WWE Royal Rumble 2022 - 5 Potential finishes for Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins: Major return takes place, Possible face turn?  

#4. Seth Rollins leaves Royal Rumble as the new Universal Champion

While Roman Reigns has unquestionably had a dominant run, some factors indicate that his opponent will defeat him at Royal Rumble 2022.

The Tribal Chief does not have Paul Heyman by his side anymore, and as per the match stipulation, The Usos are barred from ringside. Can Reigns overcome Seth Rollins without any help from his cousins?

Moreover, he has already accomplished the longest run as Universal Champion in the history of WWE. The very reason Rollins — a Monday Night RAW star — is facing him is because he might not have a lot of credible opponents left on the blue brand.

Perhaps now is the right time for Reigns to drop his title. And moving forward, The Visionary could have many new challengers in line for a championship shot. As for his opponent, a renewed rivalry with WWE Champion Brock Lesnar should make sense.

Whether Rollins wins clean or cheats to accomplish the same goal, his potential victory would add more believability to the saying that anything can happen on the road to WrestleMania.
