#2: The Fiend wins the 2021 Royal Rumble to set up the ultimate box-office WWE match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania
One of the main reasons why The Fiend vs Roman Reigns could have been purposely delayed in WWE is because this is not the kind of one-off feud that will end without any notable consequences.
Roman Reigns and The Fiend are two big entities in WWE right now, and a feud between them won't just attract a lot of attention, but it will also result in permanent consequences for either Superstar, in terms of character.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
This is why one of the best ways to address their eventual showdown could be rooted on the basis of the Royal Rumble match, which also kickstarts the hottest period in WWE's yearly calendar.
Assuming that The Fiend wins this match and the top champions on both RAW and SmackDown remain the same, Bray Wyatt's evil alter-ego would have more than enough reasons to challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Title instead of the WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre.
The Fiend's victory in next year's 30-Man Royal Rumble Match would inadvertently cause both Superstars' paths to cross at the Grandest Stage of Them All, and nothing could be grander than a blockbuster match between two of the most trending stars from the current generation.
