It is a new year and WWE will look to give the WWE Universe lots of memorable moments throughout the year and every year the fans try to predict what might happen in WWE in that year. However, no one would ever have guessed the things we saw in 2022, including the biggest change in WWE history when Vince McMahon retired and Triple H took control of creative. 2023 will be a game changing year for WWE.
In this article Predictions will be made as to things that might happen inside the ring as well as outside of it as it will be a big year behind the scenes as well for WWE. So, let’s start with the Predictions for WWE in 2023
1) Cody Rhodes wins the Men’s Royal Rumble Match
This is the first prediction and since the Royal Rumble is just under a month away so the first couple of predictions will be regarding the event and the main one is that Cody Rhodes will win the Royal Rumble Match and he will headline WrestleMania 39. This is the most logical step in the story and the fans want to see it happen and Triple H will want to make the fans happy and make his first Royal Rumble memorable
2) This Royal Rumble will see some of the biggest returns ever
Returns happen almost every year at the Royal Rumble but there are only a select few years when the returns are jaw dropping and 2023 will have many such jaw dropping returns as Triple H will want to make it the best Royal Rumble Match. The likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, John Cena, Trish Stratus, Lita and so many more will most likely participate in the match and thus Royal Rumble 2023 will be one for the history books
3) Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens will win the Undisputed Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania
WrestleMania 39 will be one of the biggest WrestleMania events of all time and the one thing that can be safely predicted is that Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will unify and team up to take on The Usos at WrestleMania and they will beat them and become Undisputed Tag Team Champions. The story is being moved forward in such a direction so that this match will be the payoff to the story.
4) Roman Reigns vs The Rock will happen at WrestleMania 39
This is a bold prediction as it was predicted early in the article that Cody Rhodes would win the Royal Rumble and he would challenge for the WWE championship because the titles will be split before WrestleMania. And then at night 2 the WWE fans will get to see the dream match between Roman Reigns vs The Rock because The Rock will be free and he would want to wrestle his final WWE match and WrestleMania 39 will be bigger because of it.
5) 2023 will be the year of Rhea Ripley
2022 was the year where Bianca Belair truly came into her own in WWE as she became a true champion and she won a lot of big time Matches. And 2023 will be the year of Rhea Ripley and she will have a year unlike any other as she will most likely win the Women’s Royal Rumble Match and then at WrestleMania she will beat Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Championship. And 2033 is the year where Rhea Ripley becomes a legend.

6) WWE will get more money from their television deals
This is the first prediction that is from outside the ring and it is one of the most important ones in this list because Television deals are very important to run any show and in 2023 WWE will have talks about their new TV deals for both Raw and SmackDown and based on the last year and the creative changes that have happened in WWE, both USA Network and Fox Sports will give more than what they gave last time. WWE will get more than $2 billion for both Raw and SmackDown deals.
7) Batista will headline the WWE Hall of Fame in 2023
The 2023 Hall of Fame will be extremely important as it will be the first WWE Hall of Fame in the Triple H era and as Batista was supposed to go in the WWE Hall with Fame in 2020 and it could not happen due to Covid, so in 2023 Batista will be the headline act in front of his fans in Los Angeles CA. And Batista deserves this honor as he has been instrumental in the 2000s era of WWE.
