Since winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship last month, Roman Reigns has faced multiple challenges and obstacles put in his path by evil chairman Vince McMahon. The motif worked well for years with the McMahon/Steve Austin rivalry, and WWE clearly is trying to rekindle that flame with Reigns. Last week, we had a ridiculous one versus all match in which 14 heels were pitted against Reigns, which resulted in the predictable schmozz ending with everyone dogpiling the champ. And with Reigns defending his title in the Royal Rumble match, youve got to imagine that McMahon will try to stack the deck one last time to make life difficult for Roman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3IeLaoUU_Y So what will it be? Roman versus the League of Nations? Reigns versus the entire Wyatt Family? Or Roman versus the League, Wyatts and Social Outcasts? Either way, its safe to say that Reigns isnt going to coast into the Rumble next weekend.
