WWE rumors 2015: Will Roman Reigns still be champion by WrestleMania 32?

Roman Reigns starts his new era after winning the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) title from Sheamus at WWE Raw recently. And as everyone has probably seen by now, the company's goal to have the WWE Universe back the Big Dog has materialized, but there are more pressing matters on the horizon.

While it seems to be sure that Reigns will end the year wearing the WWE heavyweight title, it is time to try and anticipate what the future holds. Vince McMahon and the Authority are expected to pull off a lot of things dirty and, of course, controversial.

Sheamus broke the ice on that at WWE Smackdown, saying that a full investigation on the "assault" of Reigns on the bosses is underway. Well, such wasn't really surprising but it was the usual "legal" means that were slowly being injected into the storyline.

It won't be surprising if a bunch of screw ups would ensue and maybe involving the WWE stars who are close to Reigns (i.e. Usos and Dean Ambrose). To make it clear, one just has to see the plight of John Cena which in all has made him into the star he is today.

So will Reigns succeed in inheriting greatness from the "Cenation" leader? Right now, it is still too early to tell. But at some point, you have that feeling that Reigns will lose the title.

But will that happen before, during, or after Wrestlemania 32?

Given that the WWE has lots of its stars out right now, it seems that the only angle is seeing him lose the title back to Sheamus (clean or dirty). Until John Cena or Seth Rollins return, it doesn't seem likely that the WWE would be recognizing a champion at this point.

Again, it all depends on the storylines. An injury could be another but hopefully, it doesn't come down to that. As far as whom he faces at Wrestlemania 32, it could be the man he manhandled at WWE TLC (Tables, Ladders and Charis — Triple H, unless it gets booked earlier in preceding WWE pay-per-views (PPVs).
