We’re less than two weeks away from the Royal Rumble and the start of the road to WrestleMania, and a big piece of the show is already booked. Here’s everything we know about the show.
John Cena vs. AJ Styles for the WWE Championship
John Cena goes after his 16th world championship against SmackDown’s top dog, AJ Styles. A win for Cena would tie the legendary Ric Flair’s number of world championships.
Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship
Roman Reigns has just been freed of the terrible burden of carrying the US Championship, leaving him free to claim the Universal Title from current champion Kevin Owens. The new US champ, Chris Jericho, will be suspended above the ring in a shark cage.
Bayley vs. Charlotte Flair for the Raw Women’s Championship
It’s a simple story–Bayley is a sweet girl with big dreams who wants to win the biggest prize in her division. Charlotte Flair is wrestling royalty who won’t give up the title to anyone. They’re going to fight to see who’s best.
Neville vs, Rich Swann for the Cruiserweight Championship
Neville has gone super-evil in his quest to reach the top of the cruiserwight division, and unfortunately for Rich Swann, it seems there’s no one who can stop him.
