At the start of January 2021, Roman Reigns began a feud with Adam Pearce as he was officiating decisions that were unfavorable to Reigns.
The Tribal Chief decided to teach Pearce a lesson at Royal Rumble, adding him to the gauntlet match. The winner of the match earned a title shot at Royal Rumble.
During the match, Shinsuke Nakamura entered at #3 and eliminated four men. Before Adam Pearce could start the match, The Bloodline interrupted and ambushed Nakamura and Pearce. Following the attack, Reigns put Pearce's lifeless body on Nakamura and pinned him.
Nakamura's spot at Royal Rumble was stolen by Reigns. Also, there was no program booked between them. Therefore, Nakamura and Reigns should collide in 2022.
