WWE Royal Rumble 2024 is just a few weeks away, and the event is all set to feature a star-studded Men's Rumble, including top names like Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, and more.
The first stop on the Road to WrestleMania 40 is WWE Royal Rumble 2024. The event will feature a traditional 30-man Rumble to decide who will headline this year's Show of Shows. While some have been betting on The Rock's victory, others think Cody Rhodes will enter the history books by winning the bout twice in a row.
The match will also feature confrontations that will build matches for WrestleMania or tease fans for dream matches to come in the future. Without further ado, here are five dream confrontations that could thrill fans during the battle.
#5. The Miz meets MJF
Former AEW World Champion MJF's status with Tony Khan's promotion hasn't been disclosed yet, leading some fans to think he will eventually join WWE. If that is to happen, he could enter the Men's Royal Rumble match.
MJF has always been compared to The Miz when it comes to his character and promo skills. If he emerges in Titanland, he and The A-Lister could confront each other, seemingly teasing a WrestleMania-worthy dream match. Two of the baddest heels to ever step foot inside a ring face-to-face could generate a thunderous pop on January 27.
#4. Cody Rhodes confronts CM Punk
Cody Rhodes has been trying to complete his story of defeating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania since his unfortunate loss at last year's Showcase of The Immortals. However, the biggest obstacle in his way is CM Punk, who will likely meet him in the Rumble.
The two could even be the last two competitors in the match, leaving fans impatient to witness the winner. The Straight Edge Superstar may finish The American Nightmare's story to complete his dream of winning the Royal Rumble and headlining WrestleMania.
#3. The Usos go face-to-face
The Usos worked as one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history until SummerSlam 2023, when Jimmy Uso betrayed his twin to ensure Roman Reigns stayed the WWE Universal Champion.
While the two have been separated on different brands for now, their match against each other may happen at WrestleMania 40. The two have always wanted to face each other on The Grandest Stage of Them All, and WWE Royal Rumble 2024 could help turn the dream into reality.
The two could confront each other, and perhaps Jey Uso could eliminate Jimmy Uso from the Men's Rumble. Jimmy could then go berserk and assault his twin, starting the build to their dream match at WrestleMania 40.
#2. The American Nightmare meets The Rock
Both Cody Rhodes and The Rock are rumored to face Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 40 for the WWE Universal Championship. However, only one will get to battle The Tribal Chief at 'Mania.
While The Rock hasn't declared his entry into the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble match, he could be a surprise entrant and confront Cody Rhodes. The confrontation will tease a dream match and thrill fans about who will finally face Roman Reigns at WWE WrestleMania 40.
#1. Brock Lesnar confronts Gunther at WWE Royal Rumble 2024
Gunther has arguably been the most dominant Intercontinental Champion in history, but his biggest challenge could be none other than Brock Lesnar.
A confrontation between the two happened at the last edition of Royal Rumble, which kept fans wanting more. This year, Lesnar could return as a surprise entrant and confront Gunther to eliminate The Ring General from the battle. The angle could lead to a spectacular encounter between the two for the Intercontinental Championship at WWE WrestleMania 40.
Which of these confrontations are you looking forward to? Let us know in the comments section.
