Pro wrestling factions have always been a breeding ground for betrayal, especially in very critical moments. Backstabbing in particular is no stranger to the WWE Champion Roman Reigns. In fact, he has somehow always found himself amid questionable loyalty from the ones around him.
While his initial episode came at the hands of a great friend in the Shield, things didn’t change when he replaced friendship with blood ties. Although The Bloodline has dutifully served him so far, the Royal Rumble may bring about a change in this status quo. Here are two big reasons why Roman Reigns will have a knife plunged into his back at Royal Rumble 2024.

Roman Reigns has always received great support from Dwayne Johnson. Reigns was ganged up on by The Authority’s Kane and Big Show even after eliminating them in 2015’s Royal Rumble. However, The Rock came to his rescue and took out the rulebreakers.
Things may change at Royal Rumble 2024 however, as The Brahma Bull now poses a threat to Roman Reigns, who is now the Tribal Chief. Johnson has already made it clear that he is after Reigns. And the Rumble is the perfect place to get him.
Especially since he will be against three more wrestlers and can lose his belt even if he doesn’t get pinned.

Jimmy Uso has shown unwavering loyalty to The Tribal Chief despite suffering dearly for it. While he helped Roman Reigns against Jey Uso at the 2023 SummerSlam, he still remembers how Reigns assaulted him in a match. Although Jimmy went after his savior Jey Uso even when he switched brands, it may have been an attempt to solidify his position.
With Solo Sikoa having to deal with multiple wrestlers, Jimmy stands a perfect chance for an inside job.
