#3 Lesnar to retain

A decision that might anger fans

At the 2019 Royal Rumble, we thought we were going to see Braun Strowman receive another chance to take the Universal Championship away from Brock Lesnar, and while many were betting on Bruan Strowman to finally beat Lesnar for the title, WWE changed the plans, and Lesnar will now face Finn Balor at the Royal Rumble for the Universal Championship. But it seems like Lesnar could still be walking away as the Universal Champion when it is all said and done.

According to rumours that have been circling recently, Lesnar is going to hold on to the Universal Championship until Wrestlemania, and while that is not what fans want to hear, and that could have been why WWE pulled Braun from this match, as it would have destroyed his credibility.

Strowman needs to be rebuilt right now, and that is why WWE put Balor in his place, but that doesn't change the notion that Lesnar will be going to Wrestlemania as the Universal Champion.


#4 Charlotte or Becky to win the Royal Rumble

Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch set the wrestling world alight last year with their feud, as the years of built-up tension between these two former friends really made for some quality television, and more importantly, it made Becky a huge anti-hero in the process. And it seems like their rivalry won't be cooling off anytime soon as WWE is set on having either of them challenge Ronda Rousey at Wrestlemania.

According to certain speculation, Wrestlemania 35 main event is going to be a historic one, as Ronda Rousey could close out the show, but the news of who her opponent is going to be is still under a bit of scrutiny, as WWE is not sure whether to have a one on one match with Ronda vs Becky or Charlotte, while this could end up being a triple threat match, that the fact remains the Royal Rumble winner could be any one of these two stars.


#5 Seth Rollins to win the Royal Rumble

The rumour of who is going to be the top guy on Raw after Wrestlemania is over is not that ambiguous, as only two men are strong enough to lead the flagship show going forward, and while Finn Balor looks sort of credible enough to challenge for the Universal Title at the Royal Rumble, it doesn't seem like WWE will change their plans with regards to the top guy on Raw.

And all rumours lead to Seth Rollins being the man to win the Royal Rumble this year and go on to win the Universal Champion at Wrestlemania. While there are a whole host of stars out there that would be more eligible to win the Royal Rumble, it seems like Rollins is being pushed as the top babyface on Raw, so this rumour could have some validity to it.
