Roman Reigns might not be a champion now, but he is still one of the biggest names in WWE. Throughout his career in the Stamford-based promotion, Reigns has made a place for himself in the hearts of fans, first with The Shield and now as the Original and the Only Tribal Chief.

After all, if one looks at the numbers, one can see that Reigns has performed very well in previous Rumble matches. This means he has what it takes to win the 2025 edition.
