4. Roman Reigns
With only one appearance in a Royal Rumble match, Roman Reigns has made more of a lasting impression than most Superstars in the event's history. He broke Kane's 2001 record by eliminating a whopping 12 competitors in the 2014 Royal Rumble and that came after he entered at No. 15, and you can only imagine what he could accomplish from the No. 1 spot. He's become one of the biggest adversaries of The Authority in the last year, especially in the last few months since his return from injury. and with more history with Triple H dating back to the night after WrestleMania 31, it'd only be logical for The Game to force him to suffer in this year's Rumble. Unsurprisingly, he was the first Superstar to throw his name into the hat of competitors in this year's Rumble and is also considered a heavy favorite to win. But then The Authority are well aware of this as well and might do everything in their power to ensure he doesn't have his hand raised at the end of the match. Interestingly enough, the former Shield member has expressed in past interviews that he'll eliminate anyone in his way if it means winning the Rumble, naming Dean Ambrose and Daniel Bryan as people he wouldn't hesitate to throw out. Being the evil masterminds they are, The Authority could twist the words of Reigns in put him in the No. 1 spot and either Bryan or Ambrose in the No. 2 slot.
