WWE's 35th annual Royal Rumble event takes place on Saturday night and boasts both a men's and women's Rumble match.
Two of WrestleMania's main eventers will be confirmed by the end of the show and the card for the biggest event of the year will finally start to take shape. This weekend's event kickstarts the Road to WrestleMania and will also decide the champions heading into WrestleMania season.
Whilst The Royal Rumble matches are the headline of the show, Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns will also be looking to ensure their places in WrestleMania's main event by retaining their world championships.
With many combustible elements heading into this year's Royal Rumble, here are just six last-minute predictions.
#6. Becky Lynch defeats Doudrop - Ronda Rousey arrives at The Royal Rumble
Becky Lynch has history with Ronda Rousey as she became the first woman to pin The Baddest Woman on the planet at WrestleMania 35.
Rousey broke her hand in that match and then went on a lengthy hiatus, where she welcomed her first daughter. It's been almost four months since Rousey gave birth and it's likely that she will be back for revenge on Saturday night.
The former UFC Champion could be an entrant in the Women's Royal Rumble match but Rousey isn't someone who asks nicely. It makes more sense for the winner of the Rumble to challenge Charlotte, while Rousey could strut down that ramp and make it clear that she's coming for Becky Lynch.
#5. Edge and Beth Phoenix defeat The Miz and Maryse
Edge and Beth Phoenix will take on the team of The Miz and Maryse at The Rumble, knowing that The It Couple are yet to win a match as a team. The stars of Miz and Mrs have teamed together against the likes of Nikki Bella and John Cena, as well as Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella.
It will be interesting to see if The Miz and Maryse can remain on the same page, or if Maryse decides that she has had enough of cleaning up her husband's mess and leaves him to fight The Grit Couple all on his own.
Either way, it's highly unlikely that Beth Phoenix and Edge will be taking the loss on Saturday night, especially given the way the match has been built.
#4. Bobby Lashley is the surprise winner of the men's Royal Rumble match
Unpredictable? Yes. Bobby Lashley isn't one of the men who has already been announced for the Rumble match but he is someone who could make quite the impact.
If Lashley is unable to defeat Brock Lesnar earlier in the night, then what is his next move going to be? The Almighty would want to be in the men's Rumble match, other than The Hurt Business throwing him out, it's unlikely he'd be eliminated.
If the plan is still for Brock Lesnar to face off against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania and for Seth Rollins to face either Bobby Lashley or Big E then this route makes the most sense.
Big E won the men's Money in the Bank ladder match last year and had a relatively underwhelming run as champion, so it wouldn't make sense to push him to a Rumble victory.
Bobby Lashley will come out of his bout with Brock Lesnar looking worse for wear and will be seething after his loss. This would be a great way to help him recover and allow him to push forward to WrestleMania.
#3. Lita wins the Women's Royal Rumble match
WWE Hall of Famer Lita has already been announced as one of the entrants in the Women's Royal Rumble match.
Lita has been part of Rumble matches in the past and the former four-time Women's Champion has already set her sights on Charlotte.
It's hard to imagine that The Queen will be able to overlook that Twist of Fate on SmackDown, which means that these two stars are now on a collision course that could lead to WrestleMania.
There is currently no stand-out woman in the company that could dominate the match and in the absence of any real challengers for Charlotte, Lita makes the most sense.
In the four years that the Women's Royal Rumble match has been an annual affair, no Hall of Famer has been victorious. There have been many legends in the match, but many were only there to make up the numbers.
Lita could finally be the Hall of Famer that the company decides to bet it all on and her "one final run" could get off to the best possible start on Sunday night.
#2. Brock Lesnar defeats Bobby Lashley at The Royal Rumble
Brock Lesnar defends his WWE Championship against Bobby Lashley this weekend at The Royal Rumble.
This is considered to be a dream match for many members of the WWE Universe as the two men have a background in MMA and have been pushing to collide in a WWE ring for several years.
Lashley held the WWE Championship last year and has dominated the company over the past few months as part of The Hurt Business.
Lesnar is destined to have a showdown with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania and it's likely that The Beast Incarnate will be the one who retains his championship.
In all honesty, both championship matches could go either way. All four men are set to be part of the main title matches at WrestleMania.
Lesnar has been too hot to handle since his return and if he wants to be seen as on par with Roman Reigns heading into their showdown, then he needs to be able to overcome The All-Mighty.
#1. Seth Rollins finally pins Roman Reigns at The Royal Rumble
Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins cross paths once again this weekend at The Royal Rumble.
The pair debuted on the main roster together back in 2012 and over the past decade, they have been both friends and enemies. In championship matches, Rollins has been untouchable against Reigns. However, The Tribal Chief does look the more likely to come out on top if you look at their overall record.
The Usos will be banned from ringside on Saturday night so Reigns will be forced to show what he is capable of on his own. This could prove to be too much for him against someone of Rollins' caliber.
Rollins was The Architect of The Shield, he knows all of Reigns' weaknesses and has used them against him in the past. If anyone is going to be able to finally pin Reigns and end the streak that The Head of the Table has been on, then it would be Seth Rollins.
The Visionary hasn't held a Championship for more than a year and it's likely that his baron spell could come to an end at The Royal Rumble.
