As of writing this, there are only 4 matches confirmed for the 2017 Royal Rumble. The Royal Rumble match itself is a no-brainer. AJ Styles will defend his WWE World Title against John Cena. Kevin Owens will defend the WWE Universal Title against Roman Reigns (Chris Jericho will be suspended above the ring in a shark cage). The last match that is confirmed is Bayley vs Charlotte for the RAW Women’s Title.

The 2017 Royal Rumble is rumored to run for 4 hours, meaning that we are going to need a lot more matches to fill out the card. Here is what is being rumored as the remaining matches:
Sheamus and Cesaro vs Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson – RAW Tag Team Titles. Karl Anderson defeated Cesaro this past week on RAW and it looks like the Good Brothers are in line for a title shot.
Alexa Bliss vs Becky Lynch – Smackdown Women’s Championship. With La Luchadora adding into the mix, it has made this feud a lot more interesting. Rumors right now suggest Becky will not get her rematch until the Rumble.

Sasha Banks vs Nia Jax – We saw Sasha Banks cost Nia Jax a shot at the RAW Women’s Championship on RAW this past week. Expect these two to face off at the Rumble in a few weeks.
Neville vs Rich Swann – WWE Cruiserweight Championship. It is clear that Neville will be the next Cruiserweight Champion. It is all a matter of when. He picked up a non-title win against Swann on 205 Live which should put him in line for a title shot. Guessing WWE stretches this out until the Rumble where Neville wins the belt.
That would put the event at 8 matches. We are guessing the Miz will cash in his re-match for the Intercontinental Title in the next few weeks.
