Roman Reigns’ reign as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion faces a serious threat as he gears up to defend his title against Randy Orton at Royal Rumble 2024, with a surprising 16-time champion potentially entering the fray.
The legendary Rey Mysterio, known for his illustrious WWE career and Hall of Fame induction, remains an active competitor and is eyeing his shot at championship gold once again. With an impressive resume that includes multiple title reigns, Mysterio’s return to the ring could spell trouble for Reigns.
Scheduled to face three formidable opponents, Reigns finds himself in a precarious position. However, The Tribal Chief and his trusted advisor, Paul Heyman, may have a backup plan in place to secure victory at the event.
Recent attempts by Heyman to recruit Carlito from LWO hint at a strategic move to bolster The Bloodline’s ranks. While Carlito declined the offer, Santos Escobar’s public declaration of support for Heyman suggests potential backup from the Legado Del Fantasma faction.
Should Heyman call upon Escobar and his cohorts for assistance, it could lead to a dramatic showdown at Royal Rumble. However, Mysterio’s rumored return, fueled by his longstanding rivalry with Escobar and allegiance to Orton, could tip the scales in Orton’s favor.
With Mysterio and the LWO potentially intervening to level the playing field, Reigns faces an uphill battle to retain his title. As tensions escalate and alliances shift, the Royal Rumble promises to deliver a thrilling clash for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
