WWE Royal Rumble 2013 Predictions

By Kendall Portis

U.S. Championship: The Miz vs. Antonio Cesaro. This match was confirmed last week to be featured on the YouTube pre-show. After losing the Intercontinental Championship to Kofi Kingston, The Miz has been doing a lot including commentary on Main Event and Miz TV. It's pretty obvious WWE has plans for him. Making The Miz United States Champion would be a step into the right direction also considering he recently turned face. I prefer for him to win via Figure Four Leg Lock made famous by Ric Flair.

Tag Team Championship: Team Hell No vs. Team Rhodes Scholars. I would like to see Rhodes Scholars win since Team Hell No wrapped up their anger management with Dr. Shelby. As wrong as it sounds, I need Team Hell No to win but to continue a feud with The Shield and lose it at WrestleMania.

WWE Championship: CM Punk vs. The Rock. After weeks of coming out on top of each other, who will come out on top? Last week on SmackDown, CM Punk confronted The Shield and it seems like they wont be involved in the championship match. Rumors are that CM Punk will retain and go on to face Undertaker at WrestleMania. That's not a bad idea since Punk has evolved since their rivalry in 2009. 

Royal Rumble Match: Over the past few weeks Randy Orton,  3MB, Sheamus, Prime Time Players, John Cena, and Ryback all confirmed their presence. Many blogs reported John Morrison might return tonight. If he does, him and The Miz can reunite as a tag team. WWE.com confirmed NXT rookie Bo Dallas will be in the royal rumble after winning a tournament Saturday morning. I have no official prediction for the match yet.
