3 Feuds that might continue after Royal Rumble
Royal Rumble is the first PPV of the year, and it always brings excitement. As a matter of fact, it is one of WWE's big four PPVs. The other three mega PPVs are WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series. This year's Rumble will be held at Chase Field in Pheonix, Arizona.
The inaugural PPV made its way in 1988, and it has a long history. The battle royale match is the main attraction of the event where the participants eliminate each other from the ring. The last surviving participant becomes the winner and gets an opportunity to headline WrestleMania.
WWE introduced the women's Royal Rumble match last year and Asuka won the maiden match. Hence, two Rumble matches will be held again this year. Several title matches are confirmed as well. The WWE championship will be on the line, as Daniel Bryan will defend his title against AJ Styles.
Brock Lesnar will defend the Universal Champion against Finn Balor. Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey will collide with Sasha Banks. Also, Smackdown Women's Champion Asuka will face Becky Lynch and US Champion Rusev will lock horns with Nakamura and Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy will defend his in fatal-4 way match.
The road to WrestleMania begins at the Royal Rumble. Currently, there are several exciting rivalries with a good storyline. Some of the feuds might continue to Wrestlemania 35. Here we discuss three current feuds that might continue after Royal Rumble.
#3 Dean Ambrose vs Bobby Lashley
Dean Ambrose won the Intercontinental title at TLC last year when he defeated Seth Rollins. In fact, Ambrose and Rollins had a remarkable rivalry after Ambrose turned heel last year. While Lashley was involved in several small feuds but he did not have any noteworthy rivalry. Hence, Lashley and Ambrose could have an exciting feud after Lashley clinched the Intercontinental title in a triple threat match.
Lashley made his WWE return last year, and he returned after ten years. He defeated Roman Reigns, but his run has been substandard. Lashley has been involved in numerous small feuds, but he needs a strong feud to make an impact.
He was expected to get a significant push after his achievement in MMA and TNA. However, a strong rivalry with Ambrose could lift his stature, and he is expected to stay Intercontinental Champion for a long time. Lashley is a heel, but Ambrose is also a heel. As a result, one of the two superstars could turn face after Royal Rumble. The feud could continue till WrestleMania 35.
