10 HUGE WWE Royal Rumble 2020 Predictions You Need To Know

The pop-worthy prospect of The Fiend getting his boots and knee pads checked by the referee as he attaches the strap notwithstanding, this match desperately, desperately needs to be good.

Daniel Bryan becoming Universal Champion for a WrestleMania clash with Roman Reigns might be dream sequence scenario, but the "Yes" man having another stinker with Wyatt at this point is total nightmare fuel. WWE simply can't afford for this to be sh*t, yet the omens are...mixed.

The two had an uneven bout under Wyatt's red light at the Survivor Series, but knocked it out of the park in the opener of the hugely controversial 2014 edition of the show. Bray has stunk the joint out with Seth Rollins and The Miz, whilst Bryan did exactly that with AJ Styles when asked to follow the Royal Rumble match last year.

Everything about this weird encounter is difficult to call, apart from the actual result.

Winner: "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt
