Now that Roman Reigns is over on SmackDown Live, it’s only a matter of time before he enters the WWE Title picture. Currently, that title is held by New Day member Kofi Kingston. Kingston defeated Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35 to capture the strap. Now, a potential meeting with Reigns could be down the road for the former Intercontinental Champion.
Speaking to Express UK recently, Kingston addressed a possible match-up with Reigns. Kingston said he thinks “The Big Dog” “absolutely” deserves a title opportunity.
Here’s what he had to say:
I think Roman Reigns is an incredible talent, obviously he’s been through so much. He’s a fighter, a guy who has beaten leukemia and now here he is. He’s back for what he loves to do. I love everything about Roman Reigns. I’d love to mix it up with him at some point.
It would be great to have a little rivalry with Roman because him and I went at it a bit with The Shield vs The New Day. As far as one-on-one, we’ve never had that. So it would be something that the fans have never seen before and obviously he’s, pun intended, a top dog.
For me to go up there and be able to mix it up with who the people look at as one of the top dogs in the industry today I think it would be great. I think it would be great but only time will tell if that happens. I think I need to get through Kevin Owens first before I start thinking about other guys like Roman Reigns.
