5 Ups & 10 Downs From WWE Royal Rumble 2022
4. Rollins With The Callback
Oh, that was good.
Regardless of what you think about Seth Rollins’ chances against Roman Reigns headed into the Royal Rumble, you’ve got to give credit for them to playing up the history between the pair, and Rollins using actual mind games against the champion.
The big moment came when Reigns was waiting for the challenger to make his entrance, but instead of the same crappy music he’s been using, we heard the familiar strains of The Shield’s theme. Rollins emerged in the crowd, wearing the old tactical gear and made a very reminiscent entrance.
Not only did it go toward Rollins messing with Roman’s head, it also was a good way to get Seth cheered from the outset and cast Reigns as the villain. Nicely done.
