WWE Royal Rumble 2019: Preview and Predictions

Match 7: Men’s Royal Rumble Match

The Men’s Royal Rumble Match seems more unclear than the women’s version because of the mystery surrounding the potential winner.

On the SmackDown front, none of the superstars have been built as potential Rumble winners; while on the RAW front, we can expect Rollins, McIntyre or Strowman (if he’s part of the match) to win it.

Potential Surprise Entry? Braun Strowman as he hasn’t officially been announced. Kurt Angle will be coming back to fight Drew McIntyre. Kevin Owens might return to eliminate Bobby Lashley. Bálor could come out in his Demon gimmick if he loses against Brock Lesnar without it.

Expected Final 4 Remaining? Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Samoa Joe and Randy Orton (If Braun Strowman does come out, then replace Joe with Strowman).

Potential NXT Apperances? Velveteen Dream & Ricochet.

Who should win the match? Both Rollins and McIntyre deserve a victory here, but seeing how hard Rollins has worked for the past year, he deserves to finally go to the main event.

Prediction: Seth Rollins eliminates Braun Strowman at the end to win the Royal Rumble.

Match Rating Prediction: 3.5 out of 5

WrestleMania Prediction: Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE Universal Title. Drew McIntyre vs. Kurt Angle or Braun Strowman.
