According to sources, Roman Reigns was originally planned to win the WWE World Title at Survivor Series against Seth Rollins. Meltzer reports that this was the plan, but that Reigns may not win the tournament to crown a new champion because of the imbalance between heels and babyfaces on the roster.
With Rollins currently out until after WrestleMania, WWE is lacking in a strong heel that Reigns could defend against. Randy Orton, John Cena and Daniel Bryan are all of course out as well right now, meaning that the company is hurting for star power all around and that a strong heel is not currently available.
Reigns is almost a sure thing to be included in the tournament, but whether he will win is still up in the air.
