At this time, the word backstage is that Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt and Bad News Barrett are the three favorites among Vince McMahon, Triple H, Kevin Dunn and other top executives. Triple H has been the main guy behind the pushes of The Wyatt Family, The Shield, Adam Rose and Bo Dallas.
As far as Reigns goes, plans seem almost locked that his first world title victory will be special and likely done at a WrestleMania. There are even rumors that his world title win could take place as soon as WrestleMania 31.
But who could Reigns work with to make his title win special? The two top names rumored right now are Brock Lesnar and The Rock. The Rock has previously told Vince McMahon that he would like to work with Reigns before he officially retires. In terms of Reigns winning the title, when asked about the Rock returning and possibly getting the title to make this happen, a source stated the following…
“Yes, it would likely happen at Royal Rumble and remember he does technically have a rematch from when he lost the title to Cena.”
While a lot can happen between now and WrestleMania 31, it appears that Reigns could be the babyface that WrestleMania 31 gets built around.
It should also be noted that as of several weeks ago, there were plans to do a Roman Reigns vs. Triple H singles feud. A match between the two would likely take place at WWE SummerSlam .
