WWE Championship Royal Rumble!

It will end with Reigns in the main event of Mania. Leaving as champion.

Well thats were fastlane comes in they can easily just do a number 1 contenders match giving a reason to really watch Fastlane.

Yeah, there are a couple of scenarios where this works:

1. Roman Reigns retains the Championship, a tournament (or something of the sort) is held at Fast Lane to determine is opponent, probably John Cena. In this scenario, Reigns goes to Fast Lane and faces Triple H. It can be for the title or non-title, doesn't really matter, Reigns is going to win.

2. Roman Reigns loses the Championship because of Triple H, and is so incredibly dismayed with him that he foregoes his title rematch until after Wrestlemania to get his revenge. This sets up Triple H/Roman Reigns at Mania with no title involved.

But there are a few scenarios that are totally counterproductive, and, quite frankly, idiotic:

1. Triple H wins the title at the Royal Rumble, and Roman Reigns continues on as an "underdog", finally getting his big win at Wrestlemania.

2. Someone else wins the title at the Royal Rumble, and Roman Reigns continues on as an "underdog", facing Triple H at Fast Lane, and then getting his big win at Wrestlemania.

3. Roman Reigns plows through 29 other guys as the ultimate ruler, bestower, judge, jury, executioner, deity, god that Vince McMahon tells us he is, then plows through his opponent at Wrestlemania as some quasi-babyface that, by this point, everyone will have outright rejected.


I would almost guarantee that, at this point, Roman Reigns will be leaving Wrestlemania as champion, whether it be retaining, or poorly attempting to make us believe he is overcoming the odds the again and striking down the evil Vince McMahon to win the title for the third time in months, because, lol, he's an underdog.

We're in the exact same spot as we were at this time last year, except this time, there's no Seth Rollins to save the day. Roman Reigns is the be all, end all, and no matter how non-sensical, counterproductive, and damaging it is, he's what you're going to get, exactly as he is, glaring flaws and all. He's got no incentive to get any better now, because he sees what they'll do with him as a mediocre talent with a good look. He's there to get rich. He's going to get rich, and we're going to like it.

Yay, I guess.

I think Reigns is losing. If we take a step back, and look at potential matches, Reigns vs HHH, Brock vs Sheamus, and Taker vs Cena, should all still be strong options for the card. Unless WWE has just decided to throw everything out, I don't see this as much more than an interesting way to market the Rumble.

Brock, Cena, Reigns, and Sheamus are the 4 options imo. None of them particularly excite me. I guess because it's a short window of time, there is always the possibility that HHH wins and then we get Reigns vs HHH in the title match at Mania but I don't see HHH doing that at this point.

I guess we'll see. I'm most excited to see if WWE really does let AJ Styles jump right to the main roster. If that happens during the Rumble, it will make the show entirely worth it. I'm not expecting that though, and I'm not expecting AJ to get anywhere near the main event even if he does debut.

It's time to correct 2014's mistake.

No way Reigns wins TWO YEARS in a row.

Though I think they'll probably have him put on a monster showing before getting eliminated... hopefully to someone NEW!

Well I guess this is going to be the main event of Wrestlemania, because theres no way Roman isnt in the Main Event this year for the title.

HHH wins and faces Reigns in the title match but the last match is Undertaker's retirement match unless they have a shocking ending like last year.

or

HHH screws Reigns out of the title and the title match is something else. While giving us HHH vs Reigns.

Either way HHH vs Reigns is happening at Mania.
