Roman Reigns: WWE’s favourite to win the Men’s Royal Rumble
According to a leading Indian publication, Roman Reigns is the favourite to win the Men’s Royal Rumble match. Roman Reigns has only participated in one title match (Intercontinental Championship) last year and WWE would want to give 'The Big Dog' another title shot. According to fans, Reigns will also be an ideal rival for Bray Wyatt and his WWE Universal Championship if Daniel Bryan fails at Royal Rumble 2020. Experts also reveal that former NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler is the favourite to win the Women’s Royal Rumble match.
