Some might consider this a bold prediction, but the Royal Rumble should be all about creating new stars/giving pre-existing stars a leg up so they reach the next level. In other words, Liv Morgan should be considered a firm favourite for the 30-woman brawl on 29 January.

She's clicking with fans as a scrappy underdog who refuses to be denied. A Rumble win could be the last little shove towards the big time she needs - then, WWE can go all the way with Liv and crown her either Raw or SmackDown Women's Champion at 'Mania.

Morgan doesn't have to beat Lynch, y'know. Beating Charlotte Flair would make her look just as impressive.

The important thing is that WWE give Liv the same treatment they did Bianca Belair in 2021. Winning the Rumble did wonders for her career trajectory, and it could do the same for Morgan. There are few more deserving women on the roster right now.
