NEW DELHI: With the countdown to WrestleMania 40 beginning, the WWE Universe is gearing up for the annual spectacle that is the Royal Rumble. Set to take place on Saturday, January 27, at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, this premium live event is known for kickstarting the Road to WrestleMania.
The 30-person Battle Royals, a staple of the Royal Rumble, are considered some of the most highly anticipated bouts of the wrestling calendar, setting the tone for the months to come.
Here's a sneak peek into the announced match card and the speculated outcomes for WWE's Royal Rumble 2024:
2024 Royal Rumble Match Card:- Men's Royal Rumble: CM Punk
- Women's Royal Rumble: Jade Cargill
- Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns vs. AJ Styles vs. LA Knight vs. Randy Orton
- WWE United States Championship: Logan Paul vs. Kevin Owens
Biggest Winners:1. CM Punk: The buzz around CM Punk's return has propelled him to the forefront of the men's Royal Rumble favorites. Despite the ongoing storyline with Cody Rhodes, Punk is predicted to emerge victorious, setting the stage for a headline-worthy showdown against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40.
2. Jade Cargill: Touted as the night's biggest winner in the women's Royal Rumble, Jade Cargill is expected to secure a guaranteed title shot. Triple H's promise to portray her as a megastar may find fulfillment at this marquee event, solidifying Cargill as one of WWE's hottest commodities leading into WrestleMania.
Biggest Losers:1. Cody Rhodes: The return of CM Punk has shifted the spotlight, potentially leaving Cody Rhodes on the sidelines. Despite his past WrestleMania aspirations, Rhodes could find himself in a secondary storyline, raising questions about the future credibility of his character and narrative.
2. Bayley: Despite being an odds-on favorite, Bayley is projected to come up short in the women's Royal Rumble. This setback could further perpetuate the pattern of the talented performer being unjustifiably overlooked, leaving fans to wonder about the trajectory of her storylines with Iyo Sky and Damage CTRL.
