Okay, so, I’ve been following WWE for a while now, and the Royal Rumble is always one of my favorite events. This year, I decided to take my fandom up a notch and really get into predicting the outcomes. Here’s how it went down.

First off, I grabbed my laptop and opened up a new document. I figured I should keep track of my predictions, you know, for bragging rights later on. Then I dug through the WWE website, scanned through recent match results, and watched some recap videos on Peacock and their network to get a feel for the current storylines and who’s been hot lately.
- I jotted down the names of all the confirmed participants for both the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches.
- Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre – these guys were definitely on my radar.
- For the women, Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch seemed like strong contenders.
After that, I spent hours, and I mean hours, analyzing potential match-ups. I thought about things like who’s got beef with whom, who’s been on a winning streak, and who the crowd is really behind. It’s not just about who’s the strongest, but also who’s got the best story going into the Rumble. I even tried to predict the surprise entrants because that’s where it gets exciting for most people, myself included.
I made a list of my top picks for each match, with some reasoning behind each choice. For example, I was pretty sure Cody Rhodes was going to win the men’s Royal Rumble. He’s been on fire, and it just felt like his time. For the women’s, it was a bit tougher, but I leaned towards Bianca Belair. She’s just so dominant.
When the day of the Royal Rumble finally arrived, I was hyped. I gathered some snacks, got comfy on the couch, and tuned in. As the matches unfolded, I marked down each elimination and compared it to my predictions. Let me tell you, there were definitely some surprises, but it was cool to see some of my predictions hit the bullseye.
The Outcome
In the end, Cody Rhodes did indeed win the men’s Royal Rumble! I pumped my fist in the air when it happened. It was awesome to see my prediction come true.

It was a fun experiment, and even though I didn’t get everything right, it made watching the Royal Rumble even more engaging. I’m already looking forward to next year’s event and refining my prediction skills. Maybe I’ll even start a blog about it or something. Who knows?
