There’s a lot of great new fan theories for Roman Reigns after he defeated Drew McIntyre,
so we’ll take a look at what the fans are now predicting for Roman.
We’ll also check out some possible directions for Maryse and much more
Let’s start things off by diving back into Roman Reigns’ storyline and title reign
Heading into the Clash At The Castle main event, everyone agreed that for the first
time in a long time, Roman’s title reign actually seemed in legitimate serious danger
He was going up against Drew McIntyre in front of a hometown UK crowd of sixty thousands
fans that were all mostly against him
Some fans even made comparisons to John Cena versus RVD at ECW One Night Stand, that’s
almost the same sort of atmosphere that was going on here
It wasn’t a split crowd at all, you can that 95 percent of the fans were fully behind
Drew McIntyre and didn’t want to see Roman win at all
Even some signs of “If Roman wins, we riot” were spotted in the crowd, which was also
a popular sign that ECW fans had for John Cena back then
So same sort of vibe, Roman was stepping into a hostile crowd that wanted nothing to do
with him
Add with Drew McIntyre feeding off the crowd to gain some momentum, things got scary
And like we’ve been discussing, WWE was throwing out so many hints that Roman’s
title reign was coming to an end that fans started to wonder if they were actually setting
us up for Roman to retain, and that’s exactly what happened
Drew McIntyre had all of these emotional video packages about his entire life.
From growing up, debuting in WWE, getting fired from WWE, returning to WWE… just these
great packages that made you really wanna root for him to win the titles
Then at Clash At The Castle, Drew McIntyre’s classic theme and all time fan favorite theme:
“Broken Dreams” was played before Drew walked out
It was setting up this perfect homecoming for Drew McIntyre and everyone expected Drew
to actually pull it off and win the titles to end Roman’s historically long title reign
Drew would’ve gotten that three count if it wasn’t for Solo Sikoa
Solo stopped the homecoming dream and Roman’s title reign will continue on
Some fans also questioned the strange ending of Tyson Fury getting in the ring and singing
with Drew McIntyre after Drew had lost
Fans speculate that this was done just to send the sixty thousand fans home on a much
lighter and happier note than just walking out after their hometown hero was robbed once
again
So that’s the reason why Tyson got in there and had fun with Drew McIntyre, just to distract
the fans from that gut punch that they had just taken
So now back over to Roman, if Drew McIntyre wasn’t the chosen one to dethrone him, who’s
next and who has the best chance to dethrone him?
Well a new fan theory and prediction that’s going around makes perfect sense
The next man up to possibly dethrone Roman Reigns could now be Cody Rhodes
Cody said it literally on the first edition of Raw that he was on after his return
He said that he wants to win the WWE championship for himself and for his father who never held
that title
Cody took out Seth Rollins a handful of times, but his road to the WWE title was obviously
put on pause by his torn pec
But when Cody eventually returns, fans fully expect him to go right back to that same mission
of climbing back to the WWE title
There’s still no accurate time table for Cody’s return
Some fans think that maybe he’ll be ready by late 2022, some fans think that WWE might
as well hold onto his return and use it for a surprise entrant at Royal Rumble
If Cody Rhodes wins the Royal Rumble match, there goes your Wrestlemania 39 main event
and once again, another extremely scary matchup for Roman Reigns
Now the other rumored Wrestlemania 39 opponent for Roman Reigns is obviously The Rock, but
considering how hard he is to get a hold of, Cody Rhodes definitely seems like the more
realistic option at this point of time
So if Roman holds the Universal Title all the way until night two of Wrestlemania 39,
that’ll put his title reign at 945 days long
Roman will be approaching nearly 1000 consecutive days as champion if he makes to Wrestlemania
39 with his title
And day 945 may be Roman’s last day as champion if Cody Rhodes is able to dethrone him in
the main event of Wrestlemania 39
A historic title reign like Roman’s current one definitely deserves to end on a massive
stage like Wrestlemania to someone of Cody Rhodes’ caliber
That’s the most ideal and perfect end to Roman’s title reign, Cody Rhodes finally
dethroning a near 1000 day long reign to become the new champion at Wrestlemania
So with Clash At The Castle officially marked off, it looks like the next time Roman will
be in serious jeopardy of losing is title could be Wrestlemania 39 itself
So there very well could be several more months left in this current title reign for Roman
Reigns
And with Solo Sikoa now only making The Bloodline stronger, maybe that could be the reason why
Roman will cruise into Wrestlemania season still as universal champion
——————-
Another popular fan theory going around right now is with the Dexter Lumis and Miz storyline
So the current story here is that Dexter Lumis is stalking and haunting The Miz
We don’t know quite yet why he’s coming after The Miz, but all we know is that he
wants him for some reason
Usually when The Miz is involved with a potential big storyline, Maryse will make a few short
appearances on Raw and add a lot to the story
So fans are wondering if Maryse could return to Raw one of these upcoming weeks and suddenly
find herself caught in the crosshairs of Dexter’s attacks on The Miz
How would some appearances from Maryse affect Dexter Lumis’ plan?
Will he switch focus and try to capture Maryse in order to get The Miz’s attention?
We sort of saw a similar situation play out back in summer 2020 where Bray Wyatt used
Alexa Bliss in order to get into Braun Strowman’s head and gain leverage over him
So similar idea here with Dexter Lumis.
Could he use Maryse as leverage over The Miz in order to get whatever it is that he’s
after or wants The Miz to do?
Maybe The Miz is sort of ignoring everything’s that’s going on with Dexter Lumis right
now, but if Dexter forces his hand by getting Maryse involved in the storyline somehow,
then maybe The Miz will finally give in
Obviously, this isn’t a main event storyline and feud, but it definitely is something unique,
different, and unpredictable
So it does seem like a big enough story that deserves Maryse’s presence and she’ll
instantly play a big role in the story
But then again it does hurt the character’s common sense and logic, it’s sort of like
Rey Mysterio in 2020
Rey had Seth Rollins and all of these guys coming after him and doing all these things
to him, yet he continued to bring his full family to Raw every week and put them in harm’s
way
And that obviously made Rey looked a bit goofy because if you know that things aren’t safe
right now on Raw, why do you keep making the same mistake of bringing your entire family
to the show
So you can argue the same sort of logic there for The Miz and Maryse
The Miz is now fully aware that he’s being stalked and watched, so taking that fact into
consideration…
yes, it doesn’t make sense for The Miz to willingly bring his wife to Raw right now
at a time like this
It would be pretty silly of him to bring her onto the show and put her in harm’s way
but on the other hand, if Dexter just appears with Maryse out of nowhere, then that’s
obviously different, that was out of The Miz’s hands
Or if Dexter does take this to another level and try to visit The Miz’s home within the
storyline then that could also be a spot where Maryse doesn’t have much of a choice and
will be forced to be in the middle of everything
So lots of possibilities there with this storyline
