Though many of you people have cheered and booed Roman Reigns, you can't deny the fact that he should not have suffered his condition in the first place.

As earlier announced by former WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, he is suffering from the disease leukemia, and because of this he has to relinquish his title, but it wasn't his retirement speech. However, it was a break from wrestling business for sometime until he comes back and regains his spot.

But as the Big Dog has made his heartbreaking exit, WWE now has to make some quick changes to make their product stay relevant.

So, today in the feature we are going to take a look at those things that WWE needs to do desperately.


#4 Crown a New Universal Champion

From the day Roman Reigns won the Universal Championship, it was believed that his days as the champ would be longer than any other superstar. Luckily, he was defending the title successfully against the likes of the former champ, Finn Balor.

It was originally scheduled that Roman Reigns would be defending his Universal Championship against Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar at WWE Crown Jewel. But due to Roman's announcement, WWE now needs to find a new Champ who can match the likes of Roman Reigns.

There are not too many options for the spot, but still, there are some stars who can match Reigns' popularity. The perfect option for that would be none other than Braun Strowman himself. As earlier announced by WWE, Strowman and Lesnar will fight each other at WWE Crown Jewel PPV to determine the new Universal Champion.

And I guess Strowman will now get the privilege to become the new Universal Champion as Lesnar is scheduled for his upcoming UFC fight against Daniel Cormier.

#3 Put the Roman Reigns vs McIntyre / The Rock feud on hold

Drew McIntyre was seen as a legitimate superstar from his starting days in WWE. Though the Chosen One was released from WWE a couple of years ago, now he has returned better and stronger than ever.

From a long time, it was rumored that McIntyre is in line for a huge push, and was speculated that he would face Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship soon.

Also, The Rock was rumored to return to WWE next year for one more match. He was speculated to win Royal Rumble 2019 and possibly go on to face his cousin Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. Witnessing both Roman vs McIntyre and Roman vs The Rock would be a feast for any true WWE fan.

But it's highly unlikely that we will see these match anytime soon, sadly due to Reigns condition of leukemia. But it's possible that as soon as Reigns returns, WWE will book either of these two feuds.

#2 Make Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre Feud for the Universal Championship

Braun Strowman (Former Money in the Bank holder) and Drew McIntyre (The Chosen One) are already seen as the top guys in WWE. Both men have a great physique and impressive accolades by their side.

As it was earlier announced, Braun Strowman will now face Brock Lesnar in a one-on-one match to determine the new Universal Champion at WWE Crown Jewel. Also, as seen on this week's Raw, McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler have already lost their Raw Tag Team Championships to Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. It is highly likely that McIntyre and Ziggler alliance will now break up soon.

So, seeing the situation of both men, it's highly likely that Braun Strowman will win the Universal Championship this upcoming Crown Jewel event and will possibly go on to feud with Drew McIntyre as the seeds have been planted this past week on Raw after Strowman attacked Ziggler, after which McIntyre Claymore Kicked The Monster Among Men.

#1 Build A New Star

To be honest with you all, Roman was main eventing WrestleMania four-times in a row and was seen as a legitimate superstar because he was the one.

But after Reigns' heartbreaking exit, WWE absolutely needs a star to carry their company forward until The Big Dog, Roman Reigns, returns once again to the company. And the possible options for WWE would be Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Braun Strowman, Elias, AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, or Finn Balor.

These superstars are the perfect choices for the position Roman was on for a long time. Seeing the situation WWE is currently in, it's better for them to start searching for a new star and build him for the better good of their own brand.

We at Sportskeeda wish Roman Reigns a speedy recovery from leukemia and hope he gets back into the WWE ring once again.
