With my predictions for the three non Royal Rumble matches happening out the way, here is what I think will happen in the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches as well as who I think will win.
30 Woman Royal Rumble
This match has the most room for it to be exciting and interesting. At the time of me writing this, there are only seven women announced for the match. The main reason why this match might be great is because of who could show up.
The WWE main roster only have around twenty five women including the ones that might be hurt and those that might not be known for their in ring work. I think that there is a lot of space for women from NXT to participate in the match.
Even though the wrestling community already think they know who is going to win and there is one clear choice, I think that there are a few other people you should be looking out for.
As far as old school surprises that might be in the match, I think that you may see people like the Bella Twins and Beth Pheonix. Also, don’t be surprised if you see a woman or two from companies like Impact Wrestling or a Japanese promotion.
Where this match might really shine is from some of the women from NXT that could show up. Most of them are probably not ready for the main roster at the moment, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t make an appearance and get some exposure.
If there was a few women from NXT that could show up, I would say Ava Raine, especially if the rumors of The Rock potentially being at the show are true. Jacy Jane and Gigi Dolin will most likely be in the mix because they are probably two out of the three most main roster ready women that NXT have.
The third roster ready woman that they have is Zoey Stark and I don’t think that she will be in NXT for much longer.
Indi Hartwell will probably be the last one from NXT that shows up would have some interaction with her former mentor Candice Lerae.
As for the final four, I think that Rhea Ripley, who is the clear favorite here, Ronda Rousey, Zoey Stark, and I could see a surprise return of Mandy Rose being here.
Winner: Rhea Ripley
30 Man Royal Rumble
This match might already be decided and that isn’t a bad thing. What will be the main factor to whether it is good or bad will be how we get there.
I fear that if Cody doesn’t win after all of this time, it will be an AEW when they allowed fans to think that Sasha Banks was going to be Saraya’s mystery partner for their west coast debut.
I think that Cody will be one of the first four men out and one of the last four left. At the time of writing this, I think that there are already around fifteen men that announced themselves for the Rumble.
This don’t leave a lot of room for old school surprises, recent quite signings, or NXT wrestlers. If I had to pick from the remaining fifteen spots, I would say that four of them will go to old school surprises, five will go to NXT talent, two will be real surprises, and the other four will be unannounced main roster talent.
For the four old school surprises, I would guess William Regal, Chavo Guererro, X Pac, and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
For the five NXT wrestlers, I would say Bron Breakker, Cameron Grimes, Carmelo Hayes, Grayson Waller, and Ilja Dragunov.
For the real surprises, I think that there might be one or two New Japan wrestlers that might show up or maybe someone from MLW.
I think that the final four in the match will be Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, GUNTHER, and either Bron Breakker or Carmelo Hayes.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
