Match Card of Royal Rumble 2024

 Matches for Royal Rumble 2024: Match Card and Anticipated Order

  • United States Championship: Logan Paul (c) vs. Kevin Owens
  • Women’s Royal Rumble Match
  • Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Fatal 4-Way: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Randy Orton vs. AJ Styles vs. LA Knight
  • Men’s Royal Rumble Match

The Fatal Four-Way match to test Roman Reigns and The Bloodline

The wrestlers who will be fighting Roman Reigns in the Fatal Four-Way match make a formidable lot. Reigns will be in the ring with 14-time WWE Champ Randy Orton, two-time WWE Champ AJ Styles, and the heart of the fans, LA Knight. The story so far has things going strongly for The Viper, who can become a 15-time champ and get closer to John Cena and Ric Flair’s records.

LA Knight is over with the crowd at the moment, but he still has a rite of passage to follow before wielding the WWE title. But, the chances of Roman Reigns retaining the title at the Royal Rumble once more still stand strong, especially with The Bloodline at his side.

Kevin Owens to reclaim the US Championship from Logan Paul?

Kevin Owens is one of the strongest and the heaviest hitters in WWE. KO is a three-time US Champ and had great title reigns with a rabid and punishing fighting style. But, The Impaulsive Logan Paul looks ready to take on Owens head-on. 

The last time KO held the US title was back in 2017 and he doesn’t have much momentum going for him. Moreover, he also has an injured hand, putting him at a disadvantage against the high-flying Paul. Hence, it is highly likely that Logan Paul will both enter and walk out of the Royal Rumble as the US Champ.

Damage CTRL to contain the storm at the Women’s Rumble?

The Women’s Royal Rumble will see high-voltage action from several wrestlers aiming for the WWE Women’s Championship. But, despite the Rumble having 30 contenders, Bayley seems to have the upper hand on all of them. 

The leader of Damage CTRL can easily storm and take over the ring, with her team awarding the win to their leader in the end. Bayley can then challenge Rhea Ripley for her WWE title, setting up the stage for her faction to have both the championship belts.

The Best in the World to remain the last man standing at the Royal Rumble?

The storied return of CM Punk to WWE wreaked havoc in the viewership numbers for the company. The timing of his return syncs with an important event in his past which is a telltale sign that Punk will emerge as the victor of the Royal Rumble.
