WWE Royal Rumble 2022: 10 Things That Must Happen

9. Another One Headlines

This is a given, surely.

Some on social media reckon that Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley has a chance to headline. Others have even suggested that the battle of ex-Shield members Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins could close out the night. Nah...it must be the Rumble.

Again being honest, it's not a problem if WWE put the women's scrap in the main event spot. That does seem like the better opener (if only because the first one will seem way fresher than the second), but they've got some nice options here at least. Either way, one of those Rumble brawls should go on last.

It just feels right when WWE end the Royal Rumble with someone pointing at that big WrestleMania sign. Sure, that's a bit of an overdone trope in the modern era; it'll happen though. That's unavoidable. The Rumble winner will do some sign-pointing as pyro explodes all over the building.
