WWE Royal Rumble 2023 – Match card, predictions, rumours and start time

 There have been tense moments here and there for t

he Head of the Table over the last couple of years, certainly, but deep down we've never felt like he's going to lose his hard-won title.

That doesn't mean there hasn't been plenty of fun to be had seeing who is scrambling to have the next go (and how they got there).

Who's Next? It's Kevin Owens, who has gone toe-to-toe with Reigns several times in recent years, adding layer upon layer to their story - and that's before you consider that his Fight Forever Best Frenemy Sami Zayn is now firmly part of the Bloodline.

 Bray Wyatt has very much been talking the talk since his fiery return to the WWE, but he's yet to actually lay down a marker in the squared circle.

He's been putting away Jinder Mahal during untelevised live events, but this is the real deal.

A Pitch Black match (no, us neither) between Bray and LA Knight.

These two men have plenty on offer to make this an intriguing match-up, but the real question is who is Uncle Howdy and how will he make his presence felt... and in whose corner.

You can never quite trust Bray Wyatt, but we're thinking that he's telling the truth at the moment, or at least that he thinks he is, and that Uncle Howdy will cost him the win here.
