Royal Rumble Triple H Is Perfect Challenger for Roman Reigns

[Snowman1]

If their sole goal is to get Roman Reigns over, at the current rate, it's really hard to predict just what the fan reaction will be towards Reigns at WM.

Fans actually seem to be behind the guy - dude got cheered in Philadelphia of all places - but will they be able to keep this momentum going until WM? There's no real way of knowing...

-To me, while the story of Triple H vs Reigns at Wrestlemania is the best one by far, how effective will a match that "predictable" wind up being? Would the predictability outshine the story and match quality? What are the odds that they'd throw the belt on Triple H? Backstage I just see him now as "the guy who wants to protect all his NXT talents" moreso than "the "Am I fucking going over?" guy, and even kids and newer fans can realize a guy who wrestles so little has little chance of winning the belt...

-In terms of just the character dynamics Cena vs Reigns seems like a very polarizing choice, in the sense of how they need to treat it with the utmost care. If they want to do a passing of the torch match and have Roman and Cena go face to face several times, there's your chance to get "Cena 2.0" off Roman's back and prove how he's a completely different next top guy. No more tater tots or magic beans crap or stupid monologues, if he can be the badass in the face of the Fruity Pebble we wanted the Rock to be, then there's a new star... but ONE misstep can undo all the good will they've built up in the past couple of weeks... I also wouldn't expect much from the match.

-Lesnar vs Roman again should work better this time, but with how beloved Lesnar is right now, having Reigns walk out of Suplex City with the title should create more groans and build resentment.

-One other opponent might be the Undertaker, but... that just seems like the wrong move from every possible angle atm.

Anyway I remember bitching at Wrestlemania 28 - wow has Snow changed since then - about how 4 part-timers were getting the 6 top spots at Wrestlemania, and how they needed to create new guys. Welp, guess Roman's created, but unless Seth can get some super healing powers or they can kidnap the insurance dude who's keeping Rock from working (OR FUCKING CLEAR DANIEL BRYAN FFS), there's no way to get 3 top matches this year with 5 guys unless one of them (Roman) pulls double duty, or Cena faces another young guy like the last two years

I have a better idea, how about a surprise return challenges Reigns....

Brock or Rock are the only two names that come to mind. They want to put Reigns over though which is why I can't see putting him against either is a good idea. I see HHH vs Brock vs Reigns happening at Wrestle Mania. HHH will keep Reigns "safe" from a loss from Brock.

Nah, they aren't gonna revisit Brock vs HHH in any form ever again. They exhausted that feud nearly three years ago. Plus, if HHH were to hypothetically place himself into a three-way with Roman, it only makes sense that the third man be another heel whom Hunter could hopefully form an alliance with in order to further ensure Reigns didn't walk out the champion.

Maybe Cena then? Idk I am just throwing stuff out there. Good points though.

I all of a sudden want to see WWE pull something off where they make the fans believe that Dean wins the Rumble, and Stephanie then comes out and says that there's a special 31st entrant in this match, out comes Triple H and Triple H eliminates Dean to win. If you think about it, Triple H winning the Royal Rumble does make sense and The Authority angle needs another moment where they do something really evil, and I think that this is perfect for the storyline and it would be the best heel moment in years. Heels nowadays, you don't see too many of them do something really evil, and this would be a good thing to do for the purpose of the storyline.

I'd really hate it if they did that. If they truly want Reigns and HHH at Wrestlemania, just let HHH enter as one of the 30. Don't screw with the integrity of one of the WWE's most historic events like that.
