Predicting the champions after Royal Rumble PPV 2019
We're just a week away from the first big four PPV, the Royal Rumble. As of now, only seven championship matches have been announced, along with Men's and Women's Royal Rumble matches.
Moreover, WWE has announced a Worlds Collide Tournament, which will take place on 26th and 27th January at Royal Rumble Axxess. The tournament will feature several superstars from NXT, 205 Live and NXT UK. The winner of this event will receive an opportunity at any one of three championships - NXT, 205 Live, or NXT UK.
That being said, as Royal Rumble is one of the PPVs in WWE, we'll see several championships being defended on it, therefore a few titles are expected to change hands. Let's see who will be walking out of Phoenix as the champion.
#6 Raw Women's Champion - Ronda Rousey
It's been a while since we have seen The Boss, Sasha Banks in the Women's Title picture.
Now, Sasha Banks is scheduled to face Ronda Rousey at Royal Rumble for the Raw Women's Championship. She earned an opportunity to challenge for Rousey's title when she defeated Nia Jax in a one-on-one match.
Moreover, as per the report, Ronda Rousey herself asked the WWE officials to face Banks at the Rumble.
That being said, although Banks is back in the title picture after a very long time, that doesn't mean she's going to defeat Rousey cleanly at Rumble, as Rousey is rumored to win the main event of Wrestlemania 35.
Therefore, this rumored WM match takes away even the slightest possibility for Banks to become new Raw Women's Champion. Hence, expect Rousey to retain her title at Rumble.
Also, Banks and Bayley are rumored to become the inaugural WWE Women's Tag-Team Champions, therefore this could be another reason as to why we won't see Banks winning the Raw Women's Title at Royal Rumble PPV.
