Who will Roman Reigns face next

Though it looks like WWE has nixed plans for Riddle to take on Roman Reigns at MITB, the decision is not final. The idea was to have Reigns compete only in major live events or stadium shows. Since MITB is no longer a stadium show, the company might have had change of plans. ''As of this week, no final decision had been made whether Reigns’ next title defense would be on 7/2, or to wait for SummerSlam on 7/30, where Randy Orton was the scheduled opponent,'' noted Meltzer. Name this Duo. Name this Duo. Riddle would have been a great opponent for Reigns. While The Original Bro would have gotten a great rub, The Tribal Chief would have solidified his reign before he took on Riddle's partner Randy Orton at SummerSlam.
