Other than this, the popular American sports journalist Dave Meltzer has also reported that the ‘Beast’ Brock Lesnar could also be a potential challenger for Rollins’ championship as the only reason he defeated Cody Rhodes at Champions is that WWE can’t make him lose twice in a row.
Moreover, the current most popular WWE stable ‘The Judgement Day’ has also addressed the open challenge. So Finn Balor and Damian Priest are also on the list. But no matter who will be the first challenger, one thing which is confirmed is that fans will finally see a world title defense on Raw after a long time.
