Backstage News on Top WrestleMania 39 Matches Coming Out of the WWE Royal Rumble

[Dale]

While Rhea Ripley won the Women’s Royal Rumble on Saturday night, a focal point of the match was how Damage CTRL dominated things. WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Dakota Kai and IYO SKY were eliminated by Becky Lynch, buy Bayley then eliminated Lynch. Liv Morgan then eliminated Bayley, which led to Damage CTRL brawling with Lynch through the crowd.

A new report from Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated notes that Lynch vs. Bayley is planned for WrestleMania 39.

The main event saw Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns retain over Kevin Owens, but the post-match angle included a spot where Sami Zayn turned on Reigns and The Bloodline. Zayn was beatdown by his former stablemates, except for Jey Uso, who walked out on the beatdown.

It was reported months ago that Zayn vs. Reigns was planned for WWE Elimination Chamber on February 18 in Zayn’s hometown of Montreal, and word now is that this match is still planned. Zayn and Owens vs. Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos was also planned at one point, and now word is that this match will take place at WrestleMania 39. It was recently reported that WWE was splitting up the tag team titles again, but it looks like The Usos may walk into WrestleMania with both sets of titles.

Regarding Ripley’s title shot at WrestleMania 39, Barrasso noted that she is slated to challenge RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair in Los Angeles. Ripley briefly touched on the potential match during the post-show press conference, but it wasn’t a given that she would challenge Belair.

Cody Rhodes won the Men’s Royal Rumble and he is now set to challenge Reigns at WrestleMania 39. There had been rumors on Reigns defending one title on each night, but there’s no word yet on if they will go in that direction. There’s still a lot that can happen between Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania.

Other rumored or planned matches for WrestleMania 39 coming out of the Royal Rumble are Finn Balor vs. WWE Hall of Famer Edge (believed to be some sort of stipulation match, perhaps Hell In a Cell), Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley, Rey Mysterio vs. Dominik Mysterio, and Seth Rollins vs. Logan Paul, among others.​

Probably going to get Charlotte/Raquel for the SD title aswell. Wouldn't mind another GUNTER/Sheamus IC matchup with Sheamus finally completing the set.

Seth vs. Logan could honestly steal the show.

 

[Cwalker]

I been saying Charlotte/Raquel was happening since Charlotte won the title.

Almost everything else is pretty much what we expected. Minus Seth/Logan. Which has potential

 

[Deezy]

This report just looks like someone making the same guesses we all had who watched the show lol.

This would be like me going "this is whats going to happen" in The Last Of Us thread.....after I watched tonight, even though I have no contacts with anyone from the show, other than getting likes from some of the producers because I keep putting the show over on the socials.

I will put my two cents here. The only two people I could see challenge Charlotte at Wm is either Raquel or Liv Morgan due to her performance in the rumble.

All of them are faces…why not Bayzler I don’t think her and Charlotte have ever had a program

I'd rather have Gunther face McIntyre for the IC tbh. His matches with Sheamus were great obviously but I'd like to see him going up against someone he hasn't fought before and a Gunther/McIntyre match would be a banger. Plus, I don't see anything else for McIntyre to do at WrestleMania

 

[Red Eyed Demon]

The SD Women's Title match could be a multi-person match. Charlotte vs. Shayna vs. Liv vs. Raquel. I'd take that over another Charlotte vs. Ronda match.

 

[Jimmy King]

Drew and Gunther would be good but I think I personally want it with Sheamus and Gunther, and have Sheamus win so he can be a grand slam champion.

If I were to guess, they do a multi-woman match for the tag titles. Ronda/Shayna, Liv/Tegan etc

 

[Red Eyed Demon]

Welp I guess Rhea vs. Bianca is out of the picture then. Insert sad face here.

 

[Dale]

Big sad indeed, was looking forward to that.

 

[Wiseman]

Big sad indeed, was looking forward to that.

I mean, I guess when it comes down to it if Rhea didn't challenge Charlotte was there a big match for Charlotte at WM?

 

[Y2Jayne]

Bianca and Rhea have unfinished business and the champion has been steamrolling through all the other women, it really should have happened.

They could have just done the chamber match they're done now but for the SD title shot?
