5 bold WWE predictions for January 2018

#1 The women’s match goes on last at the Royal Rumble

The first-ever women's Royal Rumble will take place in January

Admittedly, this is unlikely to happen, but these are bold predictions and it’s not entirely impossible that WWE could decide to have the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble match main-event the whole show on 28 January.

As great as the Women’s Evolution has been in WWE over the last 2-3 years, the company’s female Superstars have still only main-evented one pay-per-view in that time (Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks, Hell In A Cell 2016).

The women’s Rumble match will be the most-anticipated match of the night in Philadelphia and, unless WWE goes down the legends route again for the men’s Rumble match, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t go on last.

Many of WWE’s female performers say that their ultimate goal is to main-event WrestleMania one day. While that seems unlikely at this stage, it’s not out of the question that WWE could announce in advance that they will headline WWE’s second-biggest show of the year.
