While plans are far from being locked in, WWE is discussing Riddle, Randy Orton, and Drew McIntyre as the potential next three opponents for Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE is talking about having Riddle face Reigns at Money in the Bank, Orton face Reigns at SummerSlam, and McIntyre face Reigns at Clash at the Castle. Meltzer added that none of these plans are close to being etched in stone:

Right now the talk is, and none of this is close to etched in stone, that Reigns wrestles Riddle on 7/2, Orton on 7/30 and McIntyre on 9/3.
Money in the Bank (Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas), SummerSlam (Nissan Stadium in Nashville), and Clash at the Castle (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales) are all stadium shows.

Reigns unified the Universal Championship with the WWE Championship when he defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. Reigns hasn't had a televised title defense since then.

Reigns was originally advertised for June's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view but will no longer be working that show. Reigns has signed a new contract with WWE and will have a lighter schedule going forward.

At WrestleMania Backlash earlier this month, Reigns & The Usos defeated McIntyre & RK-Bro in a six-man tag match. Reigns pinned Riddle to get the win.

Raw Tag Team Champions RK-Bro are facing SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos in a title unification match on tonight's SmackDown.

Tag Team Champions challenging for singles titles are IN this summer:garrett

Except if they decide to go with this they should just have Usos unify them but I'm still skeptical that happens

Breaking News: Riddle and Orton have walked out during Monday night Raw. Left a spliff on Johhny Ace's ashtray

They'll both be good "filler" feuds even though they've been feuding for a good bit now then ready for Drew to take the title(s) at the castle

Riddle makes sense with what happened at the end of last week’s SmackDown where Riddle hit Roman with the jumping knee to the face.

Roman will make Riddle acknowledge him in due time.

I'm surprised they haven't had the idea of a triple threat between Roman/Riddle/Orton be an interesting dynamic especially if you bar the usos from ringside and paul
