Universal Champion Roman Reigns awaits his next challenger

This Thanksgiving, only one Superstar sits at The Head of the Table for SmackDown.

Universal Champion Roman Reigns' dominant run on the blue brand has continued, but it's time for the next challenger to step onto "The Island of Relevancy." Reigns is coming off an impressive victory over WWE Champion Big E at Survivor Series.

Who will look to unseat Reigns from his undeniable rule over SmackDown?

Drew McIntyre & Jeff Hardy team up against Happy Corbin & Madcap Moss

The awe-inspiring power of Drew McIntyre and the high-flying grit of Jeff Hardy will come together in a tag team showdown against Happy Corbin & Madcap Moss.

McIntyre, Hardy and Corbin shared the ring as part of Team SmackDown at Survivor Series but that did little to bury the bad blood between the trio. The Charismatic Enigma toppled Madcap Moss last week on the blue brand, as The Scottish Warrior fended off Happy Corbin's attempted intervention.

Will McIntyre & Hardy be able to deliver another laugh at the expense of Corbin & Moss?

Ridge Holland looks to make Sheamus proud by smashing Cesaro

Sheamus has taken Ridge Holland under his wing, and the WWE Universe can only imagine the brutality that awaits.

The bruiser from Yorkshire will look to prove himself against Cesaro for his blue brand in-ring debut. Holland burst onto the scene last week to help The Celtic Warrior clinch a Fatal 4-Way win and earn a spot on Team SmackDown at Survivor Series. The towering duo was all laughs after the match, but Cesaro has promised to take both of them to a dark place.

Is Holland ready to make a big statement against The Swiss Superman and bring a tear to Sheamus' eye?​

If Romans next challenger is someone who isn't already mentioned in that preview, the options are extremely threadbare...

I can't wait for Corbin to get back to a more serious character and start using his GOAT I bring the Darkness theme again.

I feel like a Battle Royal is the best way they could have done this. As I was struggling to think of who would 'step-up' to Roman as he has took out so many guys. I just hope it's a good choice.

The reign is losing me at this point as I'm stuck trying to see where else it goes, but I am still interested in his matches.

Yeah I think this is how they work in Jeff as the challenger or someone equally more "lower-tier" for Rumble or D1 since they never have the top challengers in January. So I wouldn't expect Drew or anyone to win this, he should just be winning more singles until it's his turn to challenge normally

Jeff would be tight. Been wanting them to do something with him for a while, so I'd be down for that.

I had no idea he called him out recently too, so :hmm:

the problem with them picking someone nobody thinks of is that you'll get people just moaning 'oh you know roman will win so whats the point' lmao, like the match will prob be good regardless
 

Jimmy King

It’s Britney, bitch
I could see King Woods winning if he’s in the match to continue his story with Roman, unless that was all just to build to Roman and E at Survivor Series.
