10 Last-Minute WWE Greatest Royal Rumble Predictions You Need To Know

by Michael Hamflett

1. The Greatest

Chris Jericho
WWE

There's perhaps never been a better time to both award and reward Chris Jericho.

'Y2J's magnificent Wrestle Kingdom effort against Kenny Omega earlier this year put him in rarified air as one of the few to effortlessly traverse NJPW and WWE as a non-contracted outsider. Far from easing into retirement, he ploughed through a selection of greatest hits in the clash - so assured as he now is in the experienced veterans role.

As the man with the most combined minutes in Royal Rumble matches, he can put forth an argument as the 'Greatest' to ever take part in the gimmick. A lack of a victory undermines his claim, but what better way to turn this around than winning the biggest variant of the clash ever? The only tangible reward for the win is a massive trophy too - and Jericho is amazing with silly gimmicks.
