The Miz Picks Gunther & Asuka To Win WWE Royal Rumble Matches, Names His Favorite Rumble Moment

The Miz has yet to declare himself for the WWE Royal Rumble, and he has thus named his picks to win the men’s and women’s Rumble matches. As of now, the A-Lister has not entered the men’s Rumble match for Saturday’s PLE. He teased the notion of doing so in an appearance on ESPN Get Up, but made his predictions nonetheless without naming himself.

The Miz picked Asuka and Gunther to win the women’s and men’s Royal Rumble matches. He also named his personal favorite Royal Rumble moment, naming his 2012 performance where he entered at #1 and lasted 45 minutes before going out 25th. You can see the highlights below:

On His Own Favorite Rumble Moment:

“In 2012, I was the first participant, which is the worst spot you could possibly be in because you have to be in there the longest. You want to be number 30. I was number one, was in there for 45 minutes. Almost won, but did not. That was a pretty great moment for me to last as long as I did. Not many superstars are able to do that, especially being the first entrant.

On Who He Picks To Win the Rumbles:

“So right now, Gunther is taking on AJ Styles in a regular match. But it’s not just a regular match. AJ Styles put his career on the line. And Gunther has retired John Cena. He was the last match that John Cena had. He tapped him out, and now I feel like Gunther has been on a tear. If he is able to retire AJ Styles that night, then go into the Royal Rumble and win the Royal Rumble, I don’t think anyone can stop Gunther and he’s been on a tear.

“And then for the women’s side, I would say Asuka. A lot of people don’t know this or don’t remember this, but Asuka was my tag team partner in the Mixed Match Challenge, and we ended up winning the Mixed Match Challenge. So she is an absolute star, and I feel like she is able has the capabilities to do and win the Royal Rumble.”
