The 31st Royal Rumble will be taking place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Not only will we get 5 Championships on the line; but we will have the 1st ever Women's Royal Rumble Match. So, who will get a Championship opportunity at Wrestlemania 34? Let's take a look at the card.

Bobby Roode vs TBA
United States Championship 
At the time of writing, we do not have a challenger for Bobby Roode. Regardless, I feel that the Glorious One will be victorious.
Predicted Winner: Bobby Roode

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson vs The Revival
Whilst The Revival are awesome, I can't see them winning. Therefore, I think that Gallows and Anderson will win.
Predicted Winners: Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson

Kalisto, Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik vs TJP, Drew Gulak and Gentleman Jack Gallagher
This should be a good match and I think that Luchador Trio will be victorious. I expect to see TJP spit the dummy afterwards.
Predicted Winners: Kalisto, Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik

The Usos vs Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin
2-out-of-3 Falls Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship
This is one match that I'm really looking forward to. It's a tough one to call but I think The Usos will just pull it off.
Predicted Winners: The Usos

Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan vs Cesaro and Sheamus
RAW Tag Team Championship
Another tough one to call but I think that Cesaro and Sheamus will win. The question is: will this start Jordan's heel turn or will they delay the inevitable?
Predicted Winners: Cesaro and Sheamus

Brock Lesnar vs Demon Kane vs Braun Strowman
Triple Threat Match for the Universal Championship
This should be a short, brutal match and I think that Lesnar will retain here.
Predicted Winner: Brock Lesnar

AJ Styles vs Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens
Handicap Match for the WWE Championship
This will be an interesting match to watch. It does depend on whether Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan will get involved. Despite that, I feel that Styles will overcome the odds.
Predicted Winner: AJ Styles

The 2018 Women's Royal Rumble Match
So far, the following are confirmed to take part: Naomi, Asuka, Ruby Riott, Natalya, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Carmella, Tamina, Lana, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan, Mickie James, Nia Jax, Becky Lynch, Alicia Fox and Dana Brooke. Hopefully, we will get to see some returning legends and some NXT wrestlers take part as well. Despite that, I pretty much guarantee that Asuka will win this.
Predicted Winner: Asuka

The 2018 Men's Royal Rumble Match
So far, the following are confirmed to take part: Elias, Randy Orton, Shinsuke Nakamura, John Cena, Finn Balor, Baron Corbin, "Broken?" Matt Hardy, Bray Wyatt, Rusev, Aiden English, Apollo Crews, Titus O'Neil, Hollywood Miz, Tye Dillinger, Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.  Unless we get a surprise, I feel that it will be between John Cena and Roman Reigns. I'm going for Reigns to win because WWE want us to feel miserable.
Predicted Winner: Roman Reigns

I will hopefully get to see it during the week so the review will be up by the following week. Until then, I hope you guys enjoy the show.
