Like it or not, you can take this one to the bank. Ever since Roman Reigns decimated Triple H to close out the TLC Pay-Per-View, the main event of WrestleMania has been all but set in stone. On one side of the ring will be WWE's new top babyface, and on the other side, the former champion-turned-authority figure looking to crush him. The twist in the story will come when HHH makes a surprise return to TV in the Royal Rumble match and captures the WWE Championship at Reigns's expense. To be fair, Triple H - who turns 47 this year and hasn't held gold since 2009 - won't be winning the title in a way that makes Reigns look bad. In all likelihood, he'll benefit from a #30 slot in the Rumble and The Authority will somehow screw The Big Dog out of the title. Still, that doesn't change the fact that Triple H will be winning the 2016 Royal Rumble.
