WWE News: Update On The Championship Matches At Royal Rumble

As of now, three major championship matches for the Royal Rumble PPV have already been announced from both Raw and Smackdown. It’ll be Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens for the WWE Universal Championship from Raw whereas John Cena will take on AJ Styles for the WWE championship from WWE Smackdown. Also, the Raw Women’s championship will be on the line with Charlotte up against Bayley.

With just 23 days remaining for the PPV, we are getting some major updates on the outcome. Dave Meltzer from Wrestling Observer Newsletter has suggested the WWE is willing to crown John Cena as the WWE champion, for the first time since 2014.
If it happens, it’ll be a monumental occasion for the franchise since he will finally pick up the record 16th world championship to tie the record of legendary Ric Flair.

Meltzer also reported the WWE is firmly planning the much-anticipated Undertaker-Cena match at this year’s Wrestlemania. We have seen fans at the All-State arena were chanting the name of the Undertaker when Cena said: “what’s next for me?” Apparently, the WWE wants to give the fans what they want to make them happy by finally making the dream match.

Cena winning the championship at Royal Rumble will be the perfect set up for the match. Undertaker will either enter the Royal Rumble or challenge Cena in due course to announce it officially.

The rumor mill also has some big update regarding the Raw Women’s championship match. It says that Bayley will not come out victorious in the title match against Charlotte. As per reports from wrestlingINC.com, Bayley has to wait for a bit long.

Vince McMahon has a big push in store for the hugger from Wrestlemania onwards where Bayley is scheduled to break Charlotte’s undefeated PPV streak and finally become the face of women’s division. Hence, she will have to wait until April 3rd to finally become the women’s champion.
