Here is your Fight-Size Update for Saturday, January 30, 2021.
~ Speaking with Forbes, Rey Mysterio gave his Royal Rumble prediction:
“If I give you my pick, I feel like I’m giving it away. Like, that’s gonna be the winner,” Rey began.
“I definitely see Ziggler. For some reason, I think he’s one of the top three. Besides that, I would love to see Dominik in the last five. I think that would be incredible. Garza and Andrade would be incredible there. I don’t know if it’s the timing, but I would love to see them in the Top 5 as well.”
