5 WWE reunions we saw in the Royal Rumble 2020

#1 Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns

The #30 entrant in the Royal Rumble match was The Monday Night Messiah, Seth Rollins, who came in surrounded by AOP and Buddy Murphy. The stable wreaked havoc for a short while before the babyfaces decided to even the odds and take Rollins' lackeys down. When the numbers game caught up with Rollins, he tried to coax Reigns into teaming up with him again, but Rollins' cries fell on deaf ears, as Reigns hit him with a Superman Punch to a loud pop. Both Rollins and Reigns were eliminated by the eventual winner, Drew McIntyre.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

It had been a while since we saw Rollins and Reigns in the ring together. The duo was a part of one of the most dominant factions in the history of WWE, The Shield. Along with Dean Ambrose (now Jon Moxley), Rollins and Reigns took over the WWE's main event scene in 2014, following The Shield's implosion. All three Superstars went on to become World Champions and guaranteed future Hall of Famers.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
