10 HUGE WWE Royal Rumble 2020 Predictions You Need To Know

7. Andrade (c) Vs. Humberto Carrillo

A well-booked Raw feud that feels as though it's snuck on to this card rather than being paid off on the red brand, Andrade and Humberto Carrillo's hostilities stem from a brutal attack by the United States Champion on the main roster newcomer as they were both vying for a shot at the strap now slung over Andrade's shoulder.

They'd had a total banger on the TLC Kickoff that triggered that, with Carrillo's victory over his more experienced foe initially resulting in some since-abandoned aggro between Zelina Vega and Andrade. In fact, the whole thing had been parked until Monday's go-home Raw - Carrillo coming from the crowd in a mask to defend Rey Mysterio was a nice callback, but can he go a step further and dethrone the titleholder?

Probably not - Andrade's just getting started with the secondary strap, even if it is relatively meaningless. He's the latest in a long line that probably won't transform it into being a workers title, but he should at least be given the chance to try.

Winner: Andrade
