Really Early Predictions for WWE Royal Rumble 2019

Women's Match Winner: Becky Lynch

I might have Becky losing her Smackdown title but it would be so it can be replaced with a red one.

Finally, now that you've read all the way to the end, you'll see the reasoning behind my predictions.

I have the favourites for the Rumble Match being Becky, Nia and Charlotte.

As I mentioned before, I cannot fathom WWE giving Asuka another Royal Rumble win, taking her out of the running.

Ronda probably won't be in the match, so she isn't likely to win.

Nia Jax will have already had her title shot again against Rousey.

No matter how great she thinks this whole 'face-breaker' thing is, it isn't anything special.

She was reckless with a colleague and although WWE often parlays these things into storylines, I'm not a fan of Jax using it.

Charlotte will always be a threat for every match regarding a title, but she doesn't need to be sniffing any gold until next summer at the very earliest.

It's time to let some other women have run with the gold on Raw and Smackdown. Yeah, she's great, but come on, she's already a seven-time champion.

That leaves me going with Becky.

She's already a hero to the WWE Universe and is a made woman (or Man since she's been referring to herself as the Man).

Her losing the title at TLC and her rematch at the Royal Rumble earlier in the night would give her the ultimate victory she's (and almost everyone) has been clamouring for - a match with Ronda at Wrestlemania 35.

We were already deprived of the match due to Becky's injury. And since Asuka was allowed to call her shot as to which champ she wanted, it's easy to see Becky choosing Ronda should she win.

It would give us the match we all wanted and WWE it's potential first-ever main event match for the women.

It also is a logical next step because Fox will be carrying Smackdown come October 2019.

An earlier report has stated that they will want Smackdown to be more focused on the action and physicality rather than the soap operatic storylines.

Because of that, Rousey might be moved to Smackdown in the usual Superstar Shake Up that often comes after Wrestlemania.

If she does get moved to Smackdown, it makes sense to have the hottest women's wrestler on the roster in Lynch as the champion on Raw.

Therefore, I'm picking Becky to win the ladies' rumble match.
