Roman Reigns is prepared to defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Title in a Fatal 4-Way for the first time ever.
After Roman Reigns, along with his Bloodline, interrupted the triple threat match at WWE SmackDown: New Year's Revolution to determine his next challenger, Nick Aldis has determined that Roman Reigns will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble in a Fatal 4-Way Match against Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and LA Knight.
All three men are looking for revenge on Roman Reigns and his family for their own reasons and they each have a chance to walk away with the richest prize in WWE as The Road to WrestleMania 40 kicks off.
At Royal Rumble, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will put his title on the line against Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and LA Knight in a Fatal 4-Way Match.
Initially, Knight, Styles, and Orton battled in a Triple Threat Match to earn the right battle Reigns one-on-one at Royal Rumble. When The Bloodline got involved in that matchup in an attempt to dismantle the competition, however, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis determined that a Fatal 4-Way Match was the only way to settle the matter.
All three of Reigns' challengers have a legitimate grudge to settle with the historic titleholder. The Bloodline injured The Viper with a savage attack that caused him to miss a year-and-a-half of action. They also put Styles out for nearly three months. And Knight came up just short in his bid to dethrone The Tribal Chief at WWE Crown Jewel thanks to interference from The Bloodline.
Can Reigns overcome the odds and walk out of the PLE to continue his historic reign on The Road to WrestleMania? Or will one of his challengers finally take the gold from the leader of The Bloodline? Find out on Saturday, Jan. 27, at 8 ET/5 PT on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.
