2017 Royal Rumble ciyaarta Janaayo 29, Reigns wuxuu soo galay isagoo ah kii ugu dambeeyay ee la yaab leh inkasta oo uu lumiyay WWE Universal Championship kulankii Kevin Owens horaantii habeenkaas. Taageerayaashu waxay filayeen inay soo galaan ciyaartoy kale oo layaab leh oo ay ka mid yihiin Finn Bálor, Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Shinsuke Nakamura iyo Kenny Omega - warbaahinta caalamiga ah ayaa xustay in tani ay soo jiidatay "Tani waa bullshit!" qaylo dhaan ka timid dadkii badnaa oo nool iyo xitaa ka sii badan markii uu baabi'iyay Undertaker. Reigns ayaa wali la aflagaadeeyay kadib markii uu meesha ka saaray halyeeyadii la dagaalamay ee Chris Jericho iyo Bray Wyatt. Stone Cold Steve Austin wuxuu aaminsanaa in Reigns uu ahaa "ninkii dejin jiray" oo "sameeyey wax wanaagsan" si uu u caawiyo Randy Orton isagoo u ogolaaday Orton inuu isaga ka saaro si uu ugu guuleysto Royal Rumble. Habeenkii xigay ee "Raw", Braun Strowman oo xun xun ayaa helay "Thanks you Strowman!" oo ku dhawaaqaya qiimaha Reigns ee WWE Universal Championship ee Royal Rumble. Dhawaaqdan ayaa la soo celiyay ka dib markii Strowman uu ku kacay Reigns kulankii 6-dii Febraayo ee dhacdada "Raw", iyadoo Tom Colohue oo ka tirsan "Pro Wrestling Torch" uu qoray in aargudashada Strowman ee ka dhanka ah Reigns ay "si qalad ah ugu rogtay" ninka xun ee taageerayaasha jecel. Bishii Febraayo 2017, Meltzer wuxuu sheegay inay "cad" tahay in riixitaanka WWE ee Reigns "uusan waligiis dhammaan doonin". Dabayaaqadii bishaas, guddoomiyaha tartanka Peter Rosenberg ayaa ka xumaaday in "si ka duwan Hulk Hogan oo si isku mid ah u awood badan" Reigns "u muujiyo daciifnimo, waligiis".
