The Fiend will defend the Universal Title at the Royal Rumble

Royal Rumble will kickstart the most exciting period of the year - WrestleMania season! You're probably wondering what WWE has lined up and while no rumors are floating about as to what feuds we can expect at WrestleMania, we may know what to expect in two vital matches at the Royal Rumble.

As you know, the World Championship matches at the Royal Rumble are important because the winners will most likely end up heading to WrestleMania as the World Champion. That will certainly be the case if Brock Lesnar wins. Now, to get right into it, what rivalries can we expect?

Fans drowned out a popular wrestler with 'She's a racist' chants recently

Currently, The Fiend Bray Wyatt is feuding with Daniel Bryan in a renewal of their rivalry from over 5 and a half years ago, while Brock Lesnar faces the ultimate underdog Rey Mysterio.

According to Cagesideseats, both rivalries are expected to continue up until Royal Rumble, which means that there won't be any major title changes at Survivor Series.

"There aren’t expected to be any title changes at Survivor Series, and both title programs will likely go all the way up to, and possibly through, Royal Rumble."

We hope this is true because these are both great feuds and stretching it till the Royal Rumble makes a lot of sense.
