WWE Royal Rumble 2020: Predicting 3 Men’s Rumble winners before TLC
By Mark Justice
1.) CM Punk
Kofi Mania and KO Mania would be fantastic, but would they be the ‘best’ case scenarios? Absolutely not, especially since the Best in the World officially debuted on Fox’s WWE Backstage three weeks ago.
Royal Rumble 2014 was the very last wrestling event from which the WWE Universe saw CM Punk inside the WWE ring. What if he returns to Royal Rumble 2020 as the #30 entrant and wins the Rumble to finally fulfill his lifelong dream of main eventing WrestleMania?
After his perfect response to the Hulk Hogan question, as well as his exemplary advice to Seth Rollins’ tweeting, this Superstar should already be the WWE Champion and should hold onto it longer than 434 days this time. In fact, he should hold onto it forever; besides, he is the predominant reason pro wrestling was revolutionized in the WWE to begin with.
He was also the predominant reason fans tuned in to watch the WWE in 2011-2013 and is now the reason fans tune in to watch WWE Backstage in 2019. Most importantly, thanks to the pulse that he has for the WWE product, he is the predominant reason WWE is exhilarating to watch.
Although Punk’s debut on WWE Backstage was exhilarating, the fans need to hear that huge crowd reaction in the WWE arena. Many will be excited to witness his candid insight on the WWE product, but the inner ‘mark’ in the WWE fanbase will never count out a CM Punk return to the WWE ring.
In fact, even the WWE Superstars, such as Seth Rollins and Universal Champion Bray Wyatt, won’t count it out either. These two Superstars continue to tease a match with Punk, but Rollins seems to be the more notable target.
Rollins arrived as a guest to WWE Backstage this week to address the CM Punk situation as well as his tweeting. It looks like this feud is far from over and could blow up on the road to WrestleMania, if intended.

If Rollins and Punk were the final two in the Rumble and Punk eliminated the Royal Rumble Winner of 2019 at the last moment to earn a main event championship opportunity at WrestleMania 36, it would blow the roof off the place. Whether that WrestleMania championship match be against WWE Champion Brock Lesnar or Universal Champion Bray Wyatt, it will finally be time to change the culture and live the revolution. But most importantly, it’ll be clobbering time.
