One such complication that could happen following Roman Reigns winning the Royal Rumble and then the world title at WrestleMania is another part-time run as champion. The former Bloodline leader's schedule has drastically reduced over the past few years, and he only appears ahead of the Big Four premium live events.

Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes are top contenders to win the Royal Rumble 2026. Reigns is a one-time Rumble winner while Cody has achieved this feat twice. Apart from them, Gunther, Jacob Fatu and AJ Styles are among the top contenders to win the 30-man match.

Do we really want Roman to win?

Roman Reigns has been away from WWE since competing at Survivor Series last year. However, the OTC is all set to make his blockbuster next weekend in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Get your ones ready to point towards the sky and acknowledge him, as WWE's "OTC" Roman Reigns is making his highly anticipated return to reclaim his throne at the 2026 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event (PLE) next Saturday in Riyadh,

Roman Reigns will be making his return at the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event on January 31 for the Men's Royal Rumble match.

The pro wrestling rumor mill didn't really need any help to be almost overwhelming, yet here comes the Royal Rumble at the end of the month, anyway.

A huge triple threat match for the Undisputed WWE Title is reportedly planned for WrestleMania 42 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The OTC is back. A SmackDown vignette confirmed Roman Reigns for the 2026 Royal Rumble, resetting the board for Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes.

You can forget about seeing another match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this year; it’s no longer happening. Last year at Survivor Series, the seeds were planted for a third match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42.
