Why Roman Reigns Must Win The WWE Royal Rumble 2026

Ahead of WWE Royal Rumble 2026, Pat McAfee interviewed Roman Reigns on The Pat McAfee Show on ESPN. The OTC was asked about his plans for the Royal Rumble.

The former Undisputed WWE Champion explained why the company needs him to win the 30-man match.

I didn’t come all the way out here for nothing. You know what I mean? From Miami, this is a long travel day. So, yeah, I mean, I haven’t been able to pull this off in what, over 10 years now. For the longest, I felt like I was like the gatekeeper, the runner-up guy. You know, they would spam me and try to get that big pop for the babyface or whatever.

But, I don’t know. This feels like me. It feels like me and I think there’s so many different, you know, fingers and different signs pointing to this. I think we’re at a place where our fans ae demanding more. You know what I mean? I set us up. I put us in position, you know, to be fulfilled in teh promised land, to be in a position to break records and make ungodly amount of money. And we’re at that point that our fans are craving that. And they already know it’s a proof of concept with me. They know what they’re getting with me, man.
