Once again Team SLTD have gotten together to give our thoughts on who we think will come out victorious at the Royal Rumble this Sunday. Will it be the WWE Champion AJ Styles or will Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn become the new and first joint champion?
We all give our thoughts below, let us know in the comments below who you think will win!

AJ Styles, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens in a match for the WWE’s top title. What more could you want? Not a handicap match that’s for sure! I don’t like the match type, it’s messy. Who becomes champ? Do Owens and Zayn become co-champions? Who knows. A standard triple threat would have sufficed as Sami and Kevin could still have teamed together against AJ. I’m hoping it’ll be a good match but there are a lot of moving parts which could lead this to an overbooked mess. Shane and Bryan could and likely will interfere at some point, there will be match restarts and dodgy decisions. It’s all go in this match. AJ wins, it’s the only thing that makes sense.

The WWE Championship Match has me intrigued. On the one side, AJ Styles is pretty much the best thing that has happened to WWE and SmackDown in recent years. After the disastrous reign of Jinder Mahal, Styles has brought stability to the belt and to SmackDown. On the other side, you have Owens and Zayn. I love the angle with these two playing off as heels, but I think its starting to wear a little thin. When Owens was with Chris Jericho, there was instant chemistry and people were on board with it. I don’t get that feeling with his pairing with Zayn, which is a shame. I want to look at this match without thinking too much about WrestleMania, which is why my pick for the match to win is Sami Zayn. It would push him through the glass ceiling and then give us a few Zayn-Owens matches. Who doesn’t want that?

This match is an odd one. The whole angle has been a weirdly wonky piece of booking. First off the centre of the feud is Shane and Bryan, which steamed from Shane and KO+Zayn, which then introduced AJ? What?!
I feel this match is simply there as a filler feud for AJ whilst the SmackDown creative team figure out who he’ll be facing at the Rumble (please be Finn). Whilst KO and Sami will shift over to the Shane v. Bryan feud.
AJ is probably going to go over on KO (who’s dealing with an injury), due to some shenanigans involving Shane and Daniel. Joy…

This whole feud has been odd and to be honest it hasn’t lived up to my expectations. AJ calling Kevin and Sami, Kami is making me cringe by just writing it. Will we see co-champions? The answer from me is no, I think somehow Styles retains this Sunday and takes the title to Wrestlemania and will face the winner of the Royal Rumble, as for Owens and Zayn, personally, I hope they face The Usos at Wrestlemania for the Smackdown Tag Team Championships
@TittyFroster (It’s Wrestling)
So, AJ Styles is arguably the best wrestler in WWE today. His upcoming match, in my opinion, it’s crap that he’s in a 2 on one match. It’s not like I don’t think he can win but in WWE numbers matter. The build-up for this match was odd, but I do like the whole Shane and Daniel feud. It’s given life to the Yep movement. During the match, I don’t think K.O. and Sami will get along. They’re more than likely going to argue over who will get the pin. Which should lead to AJ capitalizing on that getting the pin to retain. That is, if Shane or Daniel don’t interfere, which could also happen.
