Whether or not he's 110% ready, one can only presume that Roman Reigns will absolutely be back for the Royal Rumble. Of course, given that Batista eliminated Reigns from the 2014 Royal Rumble, Reigns returning the favor en route to winning the 2015 Rumble makes complete sense. However, in contemplating this moment, let's also think about what happens afterwards. Batista narrowly avoiding the "head through cement block" treatment from The Authority the night after the Rumble because of a Roman Reigns save would give creative the space to allow for Batista and Roman Reigns to be partners/friends against The Authority. While yes, a less-than-ideally prepared Batista is likely the last guy you'd want helping out Roman Reigns, if the two are placed in matches with the right opponents it's an idea with potential. The duo remaining linked helps both parties remain over to the live audience, too.
