In what is always recognized as one of the biggest events of the year, WWE would be looking to make a gigantic statement with the Royal Rumble. Judging by how their creativity has been received among the audiences, the creative team will have to bring more to the plate than usual.
With this season bringing many casual fans to the shows, this is a genuine team for the company to maximize the fans' attention towards the product. Since we are referring to the Men's Royal Rumble match in this article, there is a lot of speculation on what might transpire come January 27, 2019.
The thirty-second event under the Royal Rumble chronology will be live from Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona and the anticipation is killing us.
So, without further ado, let's dive deep and analyze the 5 biggest things WWE could be planning for the Men's Royal Rumble.
#1 The arrival of Kenny Omega
There's no denying that Kenny Omega is one of the biggest names in the world of professional wrestling today; possibly the biggest. With the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion trending all over the wrestling world, his next move seems to be as mysterious as The Undertaker's next opponent.
Since there are multiple rumors connecting the Cleaner to Vince McMahon's billion dollar company, there's a genuine possibility that he ends up showing up at the Royal Rumble. Looking back at how much adulation A.J. Styles received when he debuted in 2016, something similar could transpire with Omega come January 27.
Considering that he has dropped the gold to Tanahashi, could this be the right time for Omega to finally make the transition to WWE? Vince McMahon's willingness to bring Omega could definitely see him rise to the top and make a solid impression at the Royal Rumble
#2 The Undertaker and John Cena crossing paths again
The WrestleMania season always marks the return of some of the biggest names that have helped change the complexion of this business. One of them is the Undertaker. The Phenom's inclusion in the Road to WrestleMania is an obvious one, with many expecting him to make a gigantic statement by entering the Royal Rumble match.
Considering that John Cena was squashed in embarrassing fashion last year at WrestleMania 34, the Cenation Leader might be looking to seek some revenge. While none of them have been confirmed to be a participant in the Royal Rumble match, the company could be planning a rematch for them at this year's Show of Shows.
With John Cena and the Undertaker both working a very limited schedule, there's a genuine possibility that they lock horns again at the Rumble and settle the score.
#3 Drew Mcintyre shattering Braun Strowman's record for most eliminations
If there's a superstar Vince McMahon would be willing to push the moon in Roman Reigns' absence, it is the Scottish Terminator, Drew Mcintyre. The former NXT Champion has transitioned perfectly under the Boss and is one of his biggest projects at the moment, with Vince looking to solidify Mcintyre as the guy.
While there's still a long way to go for Drew, one way of pushing him to the next level would be his all-round domination in the Royal Rumble match. Considering that the Scottish Sensation looks determined to defy the odds come January 27, he could very well shatter Braun Strowman's record of most eliminations in a single Royal Rumble match.
The Monster Among Men's remarkable feat of tossing thirteen superstars out in the Greatest Royal Rumble displayed his dominance, and the same could be achieved with Mcintyre.
#4 Someone shocking taking R-Truth's spot in the Royal Rumble
While in no way I mean to say that the Rock would be taking R-Truth's spot at the Royal Rumble, but the company is bound to fill that spot with a surprise. There's no denying that R-Truth won the Mixed Match Challenge Tournament which earned him the right to enter at the final spot in the Men's Royal Rumble match.
Considering the prestige that spot carries, the fans are definitely something big to go down by the time we reach the final moments of the bout. Since there's no confirmation on what transpired with the R-Truth situation, many believe that he would be part of a comic angle which would eventually set up the surprising element later in the match.
Giving away the final spot earlier than expected wasn't a favourable plan, but Vince McMahon would definitely look to close the show with something special.
#5 Seth Rollins entering as the Ironman and winning the Royal Rumble match
In what could be one of the most unpredictable events of the year, Seth Rollins' entering the event at the first spot and going on to win the entire match would be massive. The Architect has definitely solidified his position as one of the biggest superstars in the company and has constantly proved his critics wrong.
With Vince McMahon looking to find a new top guy to carry his vision forward, the Kingslayer stands as an ideal choice to slay the Beast Incarnate at the Show of Shows this year. While Braun Strowman still has a legitimate chance to defeat Brock Lesnar, there's more money in Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.
Considering that the Boss makes business his first priority, the Architect's victory at the event would certainly ascend his level and give fans something special come April with WrestleMania 35.
