WWE superstar Roman Reigns is currently enjoying an impressive winning streak. No wrestler was successful in defeating him for a long period. To end this winning streak, it is safe to say that WWE needs someone special who can pip the great man.

There really aren't any new names on the WWE roster that Reigns hasn't defeated before. However this year, the Tribal Chief can get a big challenge from some such wrestlers. Roman can probably defend his championship before Royal Rumble 2023 or in the main event of it. Royal Rumble 2023 will happen on January 28. Let's take a look at five names who can challenge Roman Reigns at Royal Rumble 2023.

5. The Rock

WWE fans are eager to find out who Roman Reigns will face at WrestleMania 39. The biggest name flying about is Dwayne Johnson, popularly known as ‘The Rock’, whose return to the company has been anticipated for a while. However, the Hollywood star's comeback could happen sooner than expected. Notably, the former WWE superstar took retirement from professional wrestling in 2019.

4. Randy Orton

The feud between Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns has been going on in WWE for almost a decade. There was a time when the storyline between the two was very much liked by the people. In addition to the Wyatt Family feuding with the Big Dog persona of Reigns, Bray was the only person who lost his Universal Championship to Reigns. After this victory, Roman got a big push in his career and he created history as Universal Champion.

2. Brock Lesnar

It is reported that Brock Lesnar will return for Road to WrestleMania 2023 and then his storyline will be decided. According to reports, WWE is yet to decide which superstar Brock Lesnar will face at WrestleMania 2023.

In such a situation, there is a lot of possibility of Lesnar's return in ROYAL RUMBLE 2023. WWE seems to be gearing up for a big match for Wrestlemania 2023 so it is possible that he will return to become Roman's next opponent at Royal Rumble 2023 and the two arch-rivals will once again be at loggerheads.

1. John Cena
