While the rivalry between Roman Reigns and King Corbin on Friday Night SmackDown was seemingly never-ending, it did have some bright moments. The high point of the nearly four-month long program came at Royal Rumble 2020. Reigns and Corbin opened the show with an entertaining Falls Count Anywhere Match.

The two big men fought all around Minute Maid Park, utilizing some creative offense. The Big Dog even locked the 2019 King of the Ring inside a portable restroom, before tossing it over. That moment got a loud pop from the stadium.

Roman Reigns eventually scored the victory over King Corbin, with a Spear on top of the dugout. It was a great scene, with the Big Dog celebrating his victory amongst a sea of WWE fans. All of them were satisfied with this fun contest. The unique setting and the hard-hitting action, along with a truly detestable opponent, helped Reigns get over at Minute Maid Park.

This rivalry may have gone on too long, but Royal Rumble 2020 was a successful night for Reigns and Corbin. The Big Dog was part of another huge pop that night, as he was a part of the show-closing Royal Rumble Match. Drew McIntyre earned a monstrous reaction when he threw Roman Reigns out to win the match.
