Five months ago, Triple H turned on Seth Rollins, planting him with a Pedigree to prevent him from capturing the Universal Championship. Since then, Rollins has been running around talking about how badly he wants to get his hands on 'The Game', but there's been no further development to their feud.

Still, the Triple H versus Seth Rollins match is supposedly set in stone for WrestleMania, so they've got to make the next move soon. That "soon" will come in the Royal Rumble match itself. Seth Rollins will escape from his clash with Braun Strowman without actually getting eliminated, but minutes later, "The Game" will invade the ring and throw Rollins out, scoring his second straight one-up on 'The Architect'.

Triple H won't actually be a participant in the Rumble match, though he will continue the assault by beating Rollins around the ringside area. After that, it'll be clear that the two are heading for a WrestleMania showdown.
