WWE Royal Rumble 2023: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

6. WWE Does The Unthinkable

Right, there's no way this happens.

It can't happen, can it? WWE couldn't possibly whip the Undisputed WWE Universal Title(s) off one Roman Reigns before he reaches some sort of final boss scenario at WrestleMania. Could they?! It'd almost feel like putting KO's feet in concrete then pushing him off a pier if creative did that, 'cause fans would not be happy after the initial pop settled down.

There's this niggling feeling at the back of yours truly's head that says Sami Zayn might go rogue and cost Roman the belts to prove a point though. It absolutely shouldn't happen, because Zayn himself is a better rival for Reigns down the road that Kevin Owens is here, but it could tempt WWE.

Sami costing Roman the titles would be his ultimate 'f*ck you' to Reigns and Paul Heyman for questioning him. However, it'd also prove them correct and thicken the plot. However, it'd also mean that Reigns isn't top champ anymore, and that's unthinkable heading into 'Mania 39.
