Roman Reigns is the current World Heavyweight Champion on WWE RAW. The Original Tribal Chief defeated Jacob Fatu at Clash in Italy in a Tribal Combat match.
As a consequence, the Samoan Werewolf acknowledged the Head of the Table on RAW after the international Premium Live event. The Bloodline is now stronger than ever, and it’s not easy to get the World title from the OG Bloodline leader.
Thanks for the submission!
In this article, we will discuss six WWE stars who can win the World Heavyweight title from Roman Reigns.
WWE’s Real Plan for Bloodline Leaked? – Click Here
#6. LA Knight
Over the past few weeks, LA Knight has again started targeting the Bloodline Saga and Reigns. During RAW this week, the Megastar confronted Adam Pearce and accused him of favouring Roman and his Bloodline.
The former US Champion, taking shots at the Bloodline group and targeting the OTC, seemingly hints that he may compete with Reigns soon for the World title. Though the chances are slim, Knight could be the one who dethrones the Head of the Table and becomes the new Champion.
It’s been a long time since the WWE Universe has been waiting for an LA Knight push in the main-event scenario. Previously, the Megastar had challenged Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2023 for the Undisputed WWE title but failed to defeat him.
Defeating the OTC in a rematch will serve as a perfect happy ending for the 43-year-old star.
#5. CM Punk
Roman Reigns dethroned CM Punk at WrestleMania 42 to win the World Heavyweight title. On RAW after the Showcase of Immortals, the Second City Saint confronted Cody Rhodes and teased an Undisputed Championship match.
Since then, the Voice of the Voiceless has remained absent from the Sports Entertainment juggernaut. Recently, the Best in the World was spotted in the gym, looking shredded and in incredible shape.
Many fans believe that Punk could be working for a massive return in the Sports Entertainment juggernaut. It will not be a surprise if the veteran star confronts Roman Reigns and demands a rematch of WrestleMania 42.
Also, if WWE wants to set the stage for a rubber match between them, the Best in the World might be the star who will beat Roman Reigns for the World title.
#4. Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes is currently part of Friday Night SmackDown and the Undisputed WWE Champion. At Clash in Italy 2026, the Stamford-based promotion teased Cody vs. Roman III.
Even the Only Tribal Chief and the American Nightmare were part of a backstage interaction. In the latest edition of the red brand, Roman reacted to last night’s confrontation with the Prodigal Son and affirmed to see him down on the road.
This subtly confirms that WWE is planning for a third match between Rhodes and Reigns. If the American Nightmare fails to remain Champion till their showdown, Roman vs. Cody may turn into a World Heavyweight Championship match.
As a result, the 40-year-old star might win the World title from the OTC, similar to what he did at WrestleMania XL.
#3. WWE star Jey Uso
Jey Uso is still part of the Bloodline on Monday Night RAW. Recently, the YEET Master has been incorporated into the King of the Ring tournament. If Jey wins the entire thing, he will earn a World Championship match.
In a backstage segment, Roman was motivating the Samoan Twin to win the tournament and challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE title. However, it’s crucial to note that things between the Bloodline aren’t working smoothly.
Though Jacob Fatu has joined the faction, he clearly expressed his issues with Jey Uso. To prove himself, the YEET Master might challenge the OTC in the near future and shock the world by dethroning him as the Champion.
#2. Oba Femi
Oba Femi is indeed one of the strongest names in the list who might potentially beat the Head of the Table and be crowned as the next World Champion. The Ruler defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania this year.
In a rematch, the Beast conquered the Nigerian star after delivering seven F5s. The former NXT Champion has already advanced to the semi-finals of the King of the Ring tournament.
Already, there are signs that Oba Femi may not win the King of the Ring tournament, thanks ot Brock Lesnar. Despite this, he has a strong chance to dethrone the OTC in the near future.
#1. Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins defeated Bron Breakker on WWE RAW after Clash in Italy and concluded his feud with The Vision. The Visionary has already aimed to become the next World Champion.
Additionally, he threw a finger in the air for ‘We the Ones’ Bloodline signature pose, subtly confirming that he is coming for Roman Reigns. For those who might not know, the Architect is part of Men’s KOTR 2026.
The former Shield Member is already a favorite to emerge as victor. If this happens, then Rollins will challenge Reigns at WWE SummerSlam 2026 and might beat him to become the next World Champion.
