WWE considers blockbuster match between Reigns and Femi for WrestleMania 43
Summary

WWE is reportedly building towards a highly anticipated match between Roman Reigns and Oba Femi for WrestleMania 43, scheduled for April 2026. Reigns, currently Raw’s World Heavyweight Champion, is expected to retain his title through the event. This match's delay raises concerns about the impact on other competitors in Raw’s main event scene, as Femi may face limited opportunities until the showdown. The dissatisfaction stems from the perception that WWE's booking lacks excitement compared to the more dynamic title scene on SmackDown, where multiple challengers are actively competing for the championship.
