WWE Royal Rumble 2018: Early predictions for all the matches

#4 Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Sasha Banks - WWE Raw Women's Championship match

This match came out of the blue, as until very recently Sasha Banks and Bayley were regarded as strong contenders to win the inaugural Women's tag team titles. Ronda Rousey running out of credible challengers on Raw has forced WWE to book this match for the Royal Rumble PPV.

This is expected to be a one-match affair between the two superstars as it is clear that Ronda Rousey is just biding her time until Wrestlemania 35 where she is set to face the toughest challenge yet in her WWE career.

Expect a hard-fought quality bout between the two top superstars with Ronda Rousey emerging victorious cleanly in the end.

Prediction - Ronda Rousey wins and retains the Raw Women's Championship
