5 reasons why Roman Reigns is Mr Royal Rumble

#1 Perfect Fit

Reigns thrives at the January spectacular

Roman Reigns and the Royal Rumble pay per view go together like Rose & Jack, and if you don’t understand that reference, then we urge you to go and watch the masterpiece that is Titanic.

Reigns is an elimination machine who is able to make any standard ‘throw over the top rope’ look cool, he’s got great stamina and endurance as evidenced by his effort in 2016, and whenever a babyface goes up against him you’re always guaranteed to get a great pop.

Obviously, WWE wants more positive reactions from him, but just take his showdowns with the debuting AJ Styles in 2016 and his final battle with Shinsuke Nakamura in 2018 as two wonderful examples. The crowd, for better or worse, wanted to see what was going to transpire – and that’s because Mr Royal Rumble was involved in making the magic happen.
