Could the WWE Champion become a major heel turn victim?

WWE Royal Rumble 2021 is one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the calendar year, because of all the twists and turns we could see during the course of the two Rumble matches and through the event, as a whole.

Even though thankfully, not all of the names at WWE Royal Rumble 2021 have been disclosed yet, we'll take a few liberties here because the names chosen in this article are likely to be in those matches.

As always, this is just a speculation article and is not based on insider information at all. So, if you think that there are a few other betrayals we could potentially see at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, be sure to list them in the comments below.

Who do you think will win the men's and women's Rumble matches at WWE Royal Rumble 2021 then?


#5 T-Bar eliminates Ali, unmasks himself at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, and breaks away from the RETRIBUTION faction at long last

It does make sense for all of RETRIBUTION to team up at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, in the men's Royal Rumble match at least, to eliminate the field and stand tall in the middle of the ring.

However, because it is every man for himself at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, there is a chance that T-Bar or one of the other members of RETRIBUTION could be responsible for eliminating the leader, Mustafa Ali, leading to a whole new bunch of storylines.

T-Bar is played by Dominik Dijakovic from NXT who is one of the most gifted professional wrestlers on the planet, and for him to go solo would only do wonders for his wrestling career. This and more could certainly take place at WWE Royal Rumble 2021.

#4 Bianca Belair wins the women's match at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, picks Sasha Banks as her opponent, and then goes heel

Bianca Belair is probably the favorite to stand tall at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, to win the women's Royal Rumble match, by a long shot. The only other real candidate is Alexa Bliss, based on the way that she has been built thus far.

You literally had Bianca Belair carry Otis in her shoulder in the build to WWE Royal Rumble 2021 to prove that she is one of the strongest Superstars in the entire company at the moment.

So, when she wins the Royal Rumble match, she could potentially challenge Sasha Banks instantly, calling her down to the ring, and when people least expect it, she could sock Sasha Banks in the face, turning heel. Bianca Belair could then use her heel turn to climb the ranks following WWE Royal Rumble 2021.

You need a babyface facing a heel at WrestleMania, and this could be the best way to go about it, for sure.

#3 Cedric Alexander eliminates Bobby Lashley from WWE Royal Rumble 2021 and quits The Hurt Business, going babyface at last

Could it be Cedric Alexander that eliminates Bobby Lashley at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, going babyface at long last? This makes all the sense in the world because the groundwork for the same has been laid.

The Hurt Business and Cedric Alexander have been squabbling all the way until WWE Royal Rumble 2021, and it could mean that the group is destined to dissolve at the pay-per-view. We know that Bobby Lashley has announced his entry into WWE Royal Rumble 2021, even though the company made an enormous botch when they first made the announcement.

Cedric Alexander could potentially embark on a singles run and be the person who overthrows Bobby Lashley to be crowned the brand new WWE United States Champion at WrestleMania. As for the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships, their fate could play out on the upcoming episodes of RAW in the form of a tournament or a special match, with new teams.

#2 Peyton Royce proves that she is a heel by eliminating Billie Kay at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, making Kay a major sympathetic babyface at long last

To hype up WWE Royal Rumble 2021, Peyton Royce caught up with SK Wrestling for a candid interview, where she spoke about The IIconics splitting up in what was the most shocking decision of the year. Billie Kay chimed in with her thoughts too. Maybe something very interesting could emerge from this split and play out at the upcoming Rumble.

Could Peyton Royce, who has seemingly gone heel after teaming up with Lacey Evans, tease a reunion by pretending to team up with Billie Kay, ending up eliminating her from WWE Royal Rumble 2021, embracing her heel side at last?

We have seen how likable and how hilarious Billie Kay can be in her current avatar, and for Peyton Royce to go completely heel would help her immensely. The seeds could be laid at WWE Royal Rumble 2021 for a fantastic match at some point down the line.

#1 Sheamus costs Drew McIntyre the WWE Championship at WWE Royal Rumble 2021, going heel once again

Prior to WWE Royal Rumble 2021, Drew McIntyre caught up with SK Wrestling to discuss the event, WWE Superstar Spectacle, Jinder Mahal, Sheamus, and much more. Please check out the interview by clicking on the links above and below too once you're done reading this piece.

Drew McIntyre is scheduled to face Goldberg at WWE Royal Rumble 2021 in what is possibly the biggest match of his entire career. Thus far, Sheamus has been portrayed as a friend and ally of his, but there's every chance that he could be the man that costs Drew McIntyre the WWE Championship.

Drew McIntyre vs, Sheamus could then begin after WWE Royal Rumble 2021 and continue all the way until WrestleMania, where McIntyre goes up against Goldberg for the WWE Championship once more.
