The anticipation is killing us. The Royal Rumble this Sunday live on the award-winning WWE Network could possibly be one of the greatest in its chronological history.

The 2019 opening biggie will be live from Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona this Sunday where sixty male and female WWE superstars would enter the squared circle with only one aim - to get a golden opportunity to headline WrestleMania 35.

Barring how the outcomes of the Royal Rumble matches have transpired in the last few years, Vince McMahon could be on the verge of altering the complexion of the business by engaging the audience with some creativity.

Judging by how many underutilized superstars have been gravitating the spotlight recently, WWE certainly acknowledges the pressure is received from the inception of All Elite Wrestling.

With Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch rumoured to walk out of Phoenix as the respective Royal Rumble winners of their matches, one wonders how will the entire night fare if the company is indeed serious about getting things in this Road to WrestleMania.

Will we see something special happening at the Royal Rumble or will it end up being the same predictable night we all desperately would want to forget? Let's find out.

Here are the 10 biggest Last-Minute Predictions for the Royal Rumble 2019.


#1 The former Raw Tag-Team Champions enter the Royal Rumble match

Will they enter Chase Field?
Will they enter Chase Field?

With the tag-team division on Monday Night Raw struggling to entice the fans, the company could be planning to bring two former Raw Tag-Team Champions back to the squared circle.

While Bray Wyatt is rumoured to return soon, it is Matt Hardy who could accompany him this Sunday and make things more compelling for the tag-team division.

They are heavily rumoured to grace the audience with their appearance and by being out in the sidelines for so long, they could add some star presence to the division we all have loved watching.

Expect this to get a fair reaction this Sunday, with the Deleter of Worlds portraying their perplexing antics to perfection, with a possible confrontation with the Revival.

#2 Two of the biggest stars in professional wrestling don't show up

This is a spoiler
This is a spoiler

Despite the speculations that are surrounding Kenny Omega and his possible debut at the Royal Rumble, there's absolutely no way he could show up this Sunday.

The same goes for the Big Dog, Roman Reigns. Considering the fans are legitimately expecting these two to show up at Chase Field, Omega is likely to join forces with his friends in All Elite Wrestling.

Since the Cleaner and the former Universal Champion are such big names in the world of professional wrestling, it would be ideal if we keep our hopes down and not expect these two to bring the house down in any way or form this Sunday.


#3 The Extraordinary Man enters Chase Field as 'The Demon King'

Are we in for a major surprise?
Are we in for a major surprise?

With many fans predicting the Universal Championship to end fair and square with Brock Lesnar successfully retaining the gold, the company could still end up surprising us.

While Finn Balor has stated that he would enter Chase Field without the face-paint, this could also be a signal to swerve the fans in order to create more excitement for the bout.

The Demon King is one of the biggest elements in elevating Balor's stardom and this Sunday could be a massive night for him if he eventually gets the job done and slays the Beast Incarnate for the Universal Championship.

Despite the fact that Brock Lesnar dropping the belt to Balor doesn't make sense, but the constant pressure from All Elite Wrestling could coerce the WWE into booking an absolute swerve this Sunday in Arizona.

#4 The Unsung Hero of Monday Night Raw turns heel and savagely assaults the Rowdy One

The Boss has to make a statement
The Boss has to make a statement

While in no way I'm predicting that Sasha Banks would walk into Phoenix and tap the holy hell out of Ronda Rousey, I genuinely believe that an unfortunate loss to the Raw Women's Champion could coerce the Boss to see things in a different way.

There's no denying that Banks is one of the biggest underutilized stars in the entire company and has suffered the wrath of predictable booking on Monday Night Raw.

Considering that the company have finally brought some spotlight on her, she could run riot with the Rowdy One this Sunday and will certainly do whatever it takes to walk out with the gold.

Since it's almost impossible that Ronda would drop the belt here, the company could keep the momentum going for the Boss, with the former Raw Women's Champion imploding and savagely assaulting Rousey to end the match.


#5 Velveteen Dream finally makes his main roster debut

This could be incredible
This could be incredible

Another possibility that could take WWE by storm this Sunday is the arrival of Velveteen Dream who is widely recognized as the most talented individuals in the world of professional wrestling today.

Triple H's visionary booking and Dream's undying charisma has propelled his career to the top of the mountain and with the NXT Sensation missing out on the Takeover match-card, there could be plans for him to make the transition as soon as possible.

With the fans expecting something sensational to go down in the Royal Rumble match, Dream's debut on the main roster could genuinely bring the house down in Chase Field this Sunday.


#6 Shane McMahon and the Miz win the SmackDown Tag-Team Championships

Is this happening?
Is this happening?

If the current storyline is anything to take into consideration, then we could see Shane McMahon and the Miz genuinely defeating the Bar to win the SmackDown Tag-Team Championships.

Considering that the fans vehemently criticized the idea of Shane McMahon winning the WWE World Cup, the company twisted the entire angle by including Miz in a comic angle with Shane O'Mac.

While their chemistry is certainly cracking it on the blue brand, they have a genuine chance of outshining the Bar this Sunday which would keep them together till WrestleMania 35.

The A-Lister can gravitate the audience with his heel antics and could work pretty well with a babyface like Shane O'Mac.

#7 AJ Styles attacks Vince McMahon after failing to win the WWE Championship

This could get intriguing
This could get intriguing

Despite the fact that AJ Styles' clash with the 'New' Daniel Bryan could steal the show this Sunday, the Phenomenal One looks perfectly fine without the most coveted prize in sports entertainment, at the moment.

Since the company teased a possible snapping of AJ Styles after he unleashed his real side and displayed his black heart in an engaging confrontation with Vince McMahon, something similar could happen again this Sunday.

With the Phenomenal One failing to grab hold on the WWE Championship, not having a Road to WrestleMania could coerce him to get the Chairman's attention again by unleashing his fierce side.

Personally speaking, I'm genuinely excited about how this is all going to pan out, with the company putting significant emphasis on the former WWE Champion's journey to the Show of Shows.


#8 Drew Mcintyre dominates the scene and eliminates Braun Strowman out of the Royal Rumble

Will this happen?
Will this happen?

One competitor who is currently being hailed as Vince McMahon's biggest projects and rightfully so too is Drew Mcintyre.

The Scottish Terminator is a huge favorite to walk out of Chase Field as the winner of the Royal Rumble match, alongside the Architect, Seth Rollins.

While my money would still be on Seth Rollins to dethrone all competition to stamp his name in the main event of WrestleMania, Vince McMahon would certainly present Mcintyre as a force to be reckoned with in the Royal Rumble match.

With Braun Strowman also rumored to make an appearance, the former NXT Champion could take advantage of the opportunity and eliminate the Monster Among Men in order to ignite a program with him.

#9 Charlotte wins the Women's Royal Rumble match after eliminating Shayna Baszler and Becky Lynch

All hail the Queen
All hail the Queen

Since we would be definitely seeing a triple-threat match between Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair to close WrestleMania 35 in New Jersey, this would be an ideal time for the WWE to push the Queen to the top.

There's no denying that the fans want to see the Relentless One, Becky Lynch to win it all and punch her ticket to a title shot against the Rowdy One.

However, booking Becky to win this would certainly diminish Charlotte's credibility, with the Queen almost losing all her bouts with the Man in most of 2018.

Losing this one would ignite the crowd to propel Becky to the top of the ladder which would make more sense and would prove more fulfilling when she eventually enters the main event of WrestleMania 35.

As far as eliminations are concerned, a debuting Shayna Baszler could coerce Lynch out of the scene, with the Queen eventually taking benefit of the opportunity and dethroning them both to win it all.


#10 Seth Rollins wins the Royal Rumble after eliminating AJ Styles

The Architect is bound to win
The Architect is bound to win

Seth Rollins is one of the most talented superstars on the planet and has earned the adulation of the audience through his incredible body of work as a wrestler.

The Architect is the favorite walk out of Chase Field as the winner of the Royal Rumble as well as the potential Beast Slayer at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

With the fans genuinely excited on how it all will pan out, it could be AJ Styles who ends the bout with the former WWE Champion in a chilling confrontation.
