WWE Royal Rumble 2023 Predictions: Seth Rollins Will Reclaim His First WrestleMania Main Event
By Mark Justice
Karrion Kross vs. Rey Mysterio [Grudge Match]
Karrion Kross will defeat Rey Mysterio because he needs to avenge Mysterio for taking away his spot in the number one contender’s match for the Intercontinental Title on the October 14, 2022, episode of WWE SmackDown. Kross was taken out of that number one contender’s match due to Drew McIntyre’s attack in the parking lot. Kross needs to get past Mysterio in order to establish his spot as the number one contender for the IC Title and hopefully get his rubber match against McIntyre for the belt at ‘Mania once McIntyre dethrones GUNTHER.
Prediction: Karrion Kross
Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley [Rubber Match]
Brock Lesnar will defeat Bobby Lashley definitively in what seems to be the end of a trilogy because he did not defeat Lashley cleanly at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia and he needs redemption from last year’s Royal Rumble, where he lost the WWE Championship to Lashley due to nefarious interference from Roman Reigns. Lesnar also needs this victory to continue his momentum toward his rumored match with GUNTHER at ‘Mania. It seems that Lashley is having trouble with Adam Pearce at the moment, so that may play a factor here and lead to a Hurt Business reunion.
Prediction: Brock Lesnar
