This is the final episode before the Royal Rumble.

On this episode of TTW, we break down everything that actually matters heading into WWE’s most important match of the year. From the fallout of Saturday Night’s Main Event to the go-home RAW, this is a full momentum check on who WWE clearly believes in — and who still feels unresolved as WrestleMania season begins.

Before predictions, we also run through a fun Royal Rumble Top 5, covering Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble matches, debuts and returns, and Royal Rumble winners. No stakes, no forecasting — just Rumble vibes.

We close the show with full Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble predictions, framed around belief, direction, and momentum rather than fantasy booking.

Because when the Rumble ends, the noise disappears — and everything changes.
