Predicting the winners of 2019 Royal Rumble PPV

Daniel Bryan (c) vs AJ Styles

Predicted winner: Daniel Bryan

This match is expected to be absolutely vicious. Both men have been at each other’s throats and have brawled all over the arena. AJ Styles has had the upper hand through the majority of this feud but he may not end up going over Daniel Bryan.

Daniel Bryan’s gimmick indicates that he will do anything to win this match even if he has to play a little dirty. This match could have a controversial finish with a DQ or Daniel Bryan could low blow Styles when the referee isn’t looking.

AJ Styles spent the better part of 2018 as WWE Champions hence it would make perfect sense for WWE to keep him away from the WWE title for a few more months (at least until WrestleMania).

Ronda Rousey (c) vs Sasha Banks

Predicted winner: Ronda Rousey

This match is probably one of the easiest matches to predict. Sasha Banks is currently in a tag team with Bayley and will most likely challenge for the Women’s Tag Titles. They may even become first-ever Women’s Tag Team Champions. This also means that Sasha won’t be walking away from the Royal Rumble as the RAW Women’s Champion.

Moreover, WWE may have even bigger plans for Rousey heading into WrestleMania 35 with regards to her opponent. Even though the result is quite obvious, the match itself promises to be exciting.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
