debut and will be continuing her career
in AEW, so hopefully great things are still ahead for Toni Storm’s wrestling career
