WWE Royal Rumble 2022: Full match-card predictions

#4 Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble

Another massive match already announced for Royal Rumble 2022 is a massive dream match as Bobby Lashley is set to challenge WWE Champion Brock Lesnar.

Lashley has previously stated on many occasions that he returned to the company in 2018 for a match against The Beast Incarnate. It's great to finally see this match happen and the fans are equally excited to witness these two heavyweights go to war at Royal Rumble.

We got a tease of this at Day 1 earlier this month where both of these were part of the WWE Championship fatal five-way match. While Brock Lesnar dominated every other competitor in the match, Bobby Lashley had the upper hand over him.

It will be special when these two finally collide at Royal Rumble. As much as Lashley deserves to pick up a victory, Lesnar might be the one to come out victorious.

Prediction: Brock Lesnar retains the WWE Championship

#3 Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs. Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship

Shinsuke Nakamura's current Intercontinental Championship run has been forgettable, to say the least. Nothing against Nakamura, who is one of the best at what he does, however, his booking as a champion has been disappointing and the title seems to have no value.

He was set to defend his title against Sami Zayn at Day 1. However, the match was pulled from the show. We may now see these two face each other at Royal Rumble 2022. It's about time WWE takes the title off Nakamura and make it relevant again. He could go on to enter the tag team division with Rick Boogs.

Prediction: Sami Zayn becomes the new Intercontinental Champion
