Roman Reigns retained his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at SummerSlam against Jey Uso. In a grueling Tribal Combat match, The Head of the Table defeated his right-hand man with some help from Jimmy Uso. So, the question again rises that who will beat Roman Reigns for the title.
The Tribal Chief has been reigning at the helm of the men’s division for 1,070 days now. According to rumors, Roman Reigns will take a break from WWE now. He has already started his vacation, and he is not expected to defend the Undisputed Universal Championship until the Crown Jewel show in November.
Reigns’ championship reign will definitely come to an end one day. In this article now, we will look at the top two candidates who can beat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Championship after Jey Uso’s failure.
1. Cody Rhodes seems like the one who will beat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Championship
Cody Rhodes won the Royal Rumble earlier this year and then unsuccessfully challenged for the Undisputed Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 39. Rhodes wants to finish his story, and the ending will be the sweetest if he beats Roman Reigns for the title.

The American Nightmare has got a ton of momentum by his side after beating Brock Lesnar in a thrilling encounter at SummerSlam last Saturday. Given how Lesnar praised him after the match, it should not be a surprise if WWE selects Rhodes as the Superstar who dethrones Roman as the champion.
2. Solo Sikoa
Solo Sikoa is yet to betray Roman Reigns, but considering how things work in The Bloodline, it is possible that The Enforcer of the group will betray the Head of the Table one day.

Sikoa is one of the most serious Superstars on the main roster in today’s era of social media. He has a unique aura, which is why WWE may book him to win the Undisputed Universal Championship and become the next Head of the Table.
