WWE Royal Rumble 2018: Early Prediction For Final Four Includes Samoa Joe

WWE.com

1. Roman Reigns

Half of the readers just cheered, while the other half just rolled their eyes.  Whether you like it or not, Roman Reigns is going to be around at the end of the Royal Rumble match.  If you have the expectations that The Big Dog will be eliminated before this point you are simply in denial.

Reigns has main evented the past three WrestleMania shows and is on track to main event his fourth.  If the rumors are true, it seems that Vince has had his mind set at having a Reigns vs. Lesnar WrestleMania rematch for quite some time.

Even if Reigns for some reason is not chosen to win the Rumble, WWE would be fools to not have him last until the final four because of his ability to garner a reaction from fans.  Oh by the way, as much as fans like to joke, WWE is not a bunch of fools.

Even in 2016 when Reigns did not win the Rumble (even though he main evented WrestleMania), WWE still booked him to last till the final three.  Reigns needed to last that long to further his feud with Triple H, but WWE was also able to milk a reaction out of their adult demographic when he was finally eliminated.

I will be at the 2018 Royal Rumble in Philadelphia, PA, and will likely witness a repeat from when I attended the same event in the same city back in 2015.  It is one choice to root for any other superstar to win this match, but it is simply denial if you do not think that WWE will choose to go with Reigns again as the Royal Rumble winner in the city of brotherly love.
