Hey guys! Welcome to another blog post. This Saturday is the Royal Rumble which is one of my favorite shows of the year. I love the surprise element of it and not knowing who is coming out next.
This week, I am doing my Royal Rumble predictions. In this post, I will be including my Royal Rumble predictions as well as 5 people I would love to see in both Royal Rumble matches and my entry predictions.
So, let's start with my predictions.
These matches aren't in order but I am going to start with the men's royal rumble match. The royal rumble matches are always hard for me to predict because you don't know all of the entrants until the match actually starts and all of the entrants have already entered the ring. That's why when I do my royal rumble predictions, I usually just choose a winner out of all of the entrants that have already been confirmed. 15 out of 30 entrants have already been confirmed for the rumble and they are:
La Knight
John Cena
CM Punk
Jey Uso
Roman Reigns
Seth Rollins
Drew McIntyre
Rey Mysterio
Sami Zayn
Shinsuke Nakamura
Logan Paul
Penta
Chad Gable
Bron Breakker
Carmelo Hayes
Out of the entrants already confirmed, I think I'm going to go with Roman Reigns. If he does win, yes, we might have Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns for the title at Wrestlemania for the third year in a row but all of their matches have been absolute bangers so I wouldn't hate it. It also does make a lot of sense. Cody won the rumble two years in a row to go after Roman's title. Now, Roman could return the favor by winning the rumble and going after Cody's title. He's also already mentioned that he wants his title back so I think having Roman win the rumble would make the most sense.
Next is the women's royal rumble match. Here are the 10 entrants already confirmed:
Nia Jax
Bayley
Charlotte Flair
Naomi
Bianca Belair
Liv Morgan
Raquel Rodriguez
Lyra Valkyria
Ivy Nile
Iyo Sky
This one is a bit harder for me to predict because having a lot of these women win would make sense. However, if I had to pick, I would probably go with Liv Morgan because she was the runner up for the past two royal rumbles and she just lost the title to Rhea Ripley so I could imagine she would want her title back.
The next match is Cody Rhodes vs Kevin Owens in a ladder match for the undisputed WWE championship. I think Cody Rhodes is going to win but only by the skin of his teeth. I'm expecting Sami Zayn to come out and something might happen between Cody/Kevin/Sami and KO could come so close to winning but Cody will come out on top.
The final match confirmed so far is DIY for MCMG for the tag team titles in a two out of three falls match. #DIY turned heel the night they won the titles and you would think a two out of three falls match would benefit the good guys but I see #DIY walking out still the champions.
Those are all of my predictions. Here are five people I would love to see in both the men's and women's royal rumbles (some will be in my entry predictions and some won't).
Men's rumble:
Joe Hendry - WWE & TNA have recently signed a contract together. We may see some crossovers between the two companies. I'm expecting at least one TNA star in both rumbles. I can see Joe Hendry being in the men's rumble. All you have to do is say his name.
Big E - He has been out with a neck injury for about 3 years and he returned for one night with a segment with Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston where both Xavier & Kofi turned on him. Xavier claimed that he will "never be medically cleared" by you can never say never when it comes to wrestling. Edge broke his neck and returned about 10 years later. I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) Saraya (FKA Paige) broke her neck and returned to wrestling when she joined AEW. So, I'm expecting Kofi & Xavier to enter the rumble this year, the countdown will start and we hear Big E's music and Big E will come out and eliminate both of them. I would love that very much.
MJF - This is more than likely not going to happen but I would love to see MJF in the rumble.
Trick Williams - WWE usually has at least one NXT star in each royal rumble match and one NXT star that I would love to see in the rumble this year is Trick Williams. He has history with Carmelo Hayes who is already confirmed to be in the rumble. So, Carmelo could come out with Trick Williams not too far behind.
The Rock - Just imagine the pop this man would get. He could enter the royal rumble and have this huge face-off with Roman Reigns. I would be so here for this!
Women's rumble:
AJ Lee - I think that if AJ Lee is going to return at the royal rumble, it could happen this year. She has been on my Royal Rumble wishlist for years and I can honestly see it happening this year. CM Punk (AJ Lee's husband) recently stated in an interview with Jackie Redmond "There's gonna be a big one...I'm not gonna say anything because I'll get in trouble." It has to be AJ Lee.
Kharma - This probably won't happen but I didn't become a WWE fan until 2016 so I never saw much of Kharma. However, after watching some of her matches/segments, I'm a fan and I would love to see her in the rumble.
Rosemary - As I've mentioned before, WWE & TNA signed a contract so we could expect to see some TNA stars in the royal rumble. Rosemary is from TNA but she made an appearance in NXT a while back, so, we could see her in the rumble.
Alexa Bliss - Alexa Bliss went on maternity leave in early 2023 and she has been in talks with WWE recently about making her return so I'm expecting her to return very soon.
Carmella - Carmella also went on maternity leave in March 2023. I haven't heard of any rumors about her return so I would love to see her return at the rumble but I think Alexa will come back before Carmella.
The last part of this post will be my entry predictions. Obviously, this isn't the actual order of the rumble. This is who I think is coming out at what number. Before, I start, though, I do want to mention that I am constantly changing my entry predictions so, these are my predictions as of now. However, some of these will probably change and some stars may get taken out and replaced. I will post my final entry predictions on Instagram (@terrortwinsxo) on either Friday night or Saturday morning before the show. So, all of the predictions that are posted on Instagram are final and will not change.

I think this year's entry predictions has been one of the most difficult for me because while I was scrolling through facebook yesterday, I saw that Stephanie McMahon apparently said that there are a lot of surprises in the Royal Rumble this year so, I didn't know who to put in and who to take out (I literally just spent 10 minutes editing this post and rearranging the women's entry predictions and I still don't know what to do LOL). So, as I've mentioned before, these entry predictions are not final and will most likely change before the show. So, sometime tonight or tomorrow morning I will post my final entry predictions on Instagram (@terrortwinsxo) and the entry predictions on Instagram will not change no matter how bad I want them too LOL.
Anyway, that's it for my predictions.
Until next time,
~Brianna.
