Roman Reigns' Next Title Challengers Named
According to WrestlingNews.co, Roman Reigns is scheduled for two more title defenses on the road to WrestleMania, with the Royal Rumble slated as the next premium live event, and Elimination Chamber afterwards. Per their sources within WWE, the current plan is for Reigns to defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Kevin Owens at the Rumble in San Antonio, TX. WrestlingNews.co also share that Sheamus had been penciled in for that match, likely due to the concern over Kevin Owens' knee injury, but after being able to compete in WarGames, it appears Owens is able to headline with Reigns.
In a twist to the story, in the face of Sami Zayn and The Bloodline looking to finally all be on the same page after the end of WarGames, the current plan will reportedly see Zayn as Reigns' challenger at Elimination Chamber in February. Situated in Zayn's hometown of Montreal, the plan implies that a shift is coming within The Bloodline, likely coming from their continued involvement with Kevin Owens. Looking ahead to WrestleMania only seems to confirm that even more.

WrestleMania Plans For The Usos, Sami Zayn And Kevin Owens
As had been speculated among fans for some time, the WrestlingNews.co report states that The Usos are planned to be defending the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships against a reunited Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at WrestleMania. As such, it appears that the following weeks of WWE programming are sure to be building upon the dramatic closing moments of Survivor Series WarGames.
At present, there is no word on who Roman Reigns will be facing at WrestleMania. Despite the unending rumors and speculation about a showdown with The Rock at the Hollywood-themed WrestleMania, little is known about whether The People's Champion will actually appear to challenge The Tribal Chief or if fans are getting a little ahead of themselves. Either way, The Bloodline is sure to be a vital part of WWE's build to WrestleMania.
