7 Early predictions for WWE Royal Rumble 2021

#1 Big E wins the Men's Royal Rumble Match

Big E could main event WrestleMania 37.

Provided The Rock does not return to face Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 37, Big E should absolutely be the winner of the 2021 Men's Royal Rumble match. He has everything going for him, from in-ring talent and charisma to fan support and momentum.

There are no excuses for WWE not to push Big E, with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods now away from him on RAW. The New Day member has begun a solo run, impressing during his feud with Sheamus. There are quite a few ways he could progress up the card, with the endgame being a Royal Rumble victory.

Big E is the best choice from WWE's current roster to dethrone Roman Reigns, with the moment possibly happening at WrestleMania. But in the slightly unlikely scenario that The Rock does return to face Reigns, the company might have a few surprises up their sleeve.

If the Royal Rumble winner has to come from RAW, we might be looking at a returning part-timer standing tall at the end of the 30-man melee. Edge and Brock Lesnar could both return for the Rumble as long as there are live fans. Either of them could realistically win it as well.

The identity of the WWE Champion might dictate whether Lesnar or Edge wins the Royal Rumble. Various Superstars like Keith Lee, Mustafa Ali, and Kevin Owens, among many others, could also have big performances in the match. However, the best option to win remains Big E.

The Royal Rumble is the ultimate star-builder, as evidenced by the rise of Drew McIntyre this year, and another one could be on his way to the top of the WWE mountain. 2021 could be Big E's year and it could start with a massive win in the Royal Rumble Match.
