In just a few weeks, the WWE Universe will witness the 32nd Royal Rumble pay per view, and if history is anything to go by, the fans should expect some shocking moments.

Who can forget when Mr. McMahon won the entire match from #2 in 1999, or when the rookie Maven shocked the world when he eliminated The Undertaker in 2002. And at the 2019 show, there will be just the second ever Women's Royal Rumble, after current SmackDown Women's Champion Asuka won the inaugural bout.

For the winners of the Royal Rumble match itself, they receive the ultimate prize, a guaranteed spot in a title match at WrestleMania. There are plenty of Superstars hoping to win, some who would benefit greatly from the huge victory, and some who wouldn't.

Here are three Superstars who should win the 2019 Men's Royal Rumble, and two who shouldn't


#3. Should win: Becky Lynch

2018 was definitely the year of the Man.

When Becky Lynch lost the SmackDown Women's Championship at TLC, some saw it as the end of what has been a career-defining run for the Man.

Look closer though, and you'll see that this loss was just the start of something bigger, as Lynch would be an excellent pic to win the 2nd Women's Royal Rumble. And instead of aiming to reclaim her championship from the Empress, it would be much more interesting for the Lass Kicker to jump to RAW, and challenge Ronda Rousey.

It was the UFC Hall of Famer, who cost Lynch the title in the first place, so having these two compete (in reportedly the main event of WrestleMania 35) would definitely draw fans in, with the Irish star potentially being the first woman to make the Hot Rod tap.

#2. Shouldn't win: Charlotte Flair

A multiple time women's champion, Flair has seen her fair share of high-profile matches in WWE.

Since debuting on the main roster, Charlotte Flair has had more success than any other woman. A multiple-time Women's Champion across RAW, SmackDown Live and NXT, Flair was also the final Diva's Champion.

Whilst her success has been epic, it has led to backlash from fans who are tired of seeing her dominate the title picture, even suggesting that the Queen is in the position she is only because of her Hall of Fame father, a ridiculous notion when you consider her natural talent, as well as the countless 2nd/3rd generation stars, who have been released because they lacked skill.

Having Flair return to the title picture though would not be a good move, and would only have fans turn on her, and the WWE's booking decisions, even more.

#2. Should win: Sasha Banks

Banks

Sasha Banks' time on the main roster has been a mixed one, to say the least.

A huge star in NXT, Banks moved up in 2015, being signed to RAW in the 2016 draft, with things looking hopeful. On the first RAW of the new era, Banks captured the RAW Women's Championship from Charlotte Flair, her first of four reigns with the title.

Unfortunately, all of these reigns have lasted mere weeks, with her last one being just eight days. This has definitely hurt the Boss, who hasn't gone near the title picture in over a year and isn't expected to anytime soon.

Winning the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble would be a huge shock for the WWE Universe, and would allow Banks one more shot at the RAW Women's Championship, and if successful, would hopefully have a decent reign.

#1. Shouldn't win: Nikki Bella

Bella shouldn't win next year's Rumble.

When Nikki Bella returned to the WWE last year, she was quickly thrust into the main event scene, getting a main event title match at the company's first all-female pay per view, Evolution.

And whilst she was pushed as one of the pioneer's of the women's revolution, it was clear that the fans were not having it and simply put, can't side with Nikki Bella.

Even for the few months when she was pushed as a face, the fans couldn't get on board with her, with many seeing her more-so as a Reality Show star, thanks in part due to Total Divas, Total Bellas and her widely publicized relationship with John Cena.

A rematch between Bella and Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 35 is a match few want to see, and the company would be foolish if they thought the Rumble match would change this.

#1. Should win: Bayley

Much like her Boss & Hugs counterpart, Bayley has had a very rough time since joining the main roster. In NXT, Bayley was one of the brand's most popular stars ever, with her quirky and fun-loving personality making her a natural babyface

But joining the main roster in 2016, the Huggable One has had just one RAW Women's Championship reign, which admittedly did see her retain the gold at WrestleMania 33.

Having Bayley win the 2019 Rumble would certainly please fans, as well as open up a whole box of possibilities. Perhaps Bayley would go toe-to-toe with Rousey and aim to be the first woman to beat her in WWE.

Or perhaps she would jump to SmackDown, and face Asuka, the woman who took her NXT Women's Championship in 2016. Either way, a Huggable win would be great to see.
