It was a clear star making victory, both in intent and delivery. The top prospect on the main roster won\u2019t be called that much longer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Night two of WrestleMania 42 ended with Roman Reigns <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagesideseats.com\/wwe\/435515\/wrestlemania-42-results-roman-reigns-wins-world-heavyweight-title-cm-punk-wwe\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">winning<\/a> the world heavyweight championship from CM Punk in an epic back-and-forth battle, firmly putting the Tribal Chief back at the forefront of WWE as the very best in the business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">How much longer will it be before the two meet?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For his part, even before the event, Reigns <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagesideseats.com\/wwe\/434987\/roman-reigns-names-oba-femi-future-opponent-shades-cody-rhodes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">named<\/a> Femi as a guy he could be squaring up with in the future during an interview on First Take. \u201cNo doubt,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI think tomorrow is a celebration. I think in the coming weeks is the establishment of a new main event player. And I think at the end of the year, the OTC can get some.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For my money, Oba is already a main event player, especially with the way he may have sent Lesnar into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagesideseats.com\/wwe\/435466\/brock-lesnar-wrestlemania-42-leaves-boots-in-ring-retire-oba-femi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">retirement<\/a>. But I like that he\u2019s not saying he wants to rush into it, and WWE isn\u2019t in a position of needing to do so. Let this thing build up over the next few months and see where we are come SummerSlam, or even Survivor Series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Hell, this could be a main event at this time next year\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">UPDATE: The Tribal Chief responds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Night two of WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada opened with Oba Femi scoring a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":594896,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[88,6879,165350,4366,8316],"class_list":{"0":"post-594895","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-videos","10":"tag-wrestlemania-42","11":"tag-wwe","12":"tag-wwe-raw"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=594895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594895\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/594896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=594895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=594895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=594895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
