5 Potential Winners for the Men's Royal Rumble 

#1 Roman Reigns

The Road to WrestleMania for Roman Reigns may be a repeat of 2015

We’ve known this was a possibility since WrestleMania 33 when he defeated The Undertaker in his third WrestleMania main event. A singles match between the two men who defeated The Undertaker seems like a logical next step and many feel that it is all but guaranteed that Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar will main event WrestleMania 34. The only question remaining is how we get there.

Reigns has proven to be highly efficient in past Royal Rumble matches and has never been eliminated from a Rumble without a dominant display. He broke the elimination record in 2014 before being the last superstar eliminated, won the 2015 Rumble, defended the WWE Championship in the 2016 Rumble, and was the last superstar eliminated from the 2017 Rumble.

WWE’s clearly building Reigns up as a man who thrives in elimination matches, so winning the 2018 Royal Rumble is a strong possibility.

On the other hand, the Elimination Chamber takes place after the Royal Rumble and will be a Raw-exclusive show. So, there’s a chance that a SmackDown superstar could win the Royal Rumble and Reigns could win an Elimination Chamber match to become the No.1 Contender for the Universal Championship.

However, I believe that everything we’ll witness with Reigns for the next few months will be a repeat of the Road to WrestleMania 31, but on a much larger scale. So, the following is the scenario I think is the most likely for the Big Dog as his fourth main event at WrestleMania approaches.

Reigns will win the Royal Rumble, he’ll defend his newly won No.1 Contender’s status at the Elimination Chamber, and he’ll go on to face Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 34.
