Backstage News On Plans For Roman Reigns At The Royal Rumble

The last few weeks have been big for WWE as both Randy Orton & CM Punk returned. The Viper has made it clear that he has his sights set on The Bloodline which has led to a lot of speculation regarding Randy possibly challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble next month.

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that other ideas are being considered, but as of right now Randy Orton vs. Roman Reigns is the frontrunner for the Royal Rumble.

“I know that it was under consideration. I also know that there were other ideas, too. I thought from I watched Raw on Monday that it was gonna be Roman vs Randy at the pay-per-view. There are ideas, but it’s possible that there were other ideas, too, so we’ll see how it plays out. This is the strongest, by far. You could do Punk, but it’s too early, and Punk is with Rollins. Kevin Owens is going with Logan Paul.”

It’s been confirmed that Roman Reigns will be appearing on the December 15th episode of SmackDown, so if Orton vs. Reigns is indeed in the plans it’s likely that we’ll find out sooner rather later.
