This year’s Royal Rumble is about WWE making good on expectations – while sprinkling in a few surprises along the way.
The expectation at the Alamodome on Saturday is that Cody Rhodes is returning to win the men’s Royal Rumble and lock in a chance at WrestleMania to fulfill his goal of becoming a world champion in WWE. There is at least a feeling that the women’s rumble match will finally push The Judgement Day version of Rhea Ripley into the women’s world title picture, though a surprise winner is possible.
You protect Belair with an Uncle Howdy distraction, set up Bliss’ new character in a big way and free up the EST to win the Elimination Chamber to go after Flair. Unless Naomi comes back or you elevate Liv Morgan again or rehash Flair vs. Ronda Rousey, there isn’t an exciting WrestleMania match up for The Queen on SmackDown right now. You could also go with a surprise Flair vs. Beth Phoenix match, but The Glamazon may have other business to attend to.
WWE isn’t having Roman Reigns lose before WrestleMania, so this match is more about how he wins and what comes after because you know Sami Zayn is going to play a role here. Zayn said last week on SmackDown that he wouldn’t let anything stop him from doing what’s best for The Bloodline and Reigns teased a “final test” for Zayn on Raw this week.
