As we inch closer and closer to WWE's Royal Rumble on January 28th, the rumors continue to heat up. There have been rumors flying around possible heel turns, results in the championship matches, and of course who will win the Royal Rumble match. But it's actually not just ONE Royal Rumble match this year, as WWE will be hosting it's first ever FEMALE Royal Rumble match.

So with all of these rumors, and all of the directions they could go, what is the one rumor that all of the "experts" are getting behind this week? It's who's going to win the Men's Royal Rumble.

SB Nation's Cageside Seats, Sportskeeda, and others are all reporting that the Royal Rumble winner will be a star from the Smackdown roster.

Meaning the winner will be facing AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, or Sami Zayn at Wrestlemania. There's still some clearing up to be done between the plans for the Styles/Ownes/Zayn match at Rumble. But whoever wins that one will likely face the Rumble winner, if these rumors hold up.

This isn't the first confirmed rumor for the Royal Rumble.

A few weeks ago on Wrestling Observer Radio (heard on 1130 The Tiger every weeknight at 7pm) Dave Meltzer relieved that Brock Lesnar's championship match at Rumble wouldn't be against Finn Balor. Here's the audio
