This saga between The Bloodline, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens has been SOOOO GOOD. To some people like me, you want to add another swerve chapter prolong this storyline, but I understand that the majority are already wanting the Sami Uso beatdown from the hands of Roman Reigns, Usos and Solo Sikoa. That way, Sami could become the biggest babyface in WWE (even bigger than Bray Wyatt and Cody Rhodes), and ultimately dethrone either Roman Reigns or The Usos (reconnecting with KO). I smell a swerve of some unexpected proportions, with Jey Uso showing brotherly love to Sami Zayn—or perhaps, Kevin Owens pulls off a landscape-altering upset tonight against The Tribal Chief and win the coveted Undisputed WWE Championship.
Tomorrow, one thing’s for sure—the wheels will fall off, and begin the long, difficult road to WrestleMania 39 for one, two, or everyone involved in the biggest storyline WWE is telling right now.
Will The Rock make a surprise appearance at this year’s Rumble? It feels like he will. He won’t necessarily compete though, as he can just show up and challenge Roman Reigns for one of the titles at WrestleMania. If he does enter the Royal Rumble, he’s gonna be the final surprise entrant at #30 and as much as I would want Sami Zayn to win it, Rocky will surely win the match if The Great One shows up.
Meltzer has said that Dwayne Johnson is unable to commit, well, who knows, HHH/WWE might be intentionally leaking out false info. They didn’t make Cody’s return a surprise, so I believe we’re in for a much bigger treat.
It might still be early, but I’m already feelin’ the Royal Rumble season! It is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing and anticipated events in WWE history, as the winner on the Mens Rumble potentially becomes the chosen one (literally) to finally dethrone Roman Reigns as Undisputed Champion at WrestleMania 39. Also, it’s a toss-up between Becky Lynch or Rhea Ripley since these two have the most momentum right now. Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey is already a lock, so Becky might not even need to win the Women’s Rumble, as Rhea will certainly benefit more from it. Charlotte is also in the play, as she’s almost certain to come back at the event and possibly score another Rumble win. Sasha Banks might be a long shot right now, but with HHH at the helm, you can never be so sure. A lot can happen between now and up to January 28, 2023.
Speaking of the Road to WrestleMania 39, there’s talk about the Tribal Chief defending both his titles in separate WrestleMania nights, with either the WWE Championship or Universal Championship in night 1, and the other in night 2. I dig it. Here’s why.
Rumors are circling around that The Rock is being considered to win next year’s Royal Rumble. You can have him go after the Universal Championship, since he hasn’t won that one yet. That’s a money-making move in WWE’s part, since it’ll definitely cross mainstream media and bring more eyes to the product. However, as far as building a new megastar is concerned, I’d rather go with Cody Rhodes or Sami Zayn. For Cody, the story writes itself, not to mention he also has a little bit of mainstream/Hollywood appeal. Sami Zayn—we all know how this can play out. Him and Kevin Owens can go after the Usos for the Tag Team Championships and there’s nothing wrong with that..but I prefer that Sami goes ‘Solo’ on this one and become the ultimate babyface for WWE, 2023 and beyond. Have either Sami or Cody challenge for Roman’s WWE Championship. Another scenario is for Roman to retain against The Rock, then the next night (post-WrestleMania RAW), have Sami somehow get a title shot against Roman and he beats him for the Universal Championship. Imagine how hot the crowd will be for that one!
Next year’s Royal Rumble is shaping up to be a treat to WWE Universe. John Cena—believed to be announcing his Royal Rumble entry at the end of the year, Kevin Owens and even Solo Sikoa could potentially win the event, long shot as it may be for them. As for my personal picks, I’ll go with those who have built quite a momentum this year: Rhea Ripley and Sami Zayn. Becky Lynch and Cody Rhodes are already main event players, they’ll find a way to become champions somehow.
It’s time for HHH to prove that he can create future WWE icons, and next year’s Rumble is the perfect place for him to do it.
Brock Lesnar is doing the best work of his career so far. No one expected The Beast to be this good and enjoyable as a face. He has totally flipped the script, making his part-time appearances almost a non-issue anymore. But yeah, he has more frequent appearances these past few months compared to the other years combined.
Bobby Lashley has waited years for this mega match to happen. Though he has lost some of the momentum he had during his WWE Championship run, he can still dish the hurt. That Hurt Lock on Brock Lesnar on Day 1 PPV might happen again tonight, and that just might be enough for him to regain the gold again.
Looks like Roman Reigns’ Universal Championship reign is in serious jeopardy. The red-hot Seth FREAKIN’ Rollins is making it known to the Tribal Chief that he’s ready to be a main event champion again.

Is it Finn Balor’s time now? Can he realistically slay The Beast, Brock Lesnar?
Sure, Finn’s giving up a lot of weight in this matchup. However, this is WWE, not MMA. The fans are behind Balor right now and if I’m Vince McMahon, I’ll give Finn Balor at least 50% chance of winning at the Rumble. But if WWE’s preparing a Rollins WrestleMania moment, Brock’s going over this Sunday. No offense to Braun, everyone knows he’s not winning the Universal Championship anytime soon, healthy elbow or not. Vince and co. could’ve done that long time ago if they were really behind the idea. With him not being cleared (according to rumors), Finn’s the perfect replacement to challenge the reigning, defending, undisputed Universal Champion.
If Finn goes Demon this Sunday, what do you think his chances of winning are? Will they keep him undefeated thus becoming the new champ or will they bring him to Suplex City and feed him to Lesnar instead?

This year’s Royal Rumble match is STACKED! Right now, there are 22 announced participants so there are a couple of slots left for both minor and major surprise appearances. Samoa Joe is 99% going to show up and has a HUGE chance of winning (due to rumors), while the likes of soon-to-be Hall of Famer Kurt Angle and the possibly returning Finn Balor are 50/50 at best. And there’s Kenny Omega – though he isn’t likely going to appear unless he’s trolling everyone. Goldberg and Lesnar will probably eliminate one another. Triple H and Seth Rollins (he’ll get in one way or another!) is going to ruin each other’s chances for sure. The Undertaker has a pretty good chance of winning it too.
As for my pick, well, I have to give it to WWE for making this Rumble one of the most unpredictable yet. I believe he’s not the favorite to win it all but I have to go with Chris Jericho. With the run he’s having, Jericho SHOULD win the Royal Rumble this year and face Kevin Owens for the Universal Title at WrestleMania 33.
The first WWE wallpaper of 2016 here at Kupy Wrestling Wallpapers is none other than the 2016 Royal Rumble wallpaper! I know I know it’s a bit late since the event will commence in just a few hours so I’m sorry about that. At least I was able to make the deadline 😛
Roman Reigns entering at no. 1 didn’t surprise any. A lot of people would be surprised though if he doesn’t win the Rumble since it looks like the WWE World Heavyweight Championship defense stipulation was made to make him look very strong heading into WrestleMania 32. With the Triple H feud looming in the background though, there’s a realistic chance that Roman’s loses the title to The Game himself and will result to a championship match at WrestleMania. I do hope that this isn’t the route WWE will go for. We need that BIG surprise. A new champ perhaps in the form of Kevin Owens? Or the sure star power bet Brock Lesnar? Daniel Bryan? What about AJ Styles winning the championship in his first day at work? There are tons of possibilities WWE can explore so that they can garner intrigue and interest on their way to WrestleMania season.
Or we can just sit back and enjoy the show later. Good times ahead!
