Roman Reigns' path after WrestleMania 42 is starting to take shape.
According to new information from BodySlam, both Gunther and Oba Femi are expected to be a part of Reigns' upcoming feud as WWE plans the next phase of their top-tier rivalry following the event at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Gunther's direction holds special significance given the additional sourcing behind it. Dave Meltzer confirmed on Wrestling Observer Radio that a program between Reigns and Gunther has been discussed internally as a major direction for the company moving forward, aligning with BodySlam's reporting and suggesting that the idea has real traction behind the scenes rather than being early-stage speculation.
Gunther comes off the back of facing Seth Rollins on Night One at WrestleMania 42, and an event with Reigns would represent one of the most high-profile matchups WWE could do, given the star power of both sides. The two haven't feuded in a long time, and with Reigns continuing to work at the top of the card, Gunther's situation makes him the logical next target.
Meanwhile, Oba Femi has been one of WWE's most aggressively rising stars over the past year. His WrestleMania 42 match against Brock Lesnar at Night 2 represented a test for the former NXT Champion, and a feud with Reigns would be the next step in establishing him as a legitimate top-tier presence on the main roster. Perhaps, WWE will also consider making him Reigns' last challenger and potentially surpassing Reigns to win the title in the next months.
No timeline for any feuds has been publicly confirmed, and it is unclear in what order WWE moves these events. What the reporting indicates is that WWE already has a clear vision of how Reigns fits into the landscape beyond WrestleMania, with two of the company's most interesting available opponents already identified as part of that picture.
