Roman Reigns is undoubtedly one of the favourites to win the Royal Rumble match next month. Vince McMahon has marked Reigns as The Chosen One. While John Cena has served as the Face of the WWE for a long time, Reigns is inevitably the one who will be taking his place. Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 34 appears to have been planned from the moment Lesnar dethroned Goldberg at WrestleMania 33.

The plan has been to book Lesnar as an unstoppable monster and for Lesnar to defeat almost every big name in the WWE in his 1 year of championship reign, then have him lose his title to Reigns at WM34. Now both Lesnar and Reigns share two things in common, something that no one else has been able to do till now: (i) They are the only 2 superstars who boast a victory over The Undertaker at WrestleMania; (ii) They are the only 2 superstars who have scored a clean pinfall over Braun Strowman (Reigns pinned Strowman at Fastlane 2017 and Lesnar pinned Strowman at No Mercy 2017).

Roman Reigns has also headlined WrestleMania 3 years in a row now (WM31, WM32, WM33). The only thing that remains to be seen is how the WWE will be booking this match, i.e. whether they will have Reigns win the Royal Rumble match and go on to challenge Brock Lesnar at WM34 or if they will have someone else win the Rumble and instead look for a different way to book the Reigns vs Lesnar match.
