Throw in Samoa Joe, Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt, and you're almost at a dozen candidates to win the match. Baron Corbin and Braun Strowman could be classed as winners in their own right, and returning stars like Finn Balor may immediately jump to the front of the queue if they return at the show. They range from part-time veterans like The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar and Goldberg to mainstays of the company like Chris Jericho and The Miz. There seem to be credible and realistic winners up and down the lineup. Whereas it's been fairly easy to pick out Triple H, Roman Reigns and Batista as the last three winners of the Royal Rumble match, this year's is the toughest to predict in a long time. However, Jericho's influence on the title match, hovering above the ring in a shark cage, seems more likely to set up a Reigns victory. The only saving grace for Owens remaining champion looks is if Jericho wins the Royal Rumble for the first time in his career, meaning their likely match will be for the Universal Championship. When you factor in that Kevin Owens can drop back into a United States Championship feud with Chris Jericho, it looks like Reigns will go over on Sunday-no matter how much WWE fans dislike the concept. Therefore it seems likely he will be holding the top title going into that show. WWE will have Roman Reigns feature as a pivotal part of the card at WrestleMania 33. While Styles' title match against Cena is difficult to call as things stand, the WWE Universal Championship bout is slightly easier to predict.
The fact that nobody is quite sure who will win-or what is in store for both men beyond Sunday night-makes things all the more intriguing. So with Styles' ability and the potential for the two to have a lengthy match if time permits, this has all the makings of a classic.
Cena is notoriously great at raising his game for big matches-his previous bouts against Styles and matches against the likes of CM Punk in recent years prove that. The WWE Championship-and a potential place in the main event of WrestleMania 33-will be on the line as John Cena looks to make history at the Royal Rumble.Ĭan AJ Styles retain his championship and round off a stellar first year in the company, or will Cena finally gain revenge for his defeat to The Phenomenal One at last year's SummerSlam?Įither way, it promises to be a fantastic contest.
