5 surprises that could happen at the Royal Rumble

#4 Alexa Bliss or Mandy Rose wins the Women's Royal Rumble Match

The storylines involving Alexa Bliss and Mandy Rose on Raw and SmackDown respectively have taken us back to the Attitude Era where women superstars were used just for attracting men superstars with their beauty and looks.

Fast forward to 2019. Women like Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch etc. have completely paved the way for the women's evolution about being more of an in-ring performer then an attractive woman, so this move from WWE seems awkward.

But these changes could just be to compete with the new promotion AEW, which has been lately making headlines. It is of course to generate more views on both the shows, while they received heavy positive reviews on social media for last week's episodes.

As of now it is rumored that Flair or Lynch will win the Royal Rumble match and go on to face Ronda Rousey for Raw Women's Title at WrestleMania 35, but with rumors floating that Vince McMahon is really high on Mandy Rose and wants to push her into Women's Title picture. There is a chance a push might ignite at the Royal Rumble itself.

Even Alexa Bliss has been in the eyes of WWE management, but she is yet to be cleared by doctors for a return. If she gets ready for Royal Rumble match she could perhaps win it. Any of the two women can win the Royal Rumble match and can choose SmackDown Women's Champion Asuka at WrestleMania 35. It would be a complete swerve of what the fans have been expecting.
