WWE RAW - 5 surprises that could happen: Popular star to get a big title push, 'The Fiend' to return and attack top Champion? (January 25th, 2021)

#3. AJ Styles is unable to 'block' a Royal Rumble spot on RAW

AJ Styles has been RAW's 'gatekeeper' - but not in a bad way. While he was able to get a free entry to the Men's Royal Rumble match, he prevented two other stars from doing the same on RAW.

Drew Gulak was the first to ask why AJ Styles got a free pass, to which he responded by stating that he's a two-time WWE Champion. Adam Pearce made Drew Gulak face AJ Styles to earn a Royal Rumble entry spot, but he failed to do so. The same happened to Ricochet on RAW last week, and he fell short to AJ Styles in an incredible match.

AJ Styles is one of RAW's top stars, and it would be a surprise to see him lose to a Superstar on a level below. But it would make good sense in a story since AJ Styles currently has no ongoing feuds. The big question is this - who is ready to defeat AJ Styles and qualify for the Men's Royal Rumble match.
