Roman Reigns to beat John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship, believes analyst, with help from 39-year-old star
WWE Superstar Roman Reigns has been off television since RAW after WrestleMania 41. Amid his time away, wrestling analyst Sam Roberts made a bold prediction about what lies ahead for the OTC upon his return to action.
At this year's Showcase of the Immortals, Reigns did not emerge victorious in a Triple Threat Match against Seth Rollins and CM Punk due to Paul Heyman's betrayal. On RAW after 'Mania, the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion was brutally taken out by Rollins and Bron Breakker.
Meanwhile, John Cena dethroned Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania. Following that, the Franchise Player has successfully defended the championship against Randy Orton at Backlash.
On his Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts speculated that Cody Rhodes might assist Roman Reigns in defeating John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship upon Reigns' eventual return. He believed this scenario would then set up a world title bout between The American Nightmare and The Tribal Chief.
"I would think that the interest would be that he [Cody Rhodes] helps Roman Reigns win [the title from John Cena], and then he has to fight Roman Reigns," Roberts said. [From 01:12:44 to 01:12:50]

Sam Roberts predicted Roman Reigns' WWE return timeline
In the same video, the 41-year-old wrestling personality predicted when Roman Reigns would return to the Stamford-based promotion. He believes that the former Bloodline member will return around the SummerSlam 2025 season.
According to Sam Roberts, Roman Reigns would come back and go after John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
"Roman would have to come back soon. And then he'd have to explain why he's going after John Cena (at SummerSlam). The last time we saw Roman, he got laid out by Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker. So for Roman to come back and be like, 'I'm back for John Cena,' it's almost like..okay. I mean, it could happen. He wants the title. He hates John Cena."
It will be interesting to see if the Original Tribal Chief returns very shortly and gets involved in a program with The Cenation Leader for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
