After celebrating Monday Night Raw’s 30th anniversary with WWE, the WWE Universe is now eagerly awaiting the Royal Rumble 2023, which will take place in just 3 days. The Royal Rumble is one of the top four events of the year, and because of its unpredictable nature, fans never know what to expect. For the Royal Rumble, WWE has a packed match schedule, and this might be one of the largest events in history.
Roman Reigns will defend his belts against Kevin Owens, and there will be Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumbles. There will be a few more matches held at the tournament. We take a look at 5 things that may happen at WWE Royal Rumble 2023 three days before the much-anticipated event.
Seth Rollins unexpectedly appeared as Reigns’ Royal Rumble foe last year. They then engaged in a brief but compelling feud for the Universal Championship, which resulted in a fantastic battle at the pay-per-view. Due to Reigns’ deliberate disqualification, Rollins prevailed in that fiercely contested match.
According to the narrative, The Tribal Chief was unable to defeat his old Shield comrade in crucial situations. And at the Rumble, that was once more the situation as a result of his own actions. Strangely, the angle was immediately abandoned and was never brought up again. Since then, Rollins and Reigns have crossed paths a few times, but they have yet to square off with gold on the line.
Even though Rollins is now involved in the race for the United States Championship, he shouldn’t be in the long run. He may return his attention to Reigns after his conflict with Austin Theory is over.
It would be appropriate to revisit this rematch for the Rumble, and it would also add excitement to the PPV. Rollins has a higher chance of ousting The Tribal Chief since he is the only person who truly recognizes Reigns.
Rhea Ripley is one of WWE’s most popular superstars right now, and it’s definitely time for her to win the Royal Rumble and reclaim her championship. Rhea has worked hard to become a top superstar in the program, and a championship will help her further her career. She has never won the Smackdown Women’s Championship and should face Charlotte Flair. At Wrestlemania 36, Charlotte beat Rhea to win the NXT Women’s Championship.
With the way the storylines going, it might happen that Zayn betrays Roman Reigns for his best friend Kevin Owens. With this Kevin Owens will win the WWE universal championship and Zayn becomes the target for The Bloodline to start a new rivalry between The Tribal Chief and Sami Zayn. Zayn has been giving his career’s best work. So, if this happens The Tribal Chief is just a Helluva kick away to lose his WWE Universal Championship at WWE Royal Rumble.
Since Wrestlemania 38, Roman Reigns has held both the WWE Universal Championship and the WWE Championship. Since he is now a part-time WWE superstar, he is no longer defending the major titles at live events, and they are rarely up for grabs on weekly shows. Reigns will defend his belts at Royal Rumble 2023 after over 3 months.
Kevin Owens could surprise the WWE Universe by capturing one of the belts, resulting in two champions in Wrestlemania 39. WWE can simply protect Reigns by causing him to lose. They can include a clause stating that if the match is disqualified, he would lose one of the championships. Sami Zayn can take care of the rest.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been questioned about a potential WWE comeback while out appearing in the media to promote his most recent movie, “Black Adam,” which has been released in past months. For the past several years, there has been chatter about WWE wanting The Rock to return for one more encounter to face his cousin Roman Reigns.
The Rock vs. Reigns is a bout that WWE hopes to book for WrestleMania 39, but it hasn’t been finalized due to The Rock’s schedule. The Rock said that he is the Head of the Table when questioned during his appearance on E! News The Rundown. He said, “Who is the head of the table? Without saying any names, you’re looking into his eyes right now.”
Also, this incident gave hope of seeing the dream match between the brothers. Also, recently it is been speculated that The Rock will appear at The RAW is XXX which is creating quite a hype in the WWE universe. If this bout happens for WrestleMania 39, it will become the most memorable WrestleMania as well.
