10 Things That Must Happen Now WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Is Over
5. Roman Reigns Vs. Braun Strowman
The Royal Rumble was a busy evening for Roman Reigns. First, he challenged Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship in a no disqualification match, losing when Braun Strowman interfered. That seemed to promise a WrestleMania match between the men, but later in the evening, Reigns joined the Rumble bout and eliminated Undertaker in a way that guaranteed a future confrontation.
At this point, it looks like Reigns vs. Undertaker is on for WrestleMania - possibly with a Roman Reigns heel turn coming beforehand or at the show. One thing's for sure, though - Reigns is going to have to settle his issues with Strowman before he meets "The Phenom," and their bout looks likely for Fastlane.
It will be interesting to see how Strowman's push holds up when he's put across the ring from Reigns - will the titan face his first pinfall loss in WWE? Or will he and Reigns both be protected, possibly with a DQ finish that solves nothing? Either way, it's something we'll have to get through.
