Royal Rumble 2023 | Predictions

Welcome back to the blog, the Royal Rumble is arguably the best match in all of wrestling, sometimes we, as fans usually know who is going to win the respective Rumble matches beforehand, the fun is not knowing who is going to enter at which number, this years versions look very unpredictable to call, you could make a case for many superstars, from the past or present.

Let's begin the predictions.

Disclaimer: If you have read past Rumble predictions, you will know that usually three names are picked, the game has changed this year, only the predicted winners will be revealed. 

Women's Royal Rumble Match
The winner of this match has had a great seven months or so since joining The Judgement Day, taking that group to new heights, she has played a great role in Dominik Mysterio's character development also, it is her time now to win and send a message to everyone in the Women's division once again, starting this Saturday. 
Predicted Winner: Rhea Ripley.

Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match
Bray Wyatt vs. LA Knight
Dr Pepper wasn't available for this match, just kidding, Mountain Dew is the sponsor, expecting to see shenanigans a plenty here, with puppets from the Firefly Funhouse and Uncle Howdy appearing at different times, these two competitors have built up a interesting story, LA Knight is no doubt going to be a future WWE Champion, great in the ring and talker on the microphone. Bray was a former champion in his last stint in the company, surely he's not going to lose in his first match since returning? right? Predicted Winner: Bray Wyatt.

Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Kevin Owens 
The last time these two met at this prestigious event was in 2021 in a Last Man Standing Match, which was won by Roman, Kevin will be looking to go one better this time, the obvious obstacles he will have to overcome are: Paul Heyman, Jimmy and Jey Uso, Solo Sikoa and the x-factor in this story, Sami Zayn, this will be an excellent match, when all is said and done here, Roman's reign, no pun intended, will continue.
Predicted Winner: and STILL Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Roman Reigns.

RAW Women's Championship Match 
Bianca Belair (c) vs. Alexa Bliss 

We know that ever since Alexa Bliss joined The Fiend during the Performance Center era, she has not been the same, now that she is under the spell of Uncle Howdy, she has become more dangerous, whereas Bianca, the EST, the reigning and defending RAW Women's Champion, will be out for revenge after suffering an injury from the hands of Bliss weeks ago on Monday Night RAW. 
Predicted Winner: and STILL RAW Women's Champion. Bianca Belair. 

Men's Royal Rumble Match 
Many peoples favourite to win is Cody Rhodes, he has been out of action since defeating Seth Rollins last year, speaking of Seth, he is a previous winner and has been targeting Roman Reigns for quite a while so you can not rule him out, the other candidates are: Brock Lesnar and Sami Zayn, Sami is mentioned as the WWE fans are in full support of him as of late, this is similar to the Yes Movement. This was a very difficult choice to make, the final decision has been made, however, it is a VERY risky one, predictions are all part of the fun, one hundred percent, this person might NOT even be in the match, it is what it is, but, if he is? the moment will no doubt be....Electrifying! Predicted Winner: The Rock 

The predictions are now set and officially locked in, be sure to check back here for the review-ish on Sunday as well as archived content here on the website.
