CM Punk will return to WWE after 10 years at Royal Rumble 2024 (Prediction)

Iyo Sky (c) vs. Charlotte Flair [WWE Women’s Championship]
Another top star Jade Cargill could battle is Charlotte Flair, who will likely dethrone Iyo Sky on this big 4 PPV to become a 15-time Women’s Champion. Although Iyo Sky deserves to walk into Mania as the women’s champion, WWE will likely end her reign before then to assure they have their biggest star in title matches for the biggest show of the year. This foreseeable, as Iyo Sky has been running through her title challengers way too quickly. Flair vs. Belair seems to be the long term plan for Mania, as they teased it in their SummerSlam feud with Asuka months ago.
Prediction: Charlotte Flair
Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Becky Lynch [World Women’s Championship]
Rhea Ripley will retain her World Women’s Title against Becky Lynch to solidify her dominant title reign. By this PLE, Becky Lynch should have already lost the NXT Women’s Championship and be ready to put over Ripley after the many teases they had throughout the calendar year. Unlike Iyo Sky, Ripley is already booked like a megastar and has sufficient starpower to draw a WrestleMania title match. As great as Lynch is, she already had her big Mania Moments so she doesn’t need this. Jade Cargill will likely choose Ripley as her Mania opponent, as she is rumored to debut on Raw.
Prediction: Rhea Ripley
