WWE Royal Rumble 2023: Full Card and Predictions
01/27/2023 06:06 pm EST
Undisputed WWE Universal Championship
Roman Reigns (champion) vs. Kevin Owens
Reigns and Owens have had their share of battles over the years, and this match will likely be intense. Reigns have been Universal Champion since August 2020 and WWE Champion since April of last year. Owens is looking to win the Universal Championship for the second time and the WWE Championship for the first time in his career.
Raw Women's Championship
Bianca Belair (champion) vs. Alexa Bliss
Belair has been Raw Women's Champion since beating Becky Lynch for the title at WrestleMania 39 last year. Bliss hasn't been Raw Women's Champion since 2018 and has shown she will do anything it takes to have the title around her waist.
The Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match
Bray Wyatt vs. LA Knight
Wyatt made his return to WWE in October after being released by the company in July 2021. He's taking on LA Knight who made his main roster debut last year after spending a year in NXT.
Women's Royal Rumble Match
The winner of the match can either face the Raw or SmackDown (or NXT) Women's Champion at WrestleMania. Some of the Superstars competing in the match are Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Zelina Vega, Emma, Rhea Ripley and Candice LeRae.
Men's Royal Rumble Match
The winner of the match can either face the Raw or SmackDown (or NXT) Champion at WrestleMania. Some of the Superstars competing in the match are Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, Ricochet, Bobby Lashley, Austin Theory, Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins.
Predictions
Undisputed WWE Championship: Roman Reigns
Raw Women's Championship: Bianca Belair
The Mountian Dew Pitch Black Match: Bray Wyatt
I think Regins and Belair will hold on to their titles until WrestleMania. Wyatt could lose to LA Knight due to interference from Uncle Howdy, but I don't see it happening.
More Predictions
Men's Royal Rumble: Cody Rhodes
Women's Royal Rumble: Rhea Ripley
Rhodes is an easy pick since he's returning and is on a path to winning the title. Ripley has been the most dominant female star over the last few months and the most likely pick to beat Belair for the RAW Women's Championship.
