WWE Monday Night RAW Preview: January 1st, 2018

#5 More Royal Rumble Preparation

It's less than a month away

With the Royal Rumble less than a month away you can probably expect to have more men and women declare their spots in their respective Royal Rumble matches. Elias was the first to throw his hat in the ring on the men's side on Raw and Asuka has been the only female on Raw to declare her entry so far which really seemed to worry Alexa Bliss. It also probably bothered Bliss that she got kicked in the head following The Empress Of Tomorrow's announcement.

But now is the time for more men and women to declare their participation in the big matches on January 28th. With the winner slated to get a championship match on whichever brand the winner happens to be on, the stakes couldn't be higher unless the match was for the title itself.

It might be too late for a fatal four-way where a winner gets a spot because those kinds of gimmicks are usually reserved for closer to the actual Royal Rumble event. But you never know what WWE could throw at us on New Year's Day.
