Who will win the WWE Royal Rumble 2019?

6. Andrade "Cien" Almas

Andrade "Cien" Almas wrestled for most of his career under a mask as La Sombra, primarily for the CMLL promotion in Mexico. He went so far as to join their top heel stable Los Ingobernables before winning a WWE contract.

Once he was assigned to NXT, he sort of floundered for a time. Andrade was good, fluid, and a superb high flyer, but so were many other athletes. He found himself taking a back seat to men like Bobby Roode and Shinsuke Nakamura.

However, once he was paired with Zelina Vega as his mouthpiece, Almas has found great success. He was NXT champion and received a call up to Smackdown quickly after winning the belt. Almas gave us a great highlight moment from last year's Rumble where he ate an RKO during a springboard body splash attempt. Will his highlight be actually winning the rumble this time?

Chances of winning the Royal Rumble: 25%

Almas isn't quite to the main event level yet on Smackdown, and perhaps needs more seasoning before he is truly ready for a top slot at Wrestlemania's card.
