3 Early Predictions for Roman Reigns At WWE Fastlane 2023

Following WWE Payback, the next major WWE event is Fastlane, scheduled for October 7 in Indianapolis. While the full match card remains undisclosed, a few potential scenarios emerge.

One major question revolves around the status of Roman Reigns, the Tribal Chief, who has been absent from WWE television since August 11. With this in mind, let’s explore our anticipated opponents for Roman if he decides to defend his title at WWE Fastlane 2023:

1. LA Knight
LA Knight has gained significant momentum in WWE over the past few months and is one of the top merchandise sellers. WWE might capitalize on his popularity by granting him a championship match against Roman Reigns. However, it’s worth noting that LA Knight is currently involved in a rivalry with The Miz, and they might have a rematch at Fastlane. Nevertheless, in WWE, plans are known to change, so never say never. LA Knight and The Miz clashed at their last pay-per-view, Payback.

2. Jimmy Uso
Roman Reigns has had numerous matches against one of the Uso brothers, Jey Uso, for various titles. With Jey drafted to RAW for now, Reigns needs a new opponent, which could potentially be Jimmy Uso. Jimmy has clarified that he’s not aligned with either Jey, Roman Reigns or Solo Sikoa.

3. Damien Priest
While this match differs from the others mentioned, it’s a possibility that Damien Priest might cash in his Money in the Bank contract for a title match against Roman Reigns. This scenario is unusual since Damien Priest and his stable, The Judgment Day, are from RAW, not Smackdown. However, the Money in the Bank contract allows Damien Priest to challenge for a championship wherever and whenever he chooses.

These are our predictions for Roman Reigns and his potential challengers if he decides to defend his title at the Fastlane pay-per-view event.
