Apollo Crews will be determined to regain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but The Shield will be standing in his way. He'll enter the Royal Rumble, but so will Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose - in the end, though, Crews will toss both of The Shield members out, finishing with two-time Royal Rumble winner Reigns. Having captured his second consecutive Rumble victory, Crews will once again head into WrestleMania as the number one contender. This time, though, he'll have to contend with three foes heading into the event, all looking to take him out of action before it. Crews - with help from a face John Cena and Finn Balor - will stand up to The Shield, and Crews will make it to WrestleMania. When it's one on one, Crews will be able to go toe to toe with Rollins, but of course, Ambrose and Reigns will get involved. Cena and Balor will be indisposed, but Crews will avoid a Spear, sending Reigns into Ambrose. He'll suplex a confused Reigns out of the ring, then finish Rollins off with a moonsault to claim the WWE World Heavyweight Championship once again.
