WWE Royal Rumble: 3 predictions for the pay-per-view after the recent turn of events
WWE's first landmark in the Road to WrestleMania, the Royal Rumble, is just one week away from this Sunday. However, as of late, things have been moving quickly in WWE.
While Sasha Banks earned a title shot against Ronda Rousey last week on Raw, WWE replaced Braun Strowman with Finn Balor in the Universal Championship match against Brock Lesnar this week on Raw. As a matter of fact, both Balor and Banks have been removed from their respective 30 men/women Royal Rumble matches.
The recent turn of events has made a lot of heads turn. Social media is buzzing with speculations and predictions for the Rumble after the recent developments.
While the recent developments have caused a stir all over the Internet, we might also see WWE making a few last minute changes in their booking decisions.
So, without further ado, we take a look at 3 predictions for the event after the recent turn of events.
#3 Braun Strowman turns heel
The Monster Among Men Braun Strowman lost his title shot against The Beast Brock Lesnar after a heated exchange with Vince McMahon. While his injury is assumed to be the real reason behind this, it is a major setback for Strowman nonetheless.
However, we might witness WWE turning him heel on January 27 at Royal Rumble. Given Lesnar is expected to feud with Rollins after Royal Rumble for the rumoured match at WrestleMania 35 between the duo, WWE might involve Strowman in a feud with Balor.
Strowman could show up in the championship match when the referee is knocked out to destroy Finn and turn heel.
This could lay down the breadcrumbs for a potential feud between The Boss of the Balor Club and The Monster Among Men for the following weeks.
