12 HUGE WWE Royal Rumble 2018 Predictions You Need To Know
3. Elements Of Surprise
Though giving the victory to an unannounced challenger (with one glaring exception - more on her later) would grossly undermine the point of the historic occasion, an impressive run for a legend wouldn't go amiss with so many potential spots available to credible names from bygone eras.
Smiling and waving on Raw 25 can't have been the only reason Trish Stratus made the trip back into the WWE locker room after shrewdly dodging the hideous WrestleMania 25 Miss WrestleMania Battle Royal. Lita similarly swerved an artistic low-point for the league, electing to take a pass on a multi-woman scrap eventually won by a comedy male in drag. She missed Monday's celebration outright, despite noting how she featured on the commemorative chair given to ringsiders in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Both would be hugely welcome additions to the match, and expect them to put in memorable shifts in the inaugural brawl. Fleshing out the field, Beth Phoenix, Molly Holly and countless others would be equally welcome. WWE may still cast aspersions on some of the years it treats with disdain, but the performers that escaped with their dignity from such a dire scene deserve extra praise.
