5 Confrontations that could happen at the Greatest Royal Rumble

WWE's Greatest Royal Rumble event is set to be one of the most exciting shows, at least on paper. With seven Championship matches scheduled to happen, the Superstars from Raw and SmackDown will put on a great show.

Despite the show being hosted outside of USA, there's no denying that the essence of Royal Rumble will remain the same. Judging by the stature of this event, it's safe to say that we're in for a lot of surprises and blockbuster confrontations.

Here are the five confrontations that could happen at the Greatest Royal Rumble event

---

#5 Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens

History will be repeated

After telling one of the most iconic stories in wrestling, Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho could write another chapter in their rivalry this Friday.

Since Kurt Angle already teased Jericho's intentions to seek redemption, it's likely that these two will lock horns in the main event. Owens has elevated himself to be one of the top heels in the company, especially after pulling off a brilliant segment with Jericho in "Festival of Friendship."

With these two superstars having so much history together, it's safe to say that this confrontation is bound to happen. Expect a huge pop for this altercation.

#4 Triple H and Shane McMahon

Will Shane O'Mac play the Game?

If you're a keen observer of wrestling, then you might know that Triple H and Shane O'Mac do not share a good relationship behind the scenes.

Both men have their differences and while these two did lock horns at Survivor Series 2017, we could see Shane O'Mac get his revenge on The Game.

Since Shane will be an integral part of the 50-man Royal Rumble, squaring off against his brother-in-law could bring the house down.

If WWE does want to tell a good story by involving Shane in the Royal Rumble, then a blockbuster confrontation with Triple H could give the fans something special.

#3 John Cena and Samoa Joe

Destined to happen

This bout could see the 16-time World Champion featured in a marquee moment with Samoa Joe and considering that it's still a prediction, it is necessary to build Joe as a legitimate heel.

The Destroyer is one of the best Superstars on the blue brand and a confrontation with Cena could really elevate him as the top guy.

If the company wants to make a huge star, then they need to extract Joe's potential and book him to decimate John Cena at the Greatest Royal Rumble. Imagine the heat.

#2 Braun Strowman, The Big Show and The Great Khali

A gigantic confrontation

Braun Strowman's ever-increasing popularity has elevated him to the top of the mountain in the business. Having established himself as the top guy in the WWE, there's a strong possibility that the company would present him as an irreplaceable asset in the Royal Rumble match.

Therefore, a gigantic showdown with The Great Khali and The Big Show would be the way to go. Considering this could be the only time these three giants square off against one another, WWE has a solid chance in cementing Strowman as The Giant in the company.

#1 Daniel Bryan and Kurt Angle

The confrontation of two masterminds

While there are divided opinions regarding the booking of this event, there's no denying that this bout could open tons of possibilities for the future. One such possibility would be the confrontation of Daniel Bryan and Kurt Angle.

Both are scheduled to take part in the Greatest Royal Rumble Match, and they will likely cross paths.

Bryan's heroic return to the squared circle has increased the prospect of a dream match with the Olympic Gold Medalist.

With WWE doing everything they can to build a special event on Friday, the confrontation of Daniel Bryan and Kurt Angle could tear the roof of the place.
