Royal Rumble 2016
The Royal Rumble Match30 Man Battle Royal for the WWE World Heavyweight ChampionshipPrediction:A Last Minute Entry (Triple H)
Prophecy:I don't want to see Roman Reigns win the Royal Rumble 2 years in a row. They have booked him very similar to John Cena, a superman type who can overcome anything, etc... but I think entering at #1 and successfully defending your title against 29 other guys would be very hard to sell as believable, even in the WWE universe. I think Brock is going to face the Wyatts in some way at Wrestlemania, so he won't win the title quite yet. This only leaves a surprise entrant like Triple H, Undertaker, AJ Styles, or even Daniel Bryan. Whoever wins, I just hope WWE doesn't drop the ball on the potential this event actually has to build storylines in 2016... I guess we'll see.
Result:A Last Minute Entry (Triple H) wins

Dean Ambrose vs. Kevin OwensLast Man Standing for the Intercontinental ChampionshipPrediction:Kevin Owens
Prophecy:This should be the match of the night, regardless who wins. Ambrose and Owens are both tough as nails and will put on a great show for the crowd in Orlando. My guess is Owens wins the title back and Ambrose comes back later in the Rumble, maybe even planting some rivalry seeds with his Shield brother, Roman Reigns during the match.
Result:Dean Ambrose wins

Alberto del Rio vs. KalistoUnited States ChampionshipPrediction:Alberto del Rio
Prophecy:I hate when someone wins a title, only to lose it back 24 hours later. I feel it lessens the importance of the actual championship. That being said, I see no reason for the U.S. hot potato championship to change hands at this event.
Result:Kalisto wins

Charlotte vs. Becky LynchDivas ChampionshipPrediction:Becky Lynch
Prophecy:Becky is freaking awesome and totally deserves it, but since when does that matter in WWE storylines? I can see Becky either winning by DQ or actually winning the title, prompting Charlotte to blame Daddy Flair for accepting the challenge for her in the first place... Wooo!
Result:Charlotte wins

The New Day (2 of the 3) vs. The UsosWWE Tag Team ChampionshipPrediction:The New Day (Kofi & Big E)
Prophecy:The New Day is one of the best gimmicks WWE has going right now, so I don't see any reason for a title change until maybe Wrestlemania.
This is my lock.
Result:The New Day (Kofi & Big E) win
