Quick Royal Rumble Preview

I don’t have the time for a full preview but here is the short version.

  1. US Title: Rusev(c) b. Nakamura
  1. Cruiserweight Title: Buddy Murphy(c) Retains
  1. Smackdown Tag Team Titles: The Bar (c) b. Shane McMahon/The Miz
  • Sets up Miz vs. Shane
  • Related story: KB has more anger management issues
  1. Universal Title: Brock Lesnar(c) b. Finn Balor
  • No Demon because reasons
  • Similar to Bryan/Styles vs. Lesnar so awesome, but no title change
  1. Smackdown Women’s Title: Asuka(c) b. Becky Lynch
  • Asuka can lose the title in the Elimination Chamber next month
  1. Smackdown World Title: Daniel Bryan(c) b. AJ Styles
  • Randy Orton interferes to cost Bryan the title
  1. Raw Women’s Title: Ronda Rousey(c) vs. Sasha Banks
  • Heck of a match, Rousey wins clean
  1. Men’s Royal Rumble: Seth Rollins wins
  • Velveteen Dream, Kurt Angle, I want to say Roman Reigns/The Rock but I’ll hold off
  1. Women’s Royal Rumble: Becky Lynch wins
  • Lynch knocks out someone in the back to take the spot (Dana Brooke perhaps)
  • Trish Stratus, Lita, Vickie Guerrero, Shayna Baszler as surprise
  1. Strong but predictable show overall, with the night running much longer than it needs to.
