The road to Wrestlemania begins, again. The yearly spectacle Royal Rumble is probably the best pay-per-view to provide the opportunity to each and every superstar in the locker room today.
AJ Styles against Yep Movement
One of the biggest pay-per-view in wrestling history is about to unfold again this January 28. There are a lot of intriguing matches and storylines in this year's event. The handicap match between The Phenomenal One and the current WWE Champion, AJ Styles against 'The Yep Movement' is a dream match, to say the least. These 3 superstars have shown to everybody they are capable of stealing the show regardless if they are wrestling at a bingo hall or on the biggest stage of them all.
There are rumours that AJ Styles might be dropping the title but there is no clear-cut winner yet. Last week, it was stated that WWE has plans for Kevin Owens. The plan is to create the same reception that John Cena and Roman Reigns are getting. The only logical reason on why WWE is leaning forward on this decision is to check if Kevin Owens can do better than Reigns or Cena. Overall, they are still picking AJ Styles to win the match because he is simply phenomenal.
30 women Royal Rumble
The first ever 30 women over the top Royal Rumble is a must to see. This is actually an opportunity to each and every woman in WWE to make a name for themselves. Former women's champion, Sasha Banks, Natalya and Bayley are all ready to set the tone for the historic event.
Up and coming stars such as Mandy Rose, Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott and Sonya Deville are looking for an upset. But the biggest name of them all is the undefeated, Asuka. The Empress of Tomorrow showed on Monday Night Raw that she can defeat everybody, even the five feet of fury, Alexa Bliss.
As of the moment, only 14 names are revealed.
There’s a backstage report that WWE is trying to contact wrestlers from the past. There are no hints provided but WWE Universe is already rooting for stars such as Trish Stratus, Lita and Kharma. According to the recent poll, Asuka is still favoured to win and she might get the chance to face the Raw or Smackdown Women’s Champion at Wrestlemania.
Shinsuke Nakamura to win The Rumble?
This year's 30 Men Royal Rumble arguably has the most star-studded lineup in history. Spearheading the lineup is the 16x WWE champion, John Cena. The longtime face of WWE looks to tie the WWE legend and considered as the Greatest of All Time 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin as the only wrestler to win the rumble 3 times. However, a lot of superstars beg to disagree with Cena. Roman Reigns who beat Cena twice wants to win the Rumble again. Seth Rollins, who is considered as a brother by Roman Reigns also wants to win his very first Royal Rumble match.
Dolph Ziggler who shocked the world in vacating the United States Championship is set to return as a surprise entrant in the Rumble.
WWE looks to repackage him and this might be the best time for 'The Show Off' to show up. However, lurking in the locker room is The King of Strong Style, The Artist known as Shinsuke Nakamura. WWE Universe is aware of what Nakamura can do and he might win the Rumble. According to Dave Meltzer, Nakamura winning the Rumble does make sense. If AJ Styles will be able to retain the WWE Championship, then the dream match will become reality. Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles have an amazing chemistry in the ring.They already wowed the crowd in Wrestle Kingdom back in Japan. So them facing at Wrestlemania is a certified money maker match for WWE. Verdict, AJ Styles to retain the title but Nakamura might shock WWE Universe.
