5 last-minute changes WWE can make at Royal Rumble 2022: Huge Roman Reigns twist, Major return shakes things up

This year's Rumble is quite unpredictable.

#1 Roman Reigns loses the Universal Championship and wins the Men's Royal Rumble Match

As surprising as Ronda Rousey returning would be, WWE might pull off a bigger shock in the Men's Royal Rumble Match. However, this would only happen if Roman Reigns loses the Universal Championship to Seth Rollins.

It is a very real possibility, considering the pair's history together. The Visionary has a perfect record in world title matches against The Tribal Chief as well. Reigns wouldn't even need to lose clean, with Brock Lesnar or Kevin Owens potentially playing a part in his record-breaking title reign's demise.

The Head of the Table can then enter the Rumble match and win it, setting up a WrestleMania date with Lesnar for the WWE Championship. There isn't a clear-cut favorite among the announced participants, with Big E being the only one with a major chance of winning.

The New Day member would be a great choice to win the Royal Rumble but if Roman Reigns loses his title, he will still likely end the night on top. While it may be frustrating for the fans, it would top his 2015 victory for sure.
