Women’s Royal Rumble

Men’s Royal Rumble

While Lesnar has been the Universal Champion for some time, there are some who feel like Balor may have a good shot at pulling an upset. In addition to the wrestlers that have been confirmed for Royal Rumble, there have been some rumors circulating that Roman Reigns could make a surprise appearance. Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam to become the Universal Champion, but he was forced to give his title up due to his health complications stemming from leukemia.

Sportskeeda was one of the outlets speculating as to Reigns’ return, but veteran journalist Mike Johnson say that these reports were nothing more than rumors. “A couple of names that we have talked about, primarily Roman Reigns,” he said. “I am told Roman Reigns will not be there this weekend. He was never involved with any creative plans.

Furthermore, Johnson said that Reigns is in no physical shape to participate in Royal Rumble. “We are told he’s actually in Hawaii so he’s not going to be physically at the Royal Rumble,” he added. “All signs are Roman Reigns will not be at the Royal Rumble this weekend in any way shape or form.”
