Royal Rumble 2018 predictions



WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match (Kickoff Match)
Enzo Amore © vs. Cedric Alexander

My Crazy Dream Booking: A double DQ leads to the title being stripped and a tournament for a new champion. The final four are a returning Neville, Johnny Gargano, TJP, and a Richochet
What Should Happen: Amore retains, and the next #1 contender is Drew Gulak. Gulak wins at Wrestlemania and begins a three month campaign where no one is allowed to jump off the top rope during cruiserweight matches to set up for Mustafa Ali to overcome Gulak
What Will Happen: Alexander wins and begins defending against heels.
What I’m Terrified Will Happen: Amore retains and continues to slow down the division
If I Was Booking This And I Hated You: Amore wins, throws out an open challenge the next night on RAW, and it's answered by... Big Cass, who wins the title (and we forget all about the weight limit)


WWE Smackdown Tag Team matches
The Usos (Jey and Jimmy Uso) © vs. Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin

My Crazy Dream Booking: Usos retain. Gable goes nuts after the match, tearing apart the locker room- and getting fired by Shane McMahon in the process. Gable shouts 'fine' and leaves...
What Should Happen: Gable and Benjamin wins the titles. On Raw, Gable winning a title is brought up in comparison to Jordan.
What Will Happen: Usos retain and get prepared for a feud with the Bludgeon Brothers
What I’m Terrified Will Happen: Usos retain and get prepared for another feud with the New Day
If I Was Booking This And I Hated You: The Shield and the Bar beat up both teams, because the only tag teams that matter are on RAW



WWE RAW Tag Team Titles
Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan © vs. Cesaro and Sheamus

My Crazy Dream Booking: Cesaro and Sheamus win back the titles when Jordan abandons Rollins, allowing Rollins to get pinned. Dean Ambrose starts yelling at Jordan- and Jordan attacks the injured Ambrose. Kurt Angle separates them, starts yelling at Jordan- and Chad Gable comes in to join Jordan in attacking Angle. The next night, Stephanie McMahon announces she hired Gable, and the reformed American Alpha start feuding with Rollins and Angle.
What Should Happen: Cesaro and Sheamus win the belts cleanly. Rollins moves onto an upper level feud with the Miz. Jordan searches for another partner to take back his belts
What Will Happen: Jordan and Rollins retain as they keep building up the inevitable breakup.
What I’m Terrified Will Happen: Cesaro and Sheamus win- but Jordan's heelness starts infecting Rollins, and the fans turn on Rollins as well.
If I Was Booking This And I Hated You: Cesaro, Sheamus, and Joe all beat the hell out of Rollins and Jordan, but Reigns saves them all



WWE Smackdown Title
AJ Styles © vs. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

My Crazy Dream Booking: Owens and Zayn win the title- and Zayn turns on Owens immediately afterwards, quoting "Payback in a bitch, Kevin." Kevin acknowledges that he probably deserved it, and that while Sami made it equal, he'll be glad to make stay one step ahead. They continue a weird, relationship where they try to kill each other for the title, but no one else is allowed to interfere.
What Should Happen: Owens and Zayn cheat, but Shane McMahon pulls a power play to keep the title on Styles. Bryan shakes his head and mutters that there's only one way to stop this... (see the Royal Rumble)
What Will Happen: Owens and Zayn win the belt and co-hold the title for a month before Styles wins
What I’m Terrified Will Happen: Styles retains and Owens and Zayn fall down the card.
If I Was Booking This And I Hated You: Shane McMahon walks out with the belt



2018 Women's Royal Rumble match
My Crazy Dream Booking: Asuka enters as #1 and outlasts the field won win it all. At one point, Charlotte/Sasha Banks/Bayley/Becky Lynch are standing in the ring- and the Four MMA Horsewomen start taunting them from ringside. The Riott Squad and Absolution throw them out, and the two sets of Four Horsewomen start brawling.
What Should Happen: Asuka wins, throwing out Charlotte and Ruby Riott to win it all.
What Will Happen: Asuka wins
What I’m Terrified Will Happen: Nia Jax wins 
If I Was Booking This And I Hated You: James Ellsworth wins



WWE Universal Championship
Brock Lesnar © (with Paul Heyman) vs. Braun Strowman vs. Kane

My Crazy Dream Booking: Strowman and Kane get thrown out, and Lesnar makes an open challenge, answered by Samoa Joe. Joe and Lesnar have a crazy brawl all over the arena
What Should Happen: Strowman wins the title. Give the belt to the guy who is over and is a full time member of the roster.
What Will Happen: Lesnar wins for his inevitable matchup with Reigns
What I’m Terrified Will Happen: Lesnar wins in five minutes
If I Was Booking This And I Hated You: Lesnar wins, but Kane and Strowman attack him after the match, and Reigns has to save Lesnar. Lesnar limps away, and the announcers wonder if he'll be able to walk by Wrestlemania.



2018 Men's Royal Rumble match

Final four: Mark Henry enters at #29 with only Nakamura, Roman Reigns, and Samoa Joe left. Henry and Joe throw out Nakamura, then Joe and Reigns team up to throw out Mark Henry. Joe and Reigns brawl on the rope and tumble out together as the countdown begins for the final entrant- and automatic winner...
