The return of last year's women's Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair at TLC 2020 and her winning the Women's Tag Team Championship with RAW Women's Champion Asuka has shaken things up in WWE's women's division. The two have defended their titles successfully against multiple teams.

WWE has teased the team of Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott to be the next major feud for the Women's Tag Team Champions and these two teams could collide at Royal Rumble 2021. On paper, Asuka and Charlotte Flair would clearly be the favorites but The Queen also has her eyes set on the RAW Women's title and it won't be very shocking to see the two losing their tag titles and starting a feud against each other on the Road to WrestleMania 37.

Prediction: Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan become the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions

Big E won the Intercontinental Championship for the second time in his career on the Christmas special edition of Friday Night SmackDown by defeating Sami Zayn in a Lumberjack match. Many in the WWE Universe are considering this to be the start of Big E's major push on SmackDown.

However, it is possible that Sami Zayn continues to rant about the manner he lost his title to Big E with all the lumberjacks involved. Zayn could further demand a rematch at Royal Rumble 2021 with the IC title on the line. It will be interesting to see how WWE books Big E as the IC champion heading into the WrestleMania season.

Prediction: Big E retains the Intercontinental Championship
