5 Superstars WWE could have big plans for at The Royal Rumble

#3 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns may be the most important figure going into the Royal Rumble PPV.

Roman Reigns may have taken two key losses at the hands of Baron Corbin recently, but with the dominant figure Reigns has been painted to be over the years, the wins are a big deal for Corbin but aren't detrimental at all for Reigns.

With that being said, Roman Reigns lost both times to King Corbin by interference, which is a sign that the company wanted to protect The Big Dog in defeat, even though he didn't necessarily need protecting. The two men are set to collide and settle the score at the Royal Rumble PPV, which would be an interesting thing to watch. Will Corbin take another one from Reigns? How would that affect Roman's chances of winning the Rumble match at the end of the night?

In the end, Roman has gained a lot of sympathy from his defeats at the hands of Corbin, but they were scripted in such a way as to protect him. Whether that leads to WWE giving him the win in the Royal Rumble remains to be seen, but WWE is surely planning something big for Reigns on the road to this year's WrestleMania.
