My thoughts/predictions on the Royal Rumble 2018



I think Asuka should enter #1 or #2 and Win the first ever Women's rumble. Overall I have been pleased with her treatment in the WWE, but I think outlasting 29 other women will cement her as being unbeatable and when the time comes for someone to break her streak it will make that woman an instant legend. I am not saying this as an Asuka mark (which I totally am) but I do think it is best for business.

Many might think I am insane for thinking this, but I think if Ronda Rousey does debut in the Rumble ---SHE SHOULD NOT WIN. I think she should be in the rumble. I think she should be in the final four but I think as this would be her first wrestling match it would be bad if she won and would be like David Arquett winning WCW championship.

Shayna Baszler should be a mystery entry into the rumble. (or make a run in)

I think either Bayley, Sasha or Becky should eliminate Ronda Rousey. I think twould do well to set up a Horsewomen vs Horsewomen match at Mania. Yeah Ronda could eliminate all the WWE horsewomen but I expect Rousey to clean house a lot and if Ronda eliminates Bayley, Sasha or Becky it might just get lost in the shuffle.

Io Shirai makes her WWE debut. It seemed that Io had almost been signed by the 'E when suddenly the deal feel through and she returned to STARDOM. I think this is a long shot but as I can't understand why WWE got cold feet maybe sh was signed all along but they were waiting for a big surprise.

Gail Kim is a surprise entrant. Gail has said she will not be participating but then again so has Ronda Rousey and EVERYONE expects Rousey to not only be in it but to win it. So maybe so is Gail. Gail Kim vs Asuka is one of my dream matches and even though Gail will be retiring on Febraury 3rd in the UK (her final match will be against Casey Owens) I would love to see appear at the 1rst ever Rumble and wrestle Asuka for just a little bit.

I don't have as much to say about the rest of the show....

We all know that the main event of Mania will be Reigns vs Lesner... It is so obvious It is the reason I know the outcome of the Universal Title Match. Lesner has to win. Kane is the sacrificial lamb because Brock will win and WWE doesn't want to make Braun Strwoman look weak. WWE could have Roman win the rumble but if they do that the crowd will boo him out of the building. I think a SMACKDOWN guy has to win the rumble (or a RAW guy that will jump to SMACKDOWN) Like the RAW match I just don't see the champ losing the belt but for different reasons. I love Zayn and Owens but I don't see either of them beating Styles for the belt with Wrestlemania around the corner. I think there one one of the tag belts will change hands at the PPV. But I don't know which one. I feel it will be the RAW one with Jason Jordan accidentally costing the match. This will set up Rollens vs Jordan for Mania... as I suspect that Dean was originally going to turn on Seth but with Dean on the shelf...Jason is the new Dean...

I would like to see Shinsuke Nakamura win the rumble as I think Nakamura vs Styles would be an incredible match. But I also admit this is more me being a mark than thinking what WWE. I have a feeling that John Cena will win it so he can tie Ric Falir in rumbles and championships...
