WWE News & Rumor Roundup: Top world champion to lose title at Royal Rumble? top heel breaks character, AJ Styles' future

#4 Seth Rollins to become the next WWE Universal Champion?

Dave Meltzer further added that WWE is looking to stick to their original plan of having Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar walk into WrestleMania as world champions.

However, the championships may be swapped and Rollins could become the next Universal Champion at Royal Rumble.

"I was kind of told it’s gonna end up where it’s supposed to be. So I wonder if that means they’re gonna switch belts, like the Universal belt with Seth goes on RAW and the WWE belt that Roman would end up most likely, I’m gonna guess but Brock would have, would be on SmackDown," he added

This means that Bobby Lashley will most likely be losing his match against Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble. If Seth Rollins becomes the Universal Champion, he will bring the title to RAW whereas Lesnar may take the other Championship to SmackDown.

Former Champion AJ Styles has announced that he will take part in the 2022 Royal Rumble match. The Rumble match is a special one for Styles as it was in the 2016 Royal Rumble match that The Phenomenal One made his WWE debut.

Styles has been involved in a rivalry with his former tag team partner Omos of late. However, it is clear that Styles has set his eyes on greater things and wants to win his first Royal Rumble match this year.
