Vince McMahon announced that Roman Reigns will defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against 29 other men in the Royal Rumble match on January 24.
Powell’s POV: If Reigns wins the match does he defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against himself at WrestleMania 32? In all seriousness, I’m not a big fan of this approach and I fear it’s a setup for Triple H winning the Rumble and the title and then defending against Reigns at WrestleMania. I’m all for a Reigns vs. Hunter match anywhere other than WrestleMania 32.
I think HHH causes Reigns to be eliminated from the Rumble. Lesnar or Cena win the the Rumble and the title. Reigns beats HHH at Fastlane to earn a title shot at Mania. Reigns beats Lesnar or Cena for the title at Mania.
