5 Bold Predictions for WWE in 2022: Epic Roman Reigns twist, Massive return, Vince McMahon steps down

#4 Bayley returns and wins the 2022 Women's WWE Royal Rumble

Arguably the most anticipated match on WWE's calendar every year is the annual Royal Rumble. The concept is a perfect mixture of excitement, nostalgia, entertainment, as well as a platform for some major returns. And one such major return could happen in the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble match as well.

Our next bold prediction for WWE in 2022 is that Bayley will make her long-awaited return and win the multi-woman bout. She has been away from the company for several months now after suffering a torn ACL.

While there is no confirmation on her return status, the superstar herself has teased coming back soon. Bayley could set up a great feud with Becky Lynch, possibly leading to a WrestleMania 38 showdown.

#3 AJ Styles wins the WWE Championship once again

Speaking of Royal Rumble, it was in 2016 when fans witnessed one of the biggest debuts at the very same pay-per-view as AJ Styles entered the Rumble as a surprise entrant. It's been nearly six years since then, and The Phenomenal One has had a decent outing so far.

A grand-slam champion in WWE, Styles has had several high-profile feuds, including one against The Undertaker last year. However, he hasn't been in the WWE Championship picture for a long time now. He last won the title in 2018 and held it for over a year before dropping it to Daniel Bryan.

Our next bold prediction for Vince McMahon's promotion in 2022 is that AJ Styles will win the WWE Championship once again this year. He has been in the tag team picture with Omos for a long time, and he should return to the main event scene, where he belongs.
