1. Roman Reigns Warns KO About Royal Rumble

Just as Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho lift their respective Universal and United States Title belts high above their heads on the entrance ramp, Roman Reigns would haul himself to his feet and have something to say. This could act as a reminder to the heels that they face a huge challenge come Royal Rumble.

Grabbing a nearby microphone, Reigns dispenses with his calm and collected persona to bark a warning the way of his pay-per-view opponent. Directing his vitriol at Kevin Owens specifically, Roman says there will be no chance of a sneak attack in their WWE Universal Title match.

Instead, KO will have to face Reigns like a man. Meanwhile, his little pal will be locked up inside a shark cage. Fitting, because Roman smells blood. With that, he'd throw down the microphone and stare a hole right through Owens and Jericho.

Playing their part, the heel duo look unnerved by Roman's intensity. The crowd may still boo at this, although it harks back to a more ass-kicking Reigns character that was once popular.
