10 WWE Nightmares That Could Come True In 2023

10. Royal Rumble Is Too Predictable

Every. F'n. Year.

It's true - this happens every single year. Even the staunchest supporters of the classic Royal Rumble format worry that WWE's chosen winners will be far too predictable and thus suck life out of fan excitement heading into 'Mania. Will that be the case yet again in 2023? Yep.

In fairness, such worries only float because the company has picked some downright boring Rumble winners over the years. In January, dull choices on the men's side would include Braun Strowman, Brock Lesnar or even Bobby Lashley. For the women, Charlotte Flair would perhaps rank as the worst possible outcome.

The Rumble sets the tone for the rest of the year, basically. Nobody wants to be sitting around on 28 January p*ssing and moaning about uninspired choices for both 30-person bouts. It's vital that Triple H chooses the right sort of workers to win each Rumble and get folks hyped for what's coming next.
