Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell has predicted Roman Reigns’ upcoming title defense against ‘The Demon’ Finn Balor, with the match set for Extreme Rules.
After defeating Balor last week on WWE SmackDown, Reigns encountered the alter-ego painted in the Irishman’s face during last night’s episode. “The Demon” has yet to lose a match on the WWE Main List, making a clash with the Universal Champion an exciting prospect.
In the latest edition of Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell, Sid Pullar III, and Rick Ucchino reviewed the latest episodes of WWE SmackDown and AEW Rampage. Mantell said he doesn’t see Roman Reigns losing the Universal Championship at this point, even against a formidable entity like The Demon.
“They would talk to death about it, but if it’s left to Vince, I don’t think he’s going to change it,” Mantell said. “The Demon doesn’t need it. And Roman doesn’t need it because he’s undefeated on his last comeback with (WWE).”

‘The Demon’ Will Finn Balor defeat Roman Reigns at WWE Extreme Rules?
Rick Ucchino brought up an interesting point during the review, stating that Roman Reigns’ next angle with Brock Lesnar doesn’t need a title. There are enough stories involving Paul Heyman to make him feel this great without one, as Balor becomes the Universal Champion.
Dutch Mantell said it wouldn’t hurt for the Universal Championship to stay where it is.
“Roman and Brock, they don’t need a title. But that wouldn’t hurt. But, again, they might not want to put the title on Brock,” Mantell added.
The Tribal Leader may be more likely to win at Extreme Rules, which would break The Demon’s undefeated record on the WWE Main List, with his only loss at NXT to Samoa Joe.
