WWE Royal Rumble 2020: 8 last-minute predictions for the PPV - NXT star wins the Rumble, The Fiend's next challenger

#2 30-woman Royal Rumble Match

Less than one-third are confirmed so far

The build to this year's women's Royal Rumble match has been non-existent, with only a handful of women confirming their entry into the contest. WWE has not put any importance in this match and a new viewer would not even know that the women have their own Royal Rumble.

The lack of focus on this match is likely because the winner will probably be a surprise entrant. Who that surprise entrant will be, though, is a different question. There could be up to ten surprises, from NXT, their UK counterparts, and the injury list.

Stars like Naomi, Nia Jax and Ruby Riott could return from lengthy absences, giving RAW and SmackDown some much-needed depth to their female divisions. From the current roster members, Charlotte Flair might be the favourite. But there are two names which stand out.

Ronda Rousey has been expected to be the ultimate surprise of the match, creating all the buzz for the women's Royal Rumble after the match instead of before it. But it is nowhere near a lock whether she is returning to face Becky Lynch. Instead, her fellow MMA Horsewoman, Shayna Baszler, could go on to win.

She has done everything possible in NXT and looks set on dominating the WWE main roster. And if Rousey does not return, the Queen of Spades is the next best option.

She, like Rousey, has some unfinished business with Becky Lynch, which could be tended to at WrestleMania. Baszler has got to be the overwhelming favourite to win the 2020 women's Royal Rumble match unless Ronda Rousey shows up of course.

Prediction: Shayna Baszler wins the Rumble, unless Ronda Rousey is set to return
