Roman Reigns will win the Royal Rumble.

It's almost worth saying it now just to get it out the way, because it's barely even a prediction. It bears repeating though, because many have...

So there was another way, after all. Shinsuke Nakamura's dreamlike victory at the Royal Rumble left a slot against Universal Champion Brock Lesnar still wide open, and WWE have done a commendable job of attempting to make people think somebody other than Roman Reigns has had his name etched in the spot for the better part of three years.

Seth Rollins in particular has been a source of intrigue for observers desperate to find an escape route from the inevitable. The loss of programmes with Dean Ambrose and Jason Jordan looked to condemn him to the Andre The Giant Battle Royal on the 'Show Of Shows', but an incredible investment from the company during the past fortnight has managed to plant a minuscule seed of doubt about the inevitable. Even a posited three-way built from the 'The Architect's WrestleMania 31 cash-in suddenly became a tantalising compromise. Many - just as they did in January - have dared to dream.

Not here though. Roman Reigns will win the Elimination Chamber.
