The Monster of all Monsters seems a viable candidate for putting an exclamation point to Roman Reigns’ historic title run. The Tribal Chief and Strowman have a bitter history of battling in the past on numerous occasions. But an encounter this time would be a completely new chapter as both men are operating on a different level. Braun’s monstrous strength and stature combined with his thirst for a world title win can help him dethrone Roman Reigns.
2. Solo Sikoa
The ruthless Street Fighter Solo Sikoa is the reason Roman is still sitting on his pedestal after WWE Clash at the Castle. While he currently answers to the Tribal Chief, we cannot forget his reckless mean streak and rebellious attitude. Tired of being in his cousin’s shadow, Solo can break out unlike his brothers, The Usos, and set out to take down the Tribal Chief for the Undisputed title. There was a time his brother Jey tried to dethrone Roman only to fail and become his sidekick. But Solo can rise above all and be the one to beat The One.
3. Drew McIntyre
The Scottish Warrior was inches away from the biggest win of his career at WWE Clash at the Castle. That was until Solo Sikoa interfered and helped Roman Reigns secure the win. Drew’s constant failure could lead to him putting up his career on the line for his last shot at the Undisputed Title. Moreover, The most important match of his career can see him give his all in his quest to defeat Roman Reigns once and for all and win the championship, attaining his moment of glory.
4. Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes appears to be a little ahead of schedule in healing, but there’s no firm date for a return this early.
Originally the idea of Royal Rumble looked good. Perhaps Day 1 since it’s in Atlanta.

The prodigal son was visioned to be the next World Champion ever since he made his shocking return to the WWE at Wrestlemania 38. However, an unfortunate injury derailed those plans. Cody Rhodes is already rehabbing to make his return and his predicted return at the Royal Rumble could come to fruition with Rhodes winning the name-sake match and beating the Head of the Table Roman Reigns to win the World title.
5. Bray Wyatt
The One with the whole world in his hands is looking to be the front-runner in putting down The One with the title. Bray Wyatt‘s thunderous return to the WWE is a sign that he and Roman Reigns will collide in the near future and Wyatt can reclaim his top position in the company by defeating his long-time rival Roman Reigns with his mystical aura being the force to destroy the Island of Relevancy.
