#Wwe royal rumble 2017 card full#

Whether Cena fails or succeeds in winning the belt, WWE can continue pushing him towards being just slightly less of a babyface. On the other, Cena has finally returned to WWE full-time and appears rejuvenated. On one hand, Styles could continue his year-long run of dominance - he made his debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble - with yet another victory over Cena as he takes the strap into WrestleMania. I've gone back and forth with a prediction on this match for weeks. Prediction: Charlotte Flair retains the title - MS If that PPV winning streak is broken, it won't be here with 'Mania closely down the road and needing that storyline.

She'll eventually win the title, but they're really driving hard at this 'Queen of the pay-per-view' angle with Charlotte. Prediction: Charlotte Flair retains the title - ASД«ayley is awesome and absolutely deserves her time to shine, especially both here and at WrestleMania. It would make little sense to have that come to an end at the Royal Rumble when it could happen at WrestleMania at 17-0, whether to Banks, Bayley or someone else. WWE has been promoting Flair as having now gone 15-0 defending the women's title at pay-per-views, a tremendous feat. Women's Championship (Raw) - Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Prediction: Alexa Bliss, Mickie James and Natalya win - AS This match was announced less than a week before the show but is somehow on the main card (likely due to number of competitors) instead of Banks vs. I'm a big fan of what WWE has done with its women's division over the last couple of years, but splitting the roster has hurt the relevancy of some of the performers. Prediction: Gallows & Anderson win the titles - MSД«ecky Lynch, Nikki Bella & Naomi vs. Maybe keep Cesaro and Sheamus together and feud over the title leading to WrestleMania, where they could possibly loop in New Day, but I think they have to throw the titles on the challengers. On the other, they can't really keep having Gallows and Anderson lose championship matches and maintain any shred of credibility as a championship-level tag team. On one hand, I really love the Cesaro and Sheamus team dynamic, and they are very strong champions. Prediction: Gallows & Anderson win the titles - AS A break-up and showdown at Fastlane, perhaps for a shot at the Intercontinental Championship, would make a lot of sense. Consider this: Cesaro and Sheamus are in the Royal Rumble as singles competitors Gallows and Anderson are not. Gallows and Anderson are beginning to rebound from the awful comedy gimmick thrust upon them, and this is an opportunity for WWE to have them beat good wrestlers for the titles and build some momentum heading into WrestleMania.
