<p>The Road to WrestleMania 40 will officially kick off this week with WWE’s first Premium Live Event of 2024 - The Royal Rumble.&nbsp;</p> <p>Every WrestleMania season starts with the Royal Rumble Event as 30 Men and 30 Women enter the infamous Royal Rumble Match and the last one standing punches their ticket to the biggest stage in sports entertainment.&nbsp;</p> <p>The WWE hasn’t been this hot since the Attitude Era, with a long list of potential winners in both the Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble matches to go alongside a very juicy fatal four way match for the Universal Championship. So who will achieve what Cody Rhodes and Aussie Rhea Ripley achieved last year? Our tips and predictions for the 2024 WWE Royal Rumble are below:&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>WWE Royal Rumble 2024 Predictions - The Guys&nbsp;</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>CM Punk</strong></em></p> <p>Punk’s return to the WWE in November was electric, the Chicago crowd went ballistic for their hometown hero. After a 10 year absence, he made his intentions very clear when he was handed a microphone - to win the Royal Rumble and main event WrestleMania against Seth Rollins.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>Cody Rhodes</strong></em></p> <p>Rhodes has been chasing Roman Reigns ever since his shock defeat to the Undisputed Champion at WrestleMania 39. Various roadblocks &amp; brand splits have kept Rhodes away from Reigns but a second consecutive Rumble win would give Cody the chance to finally finish his story.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>The Rock&nbsp;</strong></em></p> <p>The People’s Champion returned to the first episode of WWE Raw in 2024 and the final line of his promo hinted at a possible dream match with his cousin Roman Reigns. Many wrestling pundits have been wondering how they’ll get there but a surprise Royal Rumble entry &amp; being victorious for the second time would be a clear path.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>Sami Zayn&nbsp;</strong></em></p> <p>A Dark Horse. Zayn hasn’t been seen on WWE TV for over a month now but came within microseconds of pinning Seth Rollins for that World Heavyweight Championship. Many have been clamouring for a Sami Zayn World Title run after a huge program last year with The Bloodline and if management want to reward a company man over a returning superstar, Zayn could very much be the guy.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Betting Tip: </strong><em>Cody Rhodes</em> - Picking against the short priced favourite and Cody becomes the second back to back Royal Rumble champion since Stone Cold Steve Austin in 1997 and 1998.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>WWE Royal Rumble 2024 Predictions - The Girls</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>Bayley&nbsp;</strong></em></p> <p>One the linchpins of the Women’s division, Bayley has just about done everything there is to do in the WWE except win a Royal Rumble match and have a singles match at WrestleMania.&nbsp;</p> <p>Bayley has vowed to do just that &amp; take on Rhea Ripley when she wins. She looks very likely especially with her Damage CTRL stable by her side... or are they?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>Becky Lynch&nbsp;</strong></em></p> <p>Lynch has made it very clear she wants to be the first Woman to win the Royal Rumble twice &amp; she wants to finally get her hands on Rhea Ripley after their paths have crossed multiple times outside the ring for over a year now.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>Jade Cargill&nbsp;</strong></em></p> <p>One of the biggest marquee signings for the WWE in 2023 but she has yet to make her in-ring debut for the company. Cargill is an imposing figure and has all the tools to win this match with ease. It would be a BIG moment.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>Naomi&nbsp;</strong></em></p> <p>Naomi left the company on bad terms years ago but rumours are swirling that the 2 time Women’s Champion could be making a return. With ties to Jimmy Uso &amp; The Bloodline, a potential character change could be exciting and makes Naomi a dark horse if she is to return.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Betting Tip:</strong> <em>Becky Lynch</em> - The Man gets the job done and books her place atop the card at WrestleMania.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
