WWE Royal Rumble 2026: Predicting Literally EVERYTHING!

Bianca Belair, Tiffany Stratton, Paige and Rhea Ripley.

That's the quartet predicted here to last until the final 4 in the women's Royal Rumble. If Ripley's going to score a staggering amount of eliminations, then she'll probably need to be out early. That could run Jordynne Grace close in the 'Iron Woman' stakes, admittedly. Come the end, a shattered Rhea would be the first to fall after the customary staredown spot.

This would leave Paige, Stratton and Belair. It'd be the most experienced of the lot who went next, but no-one's really expecting Paige to win the whole affair even if she is in attendance this weekend. There'd be much, much, much more interest in seeing Bianca and Tiffany tear it up to see who was going on to a bumper match at WrestleMania 42.

Both can stake a claim to winning it, and both have been on the bench. Belair has been on reserve for way longer than Stratton, but the pair will feel fresh again once they're back on television. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, y'know. That's guaranteed to be the case for Belair.

Fans haven't witnessed her doing her thing since 'Mania 41, which is remarkable. She missed much of 2025, so she'll be keen to lay down a marker for the new year. As for 'Tiffy Time'? Well, a return to heeldom could be the best thing for her right now.

Regardless of who wins (more on that soon), the last 4 noted above would be a fantastic and dramatic way to close things out.
