WWE Royal Rumble 2018 Predictions: A Phenomenal Night?

Women’s Royal Rumble Match
This match is the first of its’ kind. I even put together a list of my top 5 potential Women’s Royal Rumble swerves here on this website (check it out if you haven’t, cheap plug!).
My prediction for this match is simple. If Ronda Rousey is an entrant, she will win this match. I’m actually so confident that Rousey will enter that I’m officially picking her as my prediction to win the Rumble.
Rousey by far has the most to gain with a win. She will already be bringing in the legitimate credibility that she earned while trailblazing women’s MMA over in the UFC & Strikeforce. Ronda is a true pioneer for what she was able to do in that world. She’s an easy choice, in my opinion.
This would also be quite the feather in her cap, as she could lay claim to being the first ever UFC women’s champion and also the first ever winner of a Women’s Rumble. Winning this match would obviously grant Rousey a shot at either WWE Women’s Champion at WrestleMania.
If it were up to me, Rousey would eliminate Asuka during the Royal Rumble (planting the seeds for the two to have a match somewhere down the line) and challenge Charlotte Flair for the SD Women’s title at WrestleMania. Rousey vs. Flair is a dream match that fans have wanted for years and has the potential to be something really special. The WWE has a huge opportunity here with Rousey.
