Let’s look at the 2022 WWE Royal Rumble predictions.
This is the first time Edge teaming up with his real-life partner Beth Phoenix in his WWE career. The Miz and Maryse are not unfamiliar with working together in a WWE ring. Both Maryse and Phoenix are former champions who no longer compete in the ring. Our Prediction: Edge & Beth Phoenix win the match.
Three weeks ago on Monday Night RAW, Doudrop became the new #1 contender for the RAW Women’s title by defeating Liv Morgan and Bianca Belair in a triple threat match. Doudrop is a fresh opponent for Becky Lynch. But it hard to imagine Doudrop picking up the RAW Women’s title, because Becky in a featured spot at WrestleMania 38 as RAW women's champion and possibly will defend her title against the winner of the women's Rumble match. Our Prediction: Becky Lynch retains her RAW Women's Championship.
January 7th edition of SmackDown ended with Seth Rollins showing up in Roman Reigns' locker room and laughing at him. Rollins was then confirmed on the following Monday Night RAW that he will challenge Reigns for the Universal title at Royal Rumble. The storyline is fantastic because of their promo segments. If this wasn’t the Royal Rumble premium live event this could easily be the match of the night. With the stipulation added that the Usos are barred from ringside, this will definitely be a one-on-one match. It’s hard to imagine the tribal chief lose in a WrestleMania season. Our Prediction: Roman Reigns retains his Universal Championship
Brock Lesnar became the new WWE champion at Day 1 after winning a fatal five-way match against Bobby Lashley, Big E, Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens. The following Monday Night RAW, Lashley earned a title match against Lesnar after defeating Big E, Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens. This is the first time that these two superstars face each other in a singles match. Bobby Lashley has been confidence and respect of his opponent, while Brock Lesnar is completely ignoring his challenger. Both superstars have a very good MMA background. This match could end in Lashley defeats Lesnar for the WWE Championship with assistance of some sort from Paul Heyman and gives Lesnar the shortest title reign of his career. Our Prediction: Bobby Lashley becomes the new WWE Champion.

Our Prediction: Ronda Rousey wins the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble Match.
