Bayley will attempt to conquer Charlotte’s unbeaten streak

Charlotte Flair had a great 2016, becoming a four-time Women’s Champion. She has an incredible record in pay per view, and she went through 2016 without a single loss in singles competition in PPV. However, all that can change very quickly as Bayley laces her boots to take on Charlotte at the Royal Rumble.

Despite her incredible record last year, Charlotte has been vulnerable while facing Bayley, losing twice to her in non-title singles matches. A third loss was erased after Charlotte pulled some strings backstage.

Bayley will try to create history by becoming the first woman to beat Charlotte at a PPV in over a year as she stands face-to-face with ‘The Queen’ at the Royal Rumble.


AJ Styles(C) vs. John Cena for the WWE Championship

History beckons John Cena as he steps into the ring against AJ Styles with the WWE Championship at the line. The Leader of Cenation will look to equal Ric Flair’s record of 16 World Championships, a laurel that has eluded him for a while now.

AJ Styles, on the other hand, will look to foil Cena’s bid once again as he looks for his third singles victory over John Cena. The road to the Rumble has been a difficult one for Cena as he was out of the ring for most of 2016.
