8 HUGE WWE Royal Rumble 2023 Predictions You Need To Know
4. Women's Royal Rumble Match
Predictable for all the right reasons, the Women's Royal Rumble felt like it had Becky Lynch's name stamped on it for much of post-SummerSlam 2022 until the overwhelming success of The Judgment Day and Rhea Ripley specifically left the result in almost no doubt.
For his flaws as a booker thus far, Triple H did at least start lining up a 'Show Of Shows' dream match back in November, as it should have always been done. Rhea Ripley's brief and silent standoff with Bianca Belair was intoxicating, and 'The Nightmare's form ever since has only further enhanced her aura as 'The EST's toughest challenge at WrestleMania.
She's a dream heel to book here too - if she lasts a while, she'll look harder than everybody else. If she wraps the whole thing up relatively quickly, she'll look smarter. A wrestling promotion is supposed to line up can't-miss prospects, and then, obviously, not miss with them. That's the sweet spot with Ripley here, and WWE must complete a crucial chapter of the story when it counts.
Winner - Rhea Ripley
