Royal Rumble 2022 will be taking place next month (Inside sports)
Predictions for WWE Royal Rumble 2022 are out
After the conclusion of WWE Day 1, now it’s the time of the annual extravaganza, The Royal Rumble. It has been a staple pay-per-view that has been going on since 1988. It is the ultimate event for the Road to WrestleMania.
The event is scheduled to take place next month in February. But, first, let us look at the matches taking place at the event.
This is one of the biggest pay-per-view matches of the year. The present roster and the Hall of Famers or famous veterans make entry.
To this point, Jackass star Johnny Knoxville is the only person announced for the men’s Royal Rumble match. The winner of this match is expected to come from Raw, with most expecting a Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns clash at WrestleMania.
It might be Big E, or Bobby Lashley could win for the first time. Seth Rollins is one of the top contenders for the WWE Championship. He could win the match.
Women’s Royal Rumble has been taking place over the past four years, and it is going to take place this year as well. It will include several surprises and NXT talent to get 30 participants.
Former SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley could make her come back and win the Royal Rumble, or it can be Bianca Belair, who has already won it once.
Some dark-horses includes Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley, who could undoubtedly pull up the win and become contenders for WrestleMania. In addition, Beth Phoenix, who recently made her return to WWE Tv, might also win the event and challenge Becky Lynch for the Raw Women’s Champion.
WWE teased a rivalry between Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks but never followed it up. Now that Toni Storm is not a part of WWE, Banks seem to be the number 1 contender to challenge SmackDown Women’s title against The Queen.
A controversial finish that sees Flair escape with her title, then Banks went to win the Rumble later in the night to challenge her at WrestleMania will be worth visiting the fans.
Brock Lesnar celebrated his sixth reign as a world champion in WWE on Day 1. However, Bobby Lashley has expressed his desire to face The Beast, and this week on Raw, it has been confirmed that Lashley will be facing Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble.
Lashley speared Lesnar two times on Day 1 and even put him in The Hurt Lock. The company teased the fans through the match by placing a fire between them, and now they will be witnessing a battle for the first time.
