Roman Reigns went out with that suspension at the most inopportune time. Despite dealing with a ton of heat from the fans on a nightly basis, Roman was on top of the world. He was on the verge of what would've very likely been a significantly long push. However, it all derailed in an instant.
It's become increasingly obvious that Vince and his cronies are high in Reigns and understandably so. Even though the fans are blatantly refusing to get behind Reigns, you still can't deny the fact that this guy has the look, the in-ring presence and has improved drastically as far as his ring work is concerned. The issue came about when he won the Royal Rumble last year. Fans all over the world went nuts over Roman winning.
So, what's the real chances for Roman, as far as winning the Universal Championship? Well, pretty good, actually. There's only one other participant in this match with better odds of coming away with the red strap and it's pretty obvious who that is.

He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
