WWE Championship Match
AJ Styles (c) vs John Cena
John Cena is on the hunt for a record equaling 16th World title reign. AJ Styles is the man determined to spoil that party. You get a terrible feeling that Cena may get the win here and head to Elimination Chamber to defend it.
In the grand scheme of things, Cena eventually beating Ric Flair’s record of 16 world titles may not be a massive shock. It could potentially be equaled on Sunday night, with a smug Cena becoming the man to beat on SmackDown Live once again.
Styles, on the other hand, is coming off the back of probably the hottest WWE debut year that anyone has had. After making his WWE debut at last year’s Royal Rumble, this could be his time to prove his worth to WWE, by giving Cena another epic match.
This match should end with Cena walking out as the new champion, after a hot match. Cena may very well lose that title at March’s Elimination Chamber, but the Royal Rumble is his chance to bask in the glory once more.
Styles losing the title isn’t a bad thing, it can push him towards a potential feud with Shane McMahon at ‘Mania. We all know how much publicity he would receive if he was to face the heir apparent in WWE.
Prediction: John Cena wins the WWE Championship
