5 last-minute changes WWE can make at Royal Rumble 2022: Huge Roman Reigns twist, Major return shakes things up

This year's Rumble is quite unpredictable.
This year's Rumble is quite unpredictable.

#3 A Tag Team Title match is added to the Royal Rumble Kickoff Show

WWE is yet to announce a match for the Royal Rumble Kickoff Show. A couple of bouts could take place before the event, with The Usos' next title defense being an option. Jimmy and Jey Uso are barred from ringside during Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins, so this can get them on the card.

The Usos would defend their SmackDown Tag Team Championship against The Viking Raiders, who recently earned a title match. The two teams can have a solid match to get the fans in St. Louis fired up.

Unless WWE has further plans for this feud, the Royal Rumble pre-show is the best place for The Usos and The Viking Raiders to have their tag title clash.


#2 Ronda Rousey returns to WWE and ruins Bianca Belair's moment

For weeks, it looked like one of Bianca Belair or Sasha Banks would win the Women's Royal Rumble Match. When The Legit Boss got injured, the path seemed clear for The EST of WWE to win her second Rumble in a row.

However, recent reports have indicated the promotion's hopes of getting Ronda Rousey back for WrestleMania season. So, The Baddest Woman on the Planet could very well return on Saturday and win the 30-woman Rumble, at Belair's expense.

This would undoubtedly disappoint lots of fans, who are hoping for Bianca Belair to get revenge on Becky Lynch. It could yet happen, but only after Rousey has a crack at the RAW Women's Championship.
