Paul Heyman's 'spoiler' about WWE SmackDown star Roman Reigns

Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns has been dominant for over a year, and 2023 was no different.

On this week's Monday Night RAW, Reigns' on-screen ally, Paul Heyman, gave away one of his typical 'spoilers.' According to Heyman, no challenger will dethrone The Tribal Chief in the next 12 months:

"As special counsel to your Tribal Chief, I offer not predictions but spoilers. For the next 12 months, there will be no challengers unseeding the true GOAT of sports entertainment."

As mentioned before, one of the biggest highlights for Roman Reigns this year was a main event showdown against Cody Rhodes. Not only did Reigns emerge victorious from that WrestleMania encounter, but a fan-voted tournament has crowned it the best WWE match of 2023.

Which superstar should be the one who finally dethrones Roman Reigns? Sound off in the comments section below.
