My predictions for Royal Rumble 2017

Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson)
vs.
Sheamus and Cesaro (c)

for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships in a match where two referees are assigned

Finally, Gallows & Anderson have a shot at the titles...and to ensure that there is no tomfoolery and a definite winner, there will be one ref in the ring and one ref outside of it.

My prediction: Gallows & Anderson just might take the titles.

Nia Jax vs. Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks has just about had it with Nia Jax injuring and re-injuring her...but now she's 100% again and she's ready to take on her biggest challenge yet - both figuratively and literally - in Nia. How is this one going to end?

My prediction: Sasha Banks will win this one...somehow.

2017 Royal Rumble Match

This one has quite a few big names in it: The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar and Goldberg. One of them will definitely be in the running, but there are 27 other names out there that are waiting to get their chance at the major singles title of their respective brand...

My prediction: Goldberg will probably be taking this one.

Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens (c)

for the WWE Universal Championship; Chris Jericho will be suspended above the ring inside a shark cage

Well, it all comes down to this. Roman finally gets his shot against Owens, and Chris Jericho is stuck in a shark cage high above the ring so he can't interfere (one can hope). Will Owens retain, or will Roman be the big dog again?

My prediction: Roman Reigns is taking the title.

John Cena vs. AJ Styles (c)

for the WWE Championship

Once again, the rematch to determine who the face that runs the place really is...is here. And the WWE Championship is on the line...

My prediction: AJ Styles will retain.

Bayley vs. Charlotte (c)

for the WWE Raw Women's Championship

Wait, Sasha Banks isn't going for the title again? Well, that's a bit of a relief. Wait, Bayley is going for the title now? Well, that's a bit of a relief.

My prediction: Charlotte will retain, but this won't be the last we see of Bayley and Charlotte in the ring for a title.

Neville vs. Rich Swann (c)

for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

Neville's back...as a heel! Now he's going for the Cruiserweight title! Well, 2017 is coming up roses already, now, isn't it?

My prediction: Neville will probably take the title.

Nikki Bella, Naomi and Becky Lynch
vs.
Alexa Bliss, Mickie James and Natalya

As last-minute and as par for the course as the match is, you can still look at this and see that SmackDown Live does more with its Women's Division than Raw has ever done with its own. Now that I realize this, who's par for the course now?

My prediction: Nikki, Naomi and Becky are winning this one.
