12 HUGE WWE Royal Rumble 2018 Predictions You Need To Know

10. Beast Topples The Machine

Ronda Rousey WrestleMania 31

With Braun Strowman's WrestleMania opponent looking likely to be either Triple H or The Miz, expect the 'Monster Among Men' to be otherwise engaged by one of them whilst Brock Lesnar hopefully F5's Kane so hard that he disappears through the canvas never to return.

In a spot once reserved for Finn Bálor before he was crushed under the schizophrenic thumb of Vince McMahon, Kane hasn't once looked remotely like he belongs in their with bonafide megastar Brock and nailed on future company figurehead Braun.

He simply has to take the fall in this match in the interest of protecting both the Champion and giant Challenger, especially with WrestleMania season coinciding with what should be a busy campaign trail for active mayoral candidate Glenn Jacobs.

He also has a responsibility not to be f*cking rubbish. Lesnar and Strowman failed miserably in their flat and unflattering No Mercy singles match, so hopefully WWE will revert to type and let all three engage in a destruction derby akin to SummerSlam 2017, rather than the lumbering pull-apart that closed Raw 25.
