6. Seth Rollins

While Seth Rollins has been out of action due to injury since his bout against Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown Jewel Perth in October, there could be a path forward for him to return before WrestleMania 42.

Although his road to recovery could vary, it might be possible for Rollins to get back into in-ring action ahead of the big show in Las Vegas and end up facing Reigns.

While this showdown is certainly one for the ages with numerous years of strife between the pair, it might end up that instead Rollins faces another foe if he is to return for WrestleMania 42.

After being betrayed by The Vision, it may be that instead of taking on the challenge of Roman Reigns, Rolllins will seek vengeance against his former faction member, Bron Breakker.

One potential foe for Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42 could come in the form of The Vision’s, Bron Breakker.

While it would have previously seemed as though Roman Reigns was on a crash course with The Vision in regards to Seth Rollins, the faction has definitely changed.

With Seth Rollins taken out of action due to injury and Bron Breakker ending up overthrowing him in the group on the way out, it could be Breakker’s time to face off against Roman reigns at WWE WrestleMania 42.

Given the potential battle of the spears in addition to emotional storylines able to be laid by Paul Heyman, this combination could end up being the best choice for this year’s big show.

While Roman Reigns certainly has no love lost with CM Punk, it could be that the pair end up having a showdown at WrestleMania 42 .

With both men having been betrayed by Paul Heyman, Roman Reigns still seems to hold CM Punk accountable for Heyman’s betrayal.

Leaving room for an intriguing storyline where Reigns continues to blame Punk for the actions of Heyman, there could be yet another layer to the emotionally complex Bloodline storyline.

Possibly leading to some interesting moments of Heyman getting directly involved via being referenced so frequently, there could be some really interesting moments.

3. Cody Rhodes

If recent reports are to be believed, WWE fans could be headed towards another showdown between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.

Since Rhodes has lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre, it remains to be seen if their battle will even end up being over a title.

Instead potentially poised for a grudge match, the pair could certainly put on an impressive show – with plenty of history between the two top stars in WWE, it could be rather cinematic to see the duo face off yet again if given the right storyline context.

However, more recent updates indicate that WWE has changed plans as Triple H believed “audience fatigue” could come into play since Rhodes and Reigns have already main evented WrestleMania 39 and 40 against each other.

2. Brock Lesnar

One potential opponent for Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas could be Brock Lesnar.

While there is some speculation that Brock Lesnar could be wrapping up his in-ring career, he may be well suited to go another round with Roman Reigns.

Potentially able to go against Reigns at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas even in non-title action, Lesnar could kick off his final chapter in WWE in a major way.

Finishing his series with Roman Reigns – in which Lesnar currently sits at winning only two of their last eight meetings – could be a chapter that needs closing before Lesnar retires.

1. The Rock

One intriguing option that could arise for Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42 could be to face off against The Final Boss.

Although there have been solid seeds planted for a potential showdown between Roman Reigns and The Rock in WWE, it may not be possible for this year in Las Vegas.

With the first WrestleMania set to be held in Saudi Arabia set for WrestleMania 43, perhaps the once in a lifetime showdown between The Rock and Roman Reigns will be withheld for next year.

Since WrestleMania 43 is set for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and will need a major main event match, it could be inevitable that the major stars will finally go head-to-head.
