The male winners can opt to contend for either Raw's World Heavyweight Championship or SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Similarly, the female champions have the option to choose between Raw's Women's World Championship and SmackDown's WWE Women's Championship. ## WWE Royal Rumble 2024 Confirmed Match Card ## Men's Royal Rumble match: 30-man Royal Rumble match for a world championship match at WrestleMania XL ## Competitors: Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, Gunther, Chad Gable, Otis, Akira Tozawa, Kofi Kingston, Damian Priest, Santos Escobar, R-Truth, Carlito, Grayson Waller, Austin Theory, Jimmy Uso and more TBD ## WINNER PREDICTION: CM Punk ## Women's Royal Rumble Match: 30-woman Royal Rumble match for a women's championship match at WrestleMania XL ## Competitors: Bayley, Nia Jax, Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Maxxine Dupri, Ivy Nile and 24 more TBD ## WINNER PREDICTION: Bayley ## WWE United States Championship Match: Logan Paul(c) vs. Kevin Owens ## At the upcoming Royal Rumble event, the United States Champion, Logan Paul, is set to defend his title against the former U.S. Champion, Kevin Owens, marking Paul's first title defense. ## KO secured his spot in this title bout by triumphing in the U.S. Title Tournament. His journey included victories over Austin Theory, Carmelo Hayes, and Santos Escobar, culminating in Owens claiming the tournament victory. Following his intense battle against Escobar, Owens found himself face-to-face with The Social Media Megastar, Logan Paul. Owens didn't shy away from the confrontation, responding by delivering a knockout blow to Paul with his cast. ## Undeterred by the challenges posed by his cast, Owens has displayed unwavering determination in his pursuit of becoming the United States Champion for the fourth time. Despite his championship pedigree, Owens hasn't held singles gold since 2017, making this opportunity at the Royal Rumble a significant chance for him to reclaim gold. Meanwhile, Logan Paul has been reveling in his U.S. Championship glory since defeating Rey Mysterio at WWE Crown Jewel. His flamboyant displays with the title have drawn the ire of many within the WWE Universe. ## Paul and Owens share a history from WrestleMania 37. Logan Paul was in the corner of Sami Zayn, who faced Owens in a memorable match. Following Owens' victory, he delivered a Stunner to Paul, setting the stage for their renewed rivalry. As the Royal Rumble approaches, the animosity between Kevin Owens and Logan Paul promises to escalate, making their championship showdown a focal point of the event. The WWE Universe eagerly awaits to see if Owens can overcome the odds, including his cast, and claim the United States Championship once again. ## WINNER PREDICTION: Kevin Owens ## Fatal four-way match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) (with Paul Heyman) vs. Randy Orton vs. AJ Styles vs. LA Knight ## Roman Reigns, the reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, will defend his title in a challenging Fatal 4-Way Match against formidable opponents – Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and LA Knight. ## Initially, Knight, Styles, and Orton engaged in a fierce Triple Threat Match to determine the contender who would face Reigns in a one-on-one showdown at the Royal Rumble. However, the situation took a dramatic turn when The Bloodline intervened, aiming to disrupt the competition.

Rhea Ripley: 'I Wanna Become A Grand Slam Champion'

At the Royal Rumble on 28 January, Ripley appeared at ringside during the men’s Royal Rumble match to assist her stablemates in their attack on Edge, only to be speared by Edge’s wife, Beth Phoenix. ## Later that night, Ripley won the women’s Royal Rumble match by last eliminating Liv Morgan. With this victory, Ripley became the fourth wrestler (after Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit, and Edge) and the first female to win it from the first position. ## By winning the Royal Rumble match, she now stacks the option to challenge either SmackDown Women's Championship or Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania 39. ## While speaking at Royal Rumble Post-Show Press Conference, Ripley spoke on her decision to choose the championship. ## "You know, I'm gonna have a lot of thinking to do before WrestleMania. I'm very very torn by this decision. I've stepped in the ring with Bianca many times and I absolutely love every second in the ring with her. I think that we bring outside of each other that not many people see and we really take each other to the absolute limit, but then again, it's the same with Charlotte. ## Charlotte also holds the Smackdown Women's Championship. So if I would accuse her I cannot only beat her for the first time ever in this thing was met which is something that I really really want to do, but I also become a grand slam Champion if I do. So I have a lot of thinking to do I've got the younger someone who I've come up in NXT with and I have a lot to prove because she's beating me a lot of the time and I've beaten her and we really want to prove to see who the EST of WWE really is but then I have someone like Charlotte who I've stepping the ring with at WrestleMania before and I lost my Championship, too. ## But I want my Redemption at the same time. So, I'm not sure where I'm gonna go yet, but I don't know thinking to do. So I have a lot of thinking to do I've got the younger someone who I've come up in NXT with and I have a lot to prove because she's beating me a lot of the time and I've beaten her and we really want to prove to see who the EST of WWE really is but then I have someone like Charlotte who I've stepping the ring with at WrestleMania before and I lost my Championship too.

WWE Royal Rumble 2023 Results: Sami Zayn Attacks Roman Reigns

At Royal Rumble Sami Zayn attacked Roman Reigns with a chair following his match against Kevin Owens in the main event. ## HEARTBREAK 💔🎥 @WWE | #RoyalRumblepic.twitter.com/zSbEfEFeqT— WWE on FOX (@WWEonFOX) January 29, 2023 ## The longstanding rivalry between Reigns and Owens spawned an incredible series of brutal Universal Title showdowns over the past few years, including a Steel Cage Match, a Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match, and a Last Man Standing Match. ## This year at Royal Rumble KO once again found himself at odds with The Head of the Table and The Bloodline. However, Owens once again wasn't able to steal the gold, but he did get back his friendship with Sami Zayn who was aligned with The Bloodline for a long time. ## After the match, Reigns attacked Owens. The Usos gave him the 1D as Reigns put his arm around Zayn. The Usos put a chair over Owens’ head and neck as Solo Sikoa gave him a running hip attack. They handcuffed Owens’ hands to the top rope and the Usos repeatedly superkicked Owens. Reigns grabbed a chair and went to hit a helpless (and already dead) Owens but Zayn stepped in his way. Zayn told Reigns he was already the champion and didn’t need to go that far. Reigns instead offered the chair to Zayn. ## Reigns screamed at Zayn to hit Owens. Reigns said he loved Zayn and he was in their family but if he didn’t want to do it, he should “go and do Jackass shit.” Reigns got in Zayn’s face and told him to do it. ## Zayn finally did it. He nailed Reigns in the back with the chair. This got a huge pop but it was quelled after Jimmy superkicked Zayn. Solo and Jimmy beat the crap out of Zayn. ## The crowd chanted for Jey who just watched. The Bloodline encouraged him to join but instead, Jey walked off. The crowd cheered Jey who walked down the aisle, obviously torn up by his decision. Reigns beat the shit out of Zayn with the chair as the crowd booed.

During the talk, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns highly spoke Cody Rhodes. ## “We have another guy, Cody Rhodes, who’s coming back from injury. He was super white-hot. If you go back to, I believe it was a Hell a Cell match he had with Seth Rollins, his pectoral muscle was completely torn in half. ## If you go back and look, it’s completely black, a giant bruise covering this guy, a fourth of his body is completely broken, and he goes out there and puts on a 40-minute performance, and just completely wins over our entire fanbase. So a lot of guts. A lot of courage out of him. He’s going to be coming back soon too.” ## Cody Rhodes is one of the most respected and accomplished performers in the professional wrestling industry. He has achieved great success as both a wrestler and a promoter, and has played a major role in shaping the direction of the industry in recent years. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
