Prediction
Cageside Seats notes that Shinsuke Nakamura would be the most obvious choice to win the men's rumble. Most WWE fans already speculate that Nakamura would emerge victorious in the event after his bout with AJ Styles. It is also believed that even though the WWE title is out of the equation, Nakamura's win would still be expected since it could elevate him to the level he always should have been in.
As for the women's Royal Rumble, Bleacher Report predicts Asuka will not win the fight. Despite being the most feared woman in the WWE right now, she might fall short during the rumble. There is a possibility that multiple women will gang up on her and throw her over the top rope to get rid of the biggest threat. The possible loss will not affect her numbers though, since WWE can still indicate her stats as undefeated in the singles roster.
This year's Royal Rumble will take place on Sunday, Jan. 28, at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia at 7 p.m. EST/4 p.m. PT.
