The next pay-per-view (PPV) in WWE programming is the Royal Rumble an event scheduled to take place on Sunday, January 31, 2021, at the ThunderDome at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, the company’s annual showcase for the start of the year featuring its most popular fireworks display. He will crown the next number one contender for the Raw (World) or SmackDown (Universal) championship for men, and the female title of Raw or SmackDown for women.
The show is still a few weeks away, and here’s what is set so far:
- Royal Rumble game for men
Here’s who’s officially in the match from now on: Daniel Bryan, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, AJ Styles, Otis
- Royal Rumble game for women
Here are who’s officially in the match from now on: Nia Jax, Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Bayley
- Roman Reigns (c) vs. Adam Pearce (universal championship)
Reigns turned against Pearce, considering the recent yellow card, then arranged for him to be put in a Gauntlet fight to determine the next main contender, then ensured that he won the match. That’s how we came to Adam Pearce challenging for an important WWE title in the year of our lord 2021.
WWE has yet to make it official, but Goldberg challenging Drew McIntyre for the WWE championship is clearly planned, as it was programmed on television last week.
Apollo Crews may be on the line for another chance at Big E and the Intercontinental Championship, while The Street Profits may be on the line for a rematch against Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode for the SmackDown tag team titles. There is not much more provoked from now on.
