However, right before leaving the ring, he claimed the title would look better on him, without confirming which world title he was talking about.

Roman Reigns will likely win the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble Match

The Tribal Chief’s statement seemingly confirmed that he would get a shot at one of the world championships in the near future. After Survivor Series, he is expected to appear at the Royal Rumble, and it could be to participate in the 30-man match once again.

After a strong showing in the match this year, Reigns could finally go on to win the 2026 edition, to be held in Saudi Arabia. This would give him a shot at either Rhodes or Punk, while also allowing him to continue the mystery that started tonight. And the subtle shot at both Rhodes and Punk could be Triple H’s way of confirming that Reigns will win the Royal Rumble match next year.

Roman Reigns could complete his trilogy with Cody Rhodes

The OTC and Cody Rhodes have main-evented WrestleMania against one another two times. They are currently tied at one win each, and could have a decider next year at WrestleMania 42.

Reigns never got a rematch against Rhodes after losing his Undisputed Universal Championship to The American Nightmare, and could finally earn his shot if he wins the Men’s Royal Rumble in 2026.

CM Punk and Reigns also have a lot of tension between them

It was Punk’s favor that originally separated Paul Heyman from Roman Reigns heading into WrestleMania 41, before he sided with Seth Rollins. The interaction between the OTC and the World Heavyweight Champion confirmed that there is still a lot of animosity between them.

They are yet to have a singles match, and could finally settle their differences in the ring if Reigns chooses to pursue the big gold belt. Interestingly, Reigns first stared at Punk’s title when he said that the belt would look better on him, which was a subtle hint that the Second City Saint was his actual target.

To get a shot at Punk, Reigns could be booked by Triple H to win the Royal Rumble for a second time, 11 years after first winning it in 2015.
