Prophecies of The Tocc
Royal Rumble 2018
Men's Royal Rumble Match30 Man Battle RoyalPrediction:Shinsuke Nakamura
Prophecy:The winner will probably go after the WWE title, not because it's the only real World title, but because Brock vs Reigns at Mania is looking more and more likely. If that's true, the winner will not be on the Raw brand. And of course the winner needs to be ready for a WrestleMania main event. For me, that points to Nakamura, although you never know when Cena will go after his inevitable record-setting championship reign.
Result:Shinsuke Nakamura wins

A.J. Styles vs. Owens & ZaynHandicap match for the WWE ChampionshipPrediction:A.J. Styles
Prophecy:Uhh... What? I'm going with Styles only because I don't know how 2 people can hold the WWE Title. Although now that I think about it, 3 guys hold the tag titles all the time. Anyway, I'm not loving how the WWE Title is being used as fodder in the Shane / Bryan storyline. But these guys always put on a show so the match should be good right up until the inevitable kockamayme ending.
Result:A.J. Styles wins

Rollins & Jordan vs. Cesaro & SheamusWWE Raw Tag Team ChampionshipPrediction:Rollins & Jordan
Prophecy:Cesaro and Sheamus don't just set the bar. They see how far they can shove it up each other's asses. Despite their cheesy catch phrases and elaborate entrance that they obviously choreographed themselves, they are solidly a tag team at this point. I wouldn't be surprised to see them get the titles back. But I don't think it will be here. Rollins & Jordan won't last long as a team, but I see them retaining here until their storyline develops a bit more.
Result:Cesaro & Sheamus win

The Usos vs. Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin2-out-of-3 Falls Match for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team ChampionshipPrediction:Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin
Prophecy:This is what happens when you've got 2 tag teamers with no other partners. The swerve where Gable and Benjamin won the titles on SmackDown was a teaser. They could definitely win here. Afterwards, I'd really like to see them drop the titles to Charlie Haas and Jason Jordan. Just because.
Result:The Usos wins
