WWE Royal Rumble 2019: Final Last Minute Predictions
The big PPV is just around the corner and this has to be the time when it all falls in place for WWE. After Backlash, Vince Mcmahon with his whole entourage had stepped into the WWE ring and announced that there were going to be some overhauls in the way things happened in the company and there were going to be some changes.
It's true that there have been changes and there has been a marginal improvement in the quality of product that WWE has produced in recent times but the Royal Rumble, probably the second most important PPV of the year after the WrestleMania will be the real acid test to see whether things are starting to become better or not.
The card is ready and everything is finalized so let's go through the full match-card, be the betting man and make some final minute predictions for the matches that are in store.
#1 Rusev vs Nakamura - US Championship
Well, it's almost sad to see stars of the caliber of Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev relegated to pre-shows but it sometimes gives clear evidence of why WWE has faced such a massive decline in ratings.
They just don't put enough value on the US Championship and it's too evident now. If you yourself don't take things seriously, no one else will.
It's not too long ago these two closed out SmackDown Live in one of the best matches that Rusev has been involved in. Ever since, Rusev and Nakamura have been pretty much off the TV, and to such an extent that the feud has lost all the steam.
Talking about the match, it looks highly unlikely that Rusev would relinquish the title on his very first defense against the guy he had just won the title from.
My Prediction: Rusev defeats Shinsuke Nakamura
