Opinion: Shinsuke Nakamura could really win the Royal Rumble

#2 Reigns doesn't need the Rumble win

Roman will get his match regardless

Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship is pretty much set in stone for WrestleMania, it has been that way as early as last April. But does Roman really need to get there by way of another Royal Rumble win? Most would say no.

Whether we like it or not, Roman Reigns will most likely face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 34 but he doesn't need to obtain it by repeating the history of one horrible night. Roman Reigns won the 2015 Royal Rumble in Philadelphia in front of a hostile crowd and although Roman has improved immensely since then, he is still returning to that same Philadelphia audience for what will be another loud anti-Reigns night.
